I'll post a short video of how we hob the ID splines in-house on a cnc lathe probably tomorrow :)

Jeff

Jeff,

Is this going to be a complete kit when you offer this.

Got a 2006 2500 CTD looking to get hubs in the future.

Yes it will, CrMo 35 spline with lock-outs and good u-joints etc..., or if you're on a tighter budget you can source alot of the parts youself since it's based off of a D60.

Jeff

Very nice,should be a top notch kit.

When do you plan on having the complete kit available and rough estimate on cost.

We made a few changes to the original prototypes and will be installing tomorrow. If everything checks out okay then I don't see why they can't go to market within a week or so.

We would like to keep it under $1,500 for the complete kit, we'll see how close we can stick to that.

Jeff

So on the Ford SD application this should only need an older D60 stock stub shaft correct? I don't need any extra strength, I just want to ditch the unit bearings. This truck only sees 4x4 a couple times a year. Any ideas on the cost of the DIY kit? I've got a bearing out on my truck and I need to redo the front asap, so do you want my credit card now or later :D

You'll also need locking hubs for whatever spline count you decide to use. You can reuse your rotor, u-joint and studs.

Price for the builder kit will be somewhere just over $1,000 if everything plays out as planned.

Jeff

We will also be checking to see what modifications we'll need to do for the 2nd gen Dodge trucks early next week. Worst case is a modification of the WMS on the hub to accommodate different backspacing and rotor hat depth. Everything else should be the same.

Jeff

Are you using a hammer wobble broach on your turret? We do parts using them but nothing beats the correct machine to do them. They have a trendency to tear lathes up.

Lar

Hmm been looking for one of these for my 2nd gen to save some money. Ill keep my eyes peeled waiting for this to release.

Lar

You mean like a rotary broach? Way too big of a diameter for that as far as I know.

Jeff what years will the kit fit? You mentioned 2nd gens later next week. Do you have an axle on hand already? If not I have one from a 94 if it is needed.

Brenton

One day my 02 will get these!

I have three, but thanks - Jeff

Just checking. I will be needing this before summer plus it never hurts to ask.

Will this kit be available for the 3rd gen Cummins as well('03-'09)?

Scott

Scott

That will be the first kit to be released.

Jeff

That will be the first kit to be released.

Jeff

Cool, thanks for the info. Have you thought about becoming a vendor on some of the diesel enthusiast sites to show off this product?

Scott

I'm a member on a few, but really we're just starting up the tow-rig line. We have made things in the past like twin cp3 kits, complete intake manifolds (not just the hat) where you need to machine the original intake off for porting, twin turbo kits, fire ring kits and more. Since we do most everything on CNC machines, we can go back and reproduce these items easily.

What I'm getting at is that you should see more of us in the short future in the diesel arena.

Awesome. I'll be purchasing one in the near future

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!! My 08 neeeeeds this done ASAP!!!

Put me on the list to buy soon as you kick them out! :smokin:

shoot me a pm about the builder kit for my 02 dodge dana 60 when they come out

It has already hit Diesel Truck Resource BB.

http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/dev/locking-hubs-1000-t260823.html?p=2668907&posted=1

Hopefully the Ford kit comes quickly behind the Dodge, because I'd rather not drop the cash on new unit bearings now. As soon as its released you can expect my order for most likely the full kit.

Are those wheel hubs the same as chev/dodge D60 or ford D60?

this is coming in perfect timing as i will be buying a kit soon. but now it looks like i'll be buying them from you. can't wait to hear about when these bad boys will be released. what kind of warranty will these have?

Are those wheel hubs the same as chev/dodge D60 or ford D60?

Same internally but they have a different flange placement and a relief cut for a tone ring.

So I am assuming we can use your hub on a stock Ford D50/60 spindle that has been re-drilled if we do not need ABS. Is this correct? As well as stock ford wheel bearings and seals? This is a sweet setup. I am pretty stoked about doing this lo buck. What is the OE application for the outer stub shaft? I understand the OE stuff would be 30 spline, but I could run them until I break them then step up to the 35 spline stuff. Thanks Murf

Yes, they will need to be re-drilled and tapped, but I'm worried that the back side of the spindle won't allow enough clearance for lateral movement of the axle. I would need to do more research on that point. The back side would also need to be machined to fit the bore of the BJ 60/AAM spindle opening. I think the best option would be to use our spindle but we can know some off for the ABS adapter.

