it doesnt show that kit online. Maybe its more?
Thanks. I had been to that site, and there was no mention of rear axles.
So, I called. The guy verified the kit ($1995.00) includes front stubs, front inner shafts, rear shafts, and an adaptor for the spare tire mount.

On any lockout hub you need to service it. On my Tj with a d60 front I took the lockout apart atleast 4 times a year to grease the bearing and make sure everything was tight.

I would have to ask:
What brand bearings?
What kind of grease was packed in the bearings?
What was the preload on the bearings?
What sort of damage do they have?

I have had lock-out hubs in the past that lasted forever.

I repacked my Warn hub bearings within a week after any mudbog or water type wheelin. And at least once every 6mos, whether I needed to or not. Only replaced one set of bearings in the 7yrs I owned it and that was the first set that was in it when I got it and hadn't been serviced properly.

Make sure you don't over-tighten the spindle nut.
