: Worth it going to 35 spline outers on a D60 Chevy if still running hubs? 1TONTJ 01-03-2002, 06:58 AM I have Warn Premium hubs, and they seem to be the weak point in my D60. Is there much advantage in going to 35 spline outers with hubs? Seems a 35spline hub would be weaker (thinner metal) due to the bigger outer shaft diameter? Is the 35 spline upgrade only recommended for guys running drive flanges? Thanks, Phil SHERPA 01-03-2002, 08:47 AM It's a big hassle. Here's what you should do: I'll do a straight swap with you for all 30 spline outers and hubs/spindles. It'll be a direct bolt-on for you. I'll included a "C" note for your trouble. just send me an email when you want me to help you. --Sherpa.... lol 1TONTJ 01-03-2002, 09:58 AM No, I HAVE 30 spline stuff now, but was thinking of upgrading to 35 spline stuff later. Was wondering if it was a good idea. Are the 35 spline hubs weaker than 30 spline? The 35 spline upgrade only a good ideas if you run drive flanges? Thanks, Phil pcorssmit 01-03-2002, 11:43 AM FWIW, when I put mine in I completely went through the axle. I kept the 30 spline stubs, figuring I'd just go 35s if I broke one. Well, I did break one after 2 1/2 years. It also took out the spindle, both nuts, the lock ring, and the outer bearings (I went ahead and did the inners too, just in case). Not only did this add a lot to the cost, but if I'd had to drive it home from the trail, I'd have been screwed. Just something to think about. Oh yeah, I was running the OE Spicer hubs at the time. Pete Hypoid Drive 01-03-2002, 12:18 PM if you go to the 35 spl. outer stubs they are over .250 larger than the 30 spl. and I would recomend running spicer hubs toooooo! and yes its worth it it will cost you around 400.00 with stubs and new hubs:D :smokin: :smokin: 1TONTJ 01-03-2002, 04:58 PM $400??? you are paying too much ;-) BUT - if the stub is bigger, then the hub must be thinner, since the OD of the hub remains the same? So is the 35 spline hub weaker?

So is the 35 spline hub weaker? Phil Stubs, 2x73 + shipping/tax Warn hubs, ~185 Hub seal kit 2x8 New style joints, 2x38 + tax Spindle, 105 + 15 shipping Inner/Outer bearings (1 side) ~45? (forget) Spindle Nuts (1 side, don't have yet) Synthetic grease, 1 tube, 5 Full snap rings (haven't bought them yet this time) Damn, I wish mine only cost $400.

So is the 35 spline hub weaker? Phil I run them and have not broke them yet ! And I have Spares! so i can take some internal pics if you want !! compared to 30 spline stuff 189 hubs + tax 160 stubs+ tax about 350 to 360 depending on where you get them! most people break the Stub! seen alot of that! or the u- joint! have not seen a Hub go yet ? I say run the 30 spline then blow it up the reason i went with 35 is I did not have hubs so I bought new ones they are same in price for the Preimuim hubs! Adam, 1TONTJ 01-04-2002, 04:02 AM I can get the 35 spline stubs for $58 each, and the hubs cheaper than that (have to check). PM me if you want me to set you up. Phil RockRover 01-04-2002, 07:58 AM Hey 1TON...I just PM'd you... --D 1TONTJ 01-04-2002, 10:29 AM OK, the hubs cost more than I thought they would. I can get you 35 spline hubs and stubs for $300.
