Did you get the DynaLoc hubs or Warn Hubs kit?

There are a few free spin kit manufacturers , not sure which is better, if any.... Why did you pick the DynaTrac ? You got any any knowledge of the other kits?

I think I was looking at getting the Dynatrac, cant remember my research or why though

My friend went with the Dynaloc hubs. He went with them because they stick out less far than the warn hubs do, and he liked the looks of them.

When I eventually buy a kit for my Dodge I'm going with whomever uses the shortest bearing hub and then put some Spicer locking hubs on it.

There's a recipe of Ford parts to convert a 2nd gen Dodge axle to have locking hubs.

Ive been thinking about doing a front locking hub kit.

My '99 CTD 4x4 dana 60 has the sliding collar disconect

What the hell happened to that front carrier?
Center axle disconnect came back in 2013/14. Still spins the knuckle u joints 24/7 but it’s an improvement.
But honestly, if you look at it objectively, installing locking hubs, no matter how you slice it, has negative ROI unless maybe you’re gonna run em 250k miles or more.
Considering the unit bearings last 150-200k mi on average, even if you claim .5mpg gain, which is a bit optimistic, you’re not breaking even for a long time. And you get to become an expert at hub disassembly and packing bearings, regularly.
