Can anyone post a picture of the solid axle hub set up thru the factory hubcap? I have a 04.5 2500 with aluminum wheels. I just about ready to spend the money. Thanks, Bill

 

levigarrett76 and I both posted pics with the hubs sticking out of the stock hub caps. the Solid Axles will be very similar.

 

Thanks, went with the Dynatrac Stage 1. They sure look fine and don't stick out too far. Should have been a option from the factory. 04.5 2500

 

I've got EMS, on my truck they do stick out, But from the driver seat I can't see them and I have peace of mind. My 06 with 31,000 miles Dealer had to replace the whole front end housing, ( ring and pinon bearing went out ) and they replace everything ( Thats a High dollar fix ) for everthing else there is VISA, maybe picked up 2 mpg

 

Here's my Dynatrac setup. I love it.

UnrulyNFS has recently put a set of the Solid Axle hubs on his. I think he really likes them.

 

If they came from the factory, we wouldn't be as cool!

 

What has happened to Solid Axles web site I can't acess it.

Solid Axle is out of production with their front hubs. I tried to order a kit through Poly Performance about a month ago, and they said it was discontinued.

It looks like the choices are down to EMS and Dynatrac...

Who has installed the dynatrac with the dynalock hubs instead of the warns? How do you like them, worth the $370 to upgrade when purchasing?

 

Guess I don't need to have any reservations about reproducing this kit for a couple of friends.

 

i just installed my dynatrac kit this weekend. it was about 3-4 hours per side and really quite easy if you have worked on 4x4 manual hub front ends before and solid axle trucks. i have not cut the holes in my center caps yet, so that i can slide them on. what size hole saw are people using? the wheel studs seem to stick out awfully far for the center cap to not hit the center caps before bottoming out on the rim. is this normal?

thanks

 

I did and like them. Can I justify the expense? Probably not, but who said anything about justification?

 

Can't remember the center hole size but you have to sand them out with a drum sander the final bit to get them just right. The studs do stick out too far to work easily. It's a little complicated but you have to remove the metal ring on the back of the caps with the clips on it. Then remount it with very short screws into holes that are already there. It makes the setup clear the long studs and snap right on after you remove about 1 1/8" from the cap.

See my picture of them mounted above and, if you want, I'll post some pix of what I did. Once done they look stock and mount just right.