The OE shaft would be anything Ford 30 spline, or aftermarket 35 spline Ford. They use all stock 60 Ford wheel bearings, seals, axle nuts and lockouts as stated.


Jeff

The warranty will be one year limited and lifetime against workmanship defect.

sounds great. thats just the same as other companies that have a kit for our rigs. i look forward to when your come on the market.

Can't wait, front end of my SD will be so happy.

i don't remember seeing it, but what all does this kit include? I assume it is everything needed to get rid of those shitty unit bearings and run re-packable bearings w/ manual hubs and what not.

i don't remember seeing it, but what all does this kit include? I assume it is everything needed to get rid of those shitty unit bearings and run re-packable bearings w/ manual hubs and what not.

The full kit includes 35 spline locking hubs, Aluminum conversion hub with studs, bearings and races, billet machined spindle w/ ABS provisions and spindle nuts / inner bearing, large D60 u-joint and 35 spline outer shafts.

Basically everything you need to fix it right.

The budget kit allows you to drop off the studs, axle nuts, hub bearings, u-joints, premium warn hubs and stub shafts in order to source them at the junk yard etc.

Jeff

sounds great. i guess i'll be ordering mine through you then once they come out.

just showed these to a guy at work, he should be calling you about a giant dodge cummins...

https://ballisticfabrication.3dcartstores.com/assets/images/axle/wheel1.jpg

https://ballisticfabrication.3dcartstores.com/assets/images/axle/wheel2.jpg

any idea on how far the hubs will stick out past the tire w/ stock backspacing or stock wheels? it doesn't really matter too much to me but i know most of the other kits all do, unless you buy the more expensive hubs.

Haven't put them on a stock tire/wheel yet, but that can be done today. I'll post more pics later.

Jeff

What about the dually spacer issue? I'm not in need of these yet but this is my plan when the bearings go out on the front.

Any plans on doing a kit for 2nd gen rams with the dana 44? Right now there is only one other guy doing this and he hasn't done anything with the 4 wheel abs trucks yet.

Your complete kit is just under $1800 before S&H

EMS and Solid axle complete kits are $1550 before S&H, I thought this kit was going to be less expensive then the competitors??? Is there something I am missing?

http://www.solidaxle.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=88&idcategory=17

Your product looks fantastic and well manufactured, but unless there is a difference in product materials/function you can convince me of I am willng to save a few hundred bones on a product that has been in production for a few years.
Thanks

Yes, our kit allows you to pick and choose what components you actually need. I know that alot of people have spare parts or can get them for cheap, we allow you to do so for under $1,000. Nobody else does that. Also, SOME cheaper kits use stock D60 hubs that have a tone ring added, and you have to put the rotor on the front of the hub with a .513" spacer, adding almost 3 inches to your overall track width. Put some standard backspaced wheels on those hubs and the tires barely sit under the vehicle... not to mention studs that are almost one inch shorter than stock. We build a complete billet machined hub that competes in price with those that don't.

Also, make sure the alternative kits include locking hubs and are 35 spline (stub shafts and locking hubs).

Jeff

Very cool guys!

Did I read that right, the hubs are aluminium?

If so any chance that the'll be produced in steel later. I don't trust they hold up due to the salty road winters around here. It's allready ruined a set of aluminium wheels in a matter of 2 years.

Ford 50/60 spindle will not get close to positioning the stub shaft right, would need redrilled (at least one hole will partially overlap) and the pilot OD turned as well. Yes I looked into this just a bit! Pretty much better with a new spindle.

Nice...My trucks not old enough yet to need it, but when the time comes..Ill come lookin to fix it right..This a good idea..

We won't be doing them from steel any time soon, the aluminum can be type II or even III anodized and will have better weather resistance than plated steel.

As far as mechanically not holding up, the locking hub we all use in our D30 / 44 and 60s are aluminum as well.

Any answer to the dually question?

Any answer to the dually question?

Once we get the single wheel guys lined out we'll look into it. We have plenty of axles here to work with for dual stuff.

Will they be out for the 2010 2500 ram ?

Will they be out for the 2010 2500 ram ?

Depends on what changes need to be made, if any.

Will they be out for the 2010 2500 ram ?

From what I understand they are the same, but we'll need to confirm.

Jeff

From what I understand they are the same, but we'll need to confirm.

