Hubs breaking
I have a 2000 dodge 1500 4x4 it's got 5" suspension lift and 3" body I'm running 37x12.5r20 I'm having problems with the hub assembly keeps breaking I've had to change driver side 5 times and passenger side 3 times any ideas on what could cause this....ps out of alignment pretty bad

its not the tires (not completely) or size of the tires, i run 37's as well and run my truck hard off road (jumping and hitting whoops at speed). my hubs hold up just fine. Problem is probably the offset/backspacing of your wheels. Too little backspacing (making the wheels stick out further then stock) is much harder on the hubs (or unit bearings) then larger tires. Google scrub radius to learn what is most likely killing your wheel bearings.
Like mentioned above, use only Timken bearings. Or if you can find them SKF makes good bearing too.
