I pulled this off there website.. this is about there other kits, but I'm guess it's the same deal
In our continued pursuit of excellence, Solid Axle Industries releases a new line of fixed spindle conversion kits under the name SpynTec. When we set out to design the final word in unit bearing replacement, we first wanted to understand the weaknesses of the original equipment found in your vehicle. Automobile manufacturers have taken away your ability to maintain your 4x4 by moving to the planned obsolesence of the unitized bearing front end. When the OEM bearings fail, you and your truck are literally stranded until you can replace them, or incur the high cost of towing to your local dealer.

SpynTec kits start with new premium chromolly hub and spindle forgings. Your ABS functions are retained with the combination of a gear cut tone ring that is integral to
the design of the hub, as well as our spindle design that encompasses the factory ABS sensor mount and sealing surfaces. When installed, your ABS system is now completely
sealed from the harshest on and off highway environments. All SpynTec kits utilize such names as Timken, SKF, Chicago Rawhide, Warn and Spicer.

Whether you rely on your vehicle for work or play, you can’t afford to be sitting still due to an unfortunate bearing failure. Solid Axle industries understands this and has answered with the SpynTec line of unit bearing conversion kits.

Eddie,

I'm curious how this setup will affect ESP? And great coverage so far... hey, doesn't that Jeep in the SOLID ad look like someone's Jeep we all know????

SOLID had integrated the ESP into their hub kit and it should not effect it at all. But, I will be doing a complete video interview with them today so they can explain everything themselves.