Jeff

as far as i know they are the same dude.

the calipers/rotors are the same i know that for sure. i will check on the part numbers on the knuckles and unit bearings when i get back to work.

Thanks Justin

Jeff

Any awnswer to the 2nd gen 1/2ton guys?

Not quite yet -

Jeff

i hate to pester you w/ some many silly questions but i want to ensure that i am purchasing a kit w/ everything that i'll need and it won't leave me on the side of the road broken down as this is my DD. do you think there will be any issues w/ the weight of these trucks up front w/ the diesels and the heavy front bumpers that some of us have and the heavy towing that many of us do? i ask this because i've noticed that some other companies use nodular iron hubs. i'm not so worried about corrosion as i am strength.

thanks for your info in advanced.

These will fit factory wheels correct? I suppose they should because I can change mount my factory rims on a standard Dana 60.

Yes they will, Thanks - Jeff

will these be available in 8 on 6.5?


(I've got a van and Ford never changed the bolt pattern on the vans.)

They already are, let me know - Jeff

well I want a set if they fit the 10 dodge Need a prototype to work on haha Ill call you and order some goodies soon. Good to see a new brand of hubs to rock.

Justin was saying that they are the same, but can't guarantee it just yet.

Jeff

UPDATE:

We now have 2,500 miles on the hubs, and have pulled them apart multiple times to check wear.. So far so good!

- Jeff

as far as the fords are concerned, what will the wms to wms be?

I'd imagine it would be more than 69"

We're shooting for stock WMS for all vehicles. Thanks - Jeff

Anything yet for the fords?

As far as the fords is it possible to have a 8x6.5 hub in a 99 . F250. I currently have 30 spline warn hubs in it. I'd just need the stuff to swap to a free spin. If so any hope of hubs for the rear to change to 8x6.5?

The Ford kits will come in the 8 on 170 pattern. You could try to use the Dodge kit and use the older stearling hubs from pre 99 f250/f350. But the WMS spacing on the Dodge kit is different from the Ford kit.

Thank You

hey jeff i just checked the part numbers for an 2008 2500 and a 2010 2500 they are not the same part numbers on the rotors/calipers/unit bearings/knuckles

i dont know what is not the same,i wonder if ernie could bring a 2010 by the shop and see if it would work.

Okay, I appreciate the info. We'll probably get the 2nd gen and Ford kits going first, but it would be nice to have the only 4th gen kit on the market...

Would love to see some pics of your intake plenum! I am looking for someone to build me one now for my pulling truck, and i dont like most of the other options out there.

were getting close to when there are released. can't wait to see some feed back from the folks that put em to the test.

Would love to see some pics of your intake plenum! I am looking for someone to build me one now for my pulling truck, and i dont like most of the other options out there.

No problem, we're actually re-doing mine right now so I'll post pics once we're done with round two.

Jeff

Are you going to be at KOH displaying this? I was about to do a competitors kit, but the $1800 + cost for a dually kit is rediculous to me. I'd be interested in looking into yours if you come up with a dually kit, and it would be great to see in person at KOH.
Thanks

will the rotors just slide over the studs like factory or will you have to press the studs through the rotor into the hub like on my toyota? i'm assuming by the pic of the kit on the truck that they do just slide over..but i've got bitten in the ass a lot lately for just assuming something.

We will have the kit instelled on the shop 2500 ram, and we'll try to have the rest of the kit together by then.

The rotors do slide over the studs as assumed. Thanks

Jeff

Any chance on doing a cheaper complete kit w/ 30spline axles?

Probably not, we need to see how well these do by themselves before adding to the number of parts that we are required to stock.

Jeff

What outer shafts does this kit use? I'm interested in the spindles and hubs and sourcing the rest. I'm just wanting to use 30 spline outers.

Does this kit change the width of the axles like other companies kits do?...I hope they dont because my tires will hit the fenderwells if they do.

you mentioned coated hubs. what is the charge for this? looks like a real nice kit. what is the benefit of the aluminum hubs?

Same WMS as stock. Thanks -

No charge, they will all come coated once ready for sale.

Update: We have the kit on two vehicles, both of which have been HEAVILY tested. One truck pre-ran most of the desert section of KOH a few days before the race in a mega cab (that was fun)... tons of hill climbs at full-throttle, then proceeded to tow a 32ft camper home to AZ. The kit shows no signs of wear. We believe that these hubs / spindles are up to the task and will be going into final production shortly.

