Solid Axle Hub conversion at sema- Pictures added
I heard a rumor that Solid Axle Industries will be displaying the SpynTec hub conversion at Sema and it'll be release sometime in january.
Just my thoughts on this.
I suppose the benefits of this are:
1. A lot less wear and tear on the front diff, front drive shaft and front output shaft bearings on the X case............... But why should most of us care with a LIFETIME warranty on all these parts??????
2. Better gas mileage. . ....BUT I will almost guarantee that if you do this conversion and a U-joint, outer axle shaft bearing or carrier bearing goes bad that Chrysler will not cover it under the lifetime warranty because of the conversionwith non Mopar parts.
3. If you bust a front end U-joint you can go back to TRUE 2wd and limp home.
I would really like to do this conversion once it is available BUT I am not gonna do jack S#!t to my JK that is gonna void the LIFETIME warranty.

If your built up enough, you wont have a warranty left anyhow..
Hell they wont even cover parts on the 3year 36,000 mile. with what mild modifications I've done to mine.
I'm going to look into this as well. I still have slight driveline vibs from the front shaft at highway speeds, this would solve my problems..
