Well, this EMS is starting to sound like a pretty solid kit. Maybe they have made some small changes since they started out. But, you always get what you pay for IMO. Now, I just need to get the money... HMMM

 

My friends at SolidAxle are coming out with a conversion as well.

Call them and talk about it. Ive been running SoliddAxle stuff in my Jeep for years and love it. Their customer service is top notch.

That's a nice looking unit. I like how the abs tone ring and sensor is sealed from the elements like they are on the factory hubs. It's like that on EMS too but not Dynatracs. I didn't see any price.

 

Looks expensive! Any more and a complete axle swap might cost less!

The solid axle kit starts at $1,900 dollars. (at least that was what I was told when I contacted them a couple of months ago) They have a lot of the work done for you like the Dynatrac kit. I like my EMS kit now it is installed, I just think that for a few pennies more, they could offer the bearing races installed and make sure that their stub shafts are to spec before they go out the door.

 

I double checked prices...

Ford 99-04 $1859
Dodge 00-04 $1859
Dodge 94-99 $1999 (includes long side shaft and disconnect block off)



Ive never had a single issue with SolidAlxe, I run one of their custom made HP60 housings in my Jeep, and their name does say it all.

Does the Solid Axel kit stick out as far as the EMS and Dynatrac?

 

Im sure it does.

When that time comes for my Dodge, Ill be running Solids' for sure.

 

I kind of like the hub sticking out. Looks like a real Heavy Duty again.

 

I just took a look on the Solid site, and these are impressive units... Wish I had known about these kits mack in December when I had to have all my ball jounts and 1 hub assemply replaced.

My other motive is to get 2 wheel low capability. I pull a 7 ton trailer and would love to have that extra low end grunt to get this thing rolling when I am stopped on a hill. Out of all the kits, I lik ethe Solid kit the best...

 

I like the Solid Axle too, they are the most expensive kit though. They also seem to do the most sub-assembly for you. I think they should all do some of the assembly, they're the experts right!

 

Here's my Dynatrac setup. I love it, but the hood ornament did not come in the kit.

25k miles on ems kit, still flawless

 

I drove 1,400 miles from MN to NC and the kit seemed to help reduce drag. I was a little worried before I started the trip on if the hub would keep the bearings in place. I have had old Dana's come loose before and the last thing I needed was the bearings letting loose through the Blue Ridge mountains! No problems, as a matter of fact, I checked the temp of the outer hubs periodically, (with my hand), and it was warm but not hot. My guess is that the bearings are fine.

 

one year and 16,000 miles on my dyna-trac set up- no problems. set up works flawlessly!