The aluminum hubs seem to help dissipate the brake heat better as well.

Thanks for everyone's interest -

Jeff

<<<<---Highly Interested..But Ill wait till my warranty is gone, I bet you'll see the demand for more orders start to spike as alot of these newer trucks start seeing higher milage and stock unit bearing hubs start failing...Id rather put the cash to something nice like these instead of more stock junk...
keep up the good work!

<----- warranty gone and very interested. thanks for product development. let us know when they are ready.

what is the latest update on these kits. Does anybody have them installed and running? This kit is only 150 cheaper then the dynatrack. Why should I risk it only to save $150. I was thinking the competition would get the full kit's price in the 1400 range not $1800!

Will you be selling just the hubs? If so how much? Cool product.

We've had them on a few trucks for a while. One in particular hauled a trailer to KOH, pulled out an 18 wheeler at KOH, and demolished some dunes and whoops while out there as well, just to pull the camp trailer back home. No issues at all so far.

Will you be selling just the hubs? If so how much? Cool product.

We can sell just the hub. Call for a quote.

We have begun final production on the Ford and Dodge kits and have started to collect stock on all components. Thanks for everyones patience while we have refined the product before release.

Jeff

Jeff, I am building my 01 Dodge D60 front for my Jeep right now. Will this fit, and will it bump my outers to 35 spline chromos? Can I get it with drive flanges/slugs vs the locking Warn hubs?

Thanks,
Lance-AZUndertakers

We are in the process of fitting them to an older Dana front end shortly, I'll let you know what we come up with. Regardless you can count on us supporting that axle sooner than later.

Jeff

Whats the stock status on these for the Dodge? I'm interested for my '05 2500 4x4. I'm getting some loud clicking at the front axle u-joints and they need replacing, but i'm considering this kit so all that stuff doesn't turn and wear out so fast.


Thanks,
RG

The kits should begin to ship in one week, both Ford and Dodge.

We're working on a 2nd gen dodge kit with hopes to release it at the same time as the other two, but at this point we'll probably have to finish that later in order to get some of the other kits shipping.

it seems like all of the other company's that have similar hub kits they use one kit for 00+ dodge rams .... i am hoping you will not need to change a whole lot for the late 2nd gen guys b/c my hubs and ball joints are shot on my 02 non cad dana 60

They will work 01+ currently

Sup with these Jeff? I think I have a hub going out on my 2nd gen dodge.. Undertakers discount? :smokin:

The 3rd gen dodge kits will start shipping next week, and from what I have researched they should work on the 2nd gen trucks down to 94 as well.

Ordered the kit for my '05 yesterday! Can't wait. :)

Thanks!

My dad has a 2003 3500 CTD dually, original wheel bearings with 170k miles on them. Does your kit work with duallies? If so, how much would this kit be for that truck with the stock style axle shafts?

Will these kits fit the Spidertrax knuckle? I know it uses the Ford F-450 unit bearing. I like the idea of being able to "Rebuild" the hubs not throw them away and spend $$$$ on new ones..

Got mine in! Very nice product! :smokin:I will post some pics in the next few weeks once I get the install going.

Thanks!
Ricky

i am looking at a kit for my 07 dodge 3500(single wheel), i only need 30 spline. what length stubs do i need to look for?
thanks
daniel

Whats the Status on these. I'm on my 3rd set of hubs in my 99 F250. Getting really bored of this bullshit..

We have shipped over 20 sets, still getting some good feedback and we have been able to make a few minor changes for the better. If you need a set they are ready to go now. I guess I have just been waiting to catch up on every other crazy thing we have going on before really trying to push these :)

Any idea when the 2nd gen kit will come out? or will the 3rd gen kit work on my 2000? Thanks

pm me a price and time frame please (complete kit 30spl).. I have an 06 2500single wheel that I'm doing ball joints and pinion bearing on next week. if I can delay it I'll do it all at once :)

If/when it works out good I'll have a solid 10 people chomping at the bit here.

thanks

awesome product, i wish it was possible to do a swap like this on IFS 2500HD chevy trucks.... i break wheel bearings like they are condoms on prom night.

They are working fine, we had a couple of small convenience issues that we've dialed in, but we're confident that it will be a great setup. After all, the very first prototype kit we made is still going strong on the shop ram.

