I am getting ready to swap in my new axle and it looks like the pinion angle is going to suck. I probably should cut the C's and rotate them. Has anyone had any problems with there D44 or D60 having vibes in the front? I am running about 8" of lift and the axle is a 79 Ford D60.

With a 60 you should have lockout hubs in front so pinion angle should be a no-brainer.

it's high pinion and has lockout hubs, so there really isn't any need, but you can if you're bored, it's not hard.

Sounds good. I didn't want to have to rotate them but I figured now would be the time if it was needed.

Here's a recent thread with info on rotating the C's. Look at SeanP's post, it's pretty detailed.

Do it, if for nothing else it will keep the pinion further up, and keep u-joint angles down which can be very close to binding at full droop.
