35 spline upgrade

[JGheen]

Just wanted to share some pics with you guys of my newly installed 4x4 upgrade. Got the Dynatrac free-spin hub kit with the 35 inner shaft upgrade as well. Very nice kit and I can't wait to put it to the test as soon as the engine is completely back together. The kit wasn't hard to install at all aside from the POS driver side inner axle seal that had a housing that was .010" larger than the bore it sat in. Other than that it is very nice to have lock-out hubs and no differential spinning down the road. The adapters are the AA-4 adpaters that Arrowcraft makes and they have a Ford bolt pattern for the wheel. The hub bore on the adapters is almost 5" so that made for plently of room to fit comfortably over the lock-out hub housing. I should have bought the Alcoa wheels instead of the cheaper Eagle Alloys cuz the Alocas are hub centric with the 4.88" hub bore size and the Eagles are bolt centric with a hub bore of about 5.1" and you have to use shanked 5/8" lug nuts to center the wheel on the adapter. I would have much rather ran some Alcoas but I saved $200 buying the Eagles instead. I just hope with all that leverage out there I don't have cracking lug nut problems since the wheel is not designed like an Alcoa Classic.

Anyway, just a quick note, I was not at all happy with the terrible customer service Dynatrac had to offer with all the crap that I went through to get the parts for this kit but that is another story. Just make sure they have the parts in stock before you give them any money.