Superduty and Dodge kits available now, right now we're just 2-3 days out until we can get more stub shafts delivered.

Jeff

Can you PM Me the Pricing? And what options are and how everything breaks down cost wise. What I can source for less etc...

Okay, I updated the website to show all of the options and pricing, let me know if I'm forgetting anything else.

Jeff

how long from the time the kit is ordered .... till it ships out the door ?

Still waiting on some stub shafts, but as soon as they come in they will ship 2-3 business days after the order is placed. This gives us time to accommodate custom orders ie press on tone rings and seat bearing races for those that want the complete kit.

Jeff

what ever happened to the video of the id spline hobbing?

Can I get a price on these for my 08' CTD?

what ever happened to the video of the id spline hobbing?

It's at minute 1:06 of the Ballistic commercial in my sig line.... not a whole lot of footage (about 3 seconds :) ) but you get the idea.

Jeff

So does this kit for an 05 dodge use chevy length 35 spline stubs or a ford stub length? Will be buying a set soon for my dodge. Glad to see you're building things like this.

anyone checking this post

Sorry, they use Ford stubs. Thanks - Jeff

I was thinking if a guy could use some dana 60 ford wheel hubs to save some $$? Plus I'd like to stay with the old iron tried and trued if I could. Even if they needed some machining to fit the rotors. Anyways are these a usuable thing with your kit or am I wasting my time thinking about this? My wheel hubs are from a 79' ford dana 60.

I have a 2002 3500 4x4 dodge dually, will your kit work on my truck?

Thanks.

Brian

We have not officially tested that body style, but from what we know it should work fine. We should have one in the shop for testing within a few months time.

That was our original plan, but it widens your track width 4 inches and you have to use rear rotors for fronts with a .550 aluminum spacer, giving a bad wear pattern on the pads. Then if you want to retain your ABS you have to machine your stock hubs to fit a tone ring (not a big deal but takes more value out of the project).

Not a good idea in my opinion.

Jeff

Ok, need a durability update. I am torn between the dynatrac kit and this one. I am on unit bearing number 6. I am not proud that I can change one of these things in about 10 minutes now lol

If anyone else can chime in we would be happy, but the Ballistic Mega cab has 25,000 miles on it with the same original hub setup, including a trip from Denver this weekend. If anything it has been proven as daily driver adequate.

Has anyone installed this kit on a Dodge yet? I'm going to be traveling a lot for work soon and would like to save a few $$$ in fuel. So the Dodge kit uses Ford stub shafts?

Thanks.

yes the dodge kit uses ford stubs

what year dodge are you trying to install this kit on ?

any luck on theese kits for the 10 Dodge?

There's a few options incase you would like to source your own parts or reuse things like studs or u-joints.

sorry for the stupid question, but how does this improve mpg, and wear when my manual locking hubs do just that. i get the servicable hub but not for the price. thanks for the clarification. i have an 02 f350 sd drw.

The MPG difference is seen in the Dodges. For you, having a Ford, the only real advantage would be the serviceable wheel hub assemblies.

That's Kyle playing with the new Canon Rebel Ti1 EOS I picked up the other day :)

Just finished up another batch of dodge and Ford hubs, keep posted for the upcoming releases of the Ford and Gen II Dodge kits.

Damn I need these. So if I ever need them in an emergency are they sitting on the shelf? What about the rest of the parts for a 3rd gen dodge?

We will either have them on shelf or be 1-2 days out, at least at this point. These do go rather quickly and we try to keep them in stock. We're compiling an instruction manual that will also show all the parts that come with each specific kit, including our newest kit, 2nd gen dodges.

I know I will be needing these in the future.
Maybe my next project

3rd gen dually yet?

I would need some dimensions from you as I have yet to see anyone local request them.

x2 on the 3rd gen dually

If you guys are talking 3rd gen Dodge dually why would the current set up not work? The dually just has a spacer bolted to the SRW hub.

Yes but the factory spacer can't be cut enough through the center to fit the big ford hub through...You must use Ford dually hubs from the late 80's through 1997...They are slightly wider but nothing significant...I ran into this with my EMS kit when I asked them if I could run a set of stock dually hubs on my 2500 dodge cummins truck

your talking about running the whole ford wheel hub

Well crap, thanks for the info.

What dimensions do you what? I have one sitting here on the bench?

Width is 3.75"
