Screamin Lizard just finished up a conversion on a D44 Mopar axle we added to a Sahara.

Stock:





Replacement:





And done - wheel mounted without tire to check clearances:

 

Looks great! When will it hit the shelves?

 

Yes, it does change the bolt pattern to 5 on 5.5". We are changing the rear axle as well, with a Currie Rock Jock dana 60.

 

We changed the front axle from the Dana 30 to the Dana 44 w/ locker. The Spin Tecks allow you to disconnect the wheels from the front axles, improving gas mileage, less wear on the drive train, and the most important they are stronger than the stock unit bearing!

 

And I think the most important question......How much? I know the front D44 Mopar is $1500 but what about the rest?

 

The bearing setup is serviceable and stronger than OEM.
It also becomes the weak point in the axle. This is not all bad. I said weak point, not weak. In other words, the hub will break before something on the axle or in the differential. This makes it easier to fix or just keep going until you can fix it. Pull out the internals, slap in new internals. This was quite normal years ago when pretty near all 4wd's had locking hubs.
A few months ago the hubs were about $1500 for both.

 

Good work. Any pics of the D60 change-over?

 

Look for the D60 install in another thread tonight or tomorrow morning.

 

If your going 60's you'll have to go 5x5.5 anyhow..

Solid's making adapter plate for the tire carrier to go with the kit.

I ended up selling my 5x5 rims, and buying a set of 5x5.5. I didnt have that much in the rims after I sold mine.I swapped in superior shafts in my 44. So I'm 5x5.5 all around now..
