I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 5.9L 4x4. I've had an issue with my front hubs not being strong enough. I need to know if there is a strong aftermarket hub that will handle a 37 13.50 tire, that doesn't cost a whole lot. I know the best thing to do would to get some Dana 60s but I deffinitly don't have the money to get them. Someone please help me out! Comments and ideas would be appreciated

 

No such thing, get a good one that has a good warranty and get used to changing them out. There are part time kits out there but they cost over $700, they will handle the 37's fine.

 

Have you ever had a problem with your hubs?

 

Yep I change them out once a year. I had plans on going to Dana 60 front and Dana 70 rear, but by the time you add new rims, new tires, gears and the lockers to go in them it was over $3000. I have found a way to do the part time conversion for under $600 but that will wait until spring.

Edit: I carry a spare unit bearing and the tools to change it out in the truck.

 

Yeah I have all my tools in the truck at all times just in case something happens. Where do you get your hubs?

 

Napa, cheapest I can get with a one year warranty ($83 CDN), just before the warranty runs out they get changed out. My parts guys know every fall I will be in to get them swapped out for new ones. I have it down to a 45 min job per side. I have tried much more $$$ ones and it makes no difference at all.

 

Last one I bought was 130 at auto zone. I appreciate the help man

 

Was not much of any help but your welcome. Are you interested in the part time conversion kit? Ok let's see this big truck on 37's we love truck pix here

 

What exactly is it? I don't understand the "part time". It's only on 35s right now I'm planning on buying the toyo open country 37s sometime soon. But I don't have a pic now it's dark out can't get one till the morning

 

This is just a example of what I am talking about.
