Has anyone done a free spin hub conversion and kept the stock wheels? If so what do you do about the center cap and the locking hub?

I haven't done it, but have noticed most cut the center area out of their centers, and they fit over the hubs .

I wander what it looks like? Wish I had some pics. i guess if it was done carefully it would look good.

I have done the Spyntec conversion on my 05 2500. The kit was awesome its a sweet set up that only takes about and afternoon to do. I highly recomend it, i picked up 2mpg and lost some driveline vibrations.

I tried to post pictures of my hubs but im not good with this computer thing. When you drill the hole through the factory centercap use a 4 1/2in hole saw and use it in reverse that way the hole saw does not rip the crome film off of your centercap.

I have done it and yes, the Waren hubs do stick out beyond the stock wheel cap about 1.25 inches. There are plenty of picks if you do a search. It kind of bothered me for a while. I was afraid of knocking off fire plugs and such. Actually a tall curb could mess you up with stock wheels and tires. The benefits of the hubs far outweigh the sticking out issue and now I think they look cool as most 4x4's have no hubs. I catch people in other 4x4's looking at them going down the road. If you get aftermarket wheels 10inches wide or larger tires you won't notice them. I used a Dremel tool to make the hole and it worked just fine. All the claims people make about the hubs I found to be true. If you plan on keeping the truck a long time and are on the highway more that in 4x4 it's a go on them. I noticed a reduction in noise and vibes, but I have Michelin MS2's and with a big noisy tire it might not be noticeable.

I agree with the above post. I read in diesel power that there is 112lbs of parts that are not turning when the hubs are released, that has to make a difference. I must say that I have not recieved the 2mpg that a previous poster says he recieved but maybe I don't check it that close. I used a hole saw that was just undersized and finishe it of with a sanding drum on a drill press to make the hubcap fit.

I have the Spyntec hubs on mine and I used a 4" hole saw. A 4 1/2" might give a little more space around the hubs but a 4" will work. I did it in a drill press and it came out perfect.
