TeraFlex Install: Full Float/Locking Hub Conversion Kit 

not 100% professional. all this new gear including new rotors yet he put old pads on those new rotors... if your spending that much on this but are too cheap to put new pads in the end... thats not professional. if i did this for a customer they would be back real quick.

Edutainment...hahah thanks Dennis

I would love to see something for the Jeep Liberty. There is such a small amount of lift support and a true rear four link conversion would be amazing to see.

BadPenny Locker uh...dynatrac PR60

ALL solid axle fronts are full-float. This just details the install of locking hubs, to get away from the unit-bearing/full-time engagement setup

Thanks, we have reprimanded Dennis for not using new pads. It will not happen again 😂.

TeraFlexSuspensions I didn’t know if the reprimand was necessary after all it’s a 4x4. In my earlier days when I was more of a hard core wheeler I used to do a lot of sandy water crossings. If I had replaced my brakes every time I took things apart to clean all the sand and dirt out of my brakes I would have spent a fortune. That was the whole reason for taking things apart was to get more life out of the brakes. Learned that lesson the hard way. Lol

@@ntaft0904 Haha, he's use to it. We hear that, always love a good wash down.

Super mall crawler

I think the guy said this one already had the big rotors on it, so it isn't a new rotor.

@@drumhed Yes he did, but then they go on to install new big rotors that came in the kit.

@@drumhed Went from 5 lug to 8 lug. They better be new rotors. lol

Saving money. It's a Jeep thing, so...

Great way to bring back that annoying squeak he just said you'd be glad you got rid of.

🤣

I say the same thing when jeep owners complain of "death wobble" "Like yo, if you gotta take it into a shop to diagnose and tighten a loose track bar...jeeps probably aren't for you."

Good question! Probably helps to keep the cost down.

Makes money for aftermarket companies. 😁

it secures the press fit piece that is installed inside the axle

Good for marketing 😁😁

Polyperformance has a kit for RCVs

We agree, which is why we have a kit in the works.

@@teraflexsuspensions I’ll be keeping my eyes open

There are 2 forces on the axle shafts and carrier with a semi float, a load from the weight of the vehicle, and load from rotational force. By supporting the shaft with 2 bearings on a spindle, you are eliminating the forces from the weight of the vehicle. Now the only force on the shaft and carrier is rotational force. Huge increase.

Yup, as long as the spline counts match and the tubing diameters match. The Spindle has a Outer diameter of ~2.64 for a slip fit. Double check with Dynatrac for tube ID.

That's what I wanted to know!! I checked with engineering explaining that I had needs ( they didn't seem impressed); I want to run 35 spline shafts in my new SEMA build. They are going to try to make it happen, its just a matter of cutting down some shafts. Right now we only have them for 70 wide axles... Will advise Dennis

+TeraFlexSuspensions thanks brother, I be Rollin an 80, but every built 44 I do has 35 spline shafts

Sorry Craig we do not.

Unfortunately you can't fit a wheel hub this diameter into a stock 5X5 bolt pattern on a JK, there just isn't room. You have to go to a wider 8x6.5 to fit all components. Any yes, usually one would either buy both front and rear conversions. If swapping an axle to a 60, that comes stock with 8x6.5, some choose to add a conversion kit to their other axle instead of swapping both at the same time. Tons of options out there.

No, it will stay the same.

Standard braking systems use 70-80% of their braking in the front and 20-30% in the rear. To achieve even braking, we were able to get that by increasing the diameter and surface area on the rotor. Overpowering the rear brakes will spell disaster.

Old pads won't properly seat to new rotors, resulting in blue hard spots and brake pulse. You're buying an expensive upgrade for your ride, why cheap out on what could easily become a safety issue? Pads are dirt cheap. Change 'em out!

Yes. Imagine a fun weekend of dune running or muddin, and on the way home your axle end starts to walk out. By the time you notice it the bearing hole in the tube is wallowed out and your next paycheck is blown. Secure the spindle into the axle tube!

Sorry we do not offer that option.

neva mind better off getting a set of one ton axles and fitting it in a Cherokee.

Unfortunately these kits are only designed for the JK 30's/44's.

@@teraflexsuspensions Yah, I understand, I get laughed at for the amount of money and time I have put into my L.P. 30, even with this series having a long history of breakage, I lean to the drivers heavy foot, and not knowing when to quit and simply winch... Yes, it is still risky no matter what ,and also, old, and as I understand it to be, nobody is installing the L.P. 30's on anything to even make it worth your efforts to even research this... I understand, I stil like using the products I do have or have run in the past on other rigs.. Do you have any front lock-out kits for L.P.30's? or something I can piece together? Fuel Economy!!! LOL Thank you, Dru

@@drubradley8821 Unfortunately we don't make anything like that either. Sounds like a custom build for sure. Good luck with your creation.

Greasable u joints are a little weaker, that’s why these kits usually come with normal joints.

Unfortunately we don't offer a manual locking setup for the rear.

Great question... 1. Wheel bearing load is spread out = no more unit bearing failures. 2. Increased fuel mileage. We are no longer turning axles, gears, and drive shafts. 3. Which brings me to the joys of no longer having to worry about front driveline failure at freeway speeds.

That, little buddy, is a Great question. When we were looking a doing the conversion, it was necessary to go from a 5 0n 5 bolt pattern to a 5 on 5.5 pattern. No way around it, you were going to need to buy new wheels. If you are buying wheels anyway why not buy 8 on 6.5 and gain all the strength advantages. The 8 lug also allowed us to use off the shelf 1 ton wheel bearings etc. Much stronger alternative.. Dennis

We recommend the total backspacing be 4.5" or less. So a backspacing of 4.5" and 0 offset of a negative offset.

Currently I am running 5.75 back spacing with +18mm offset using Teraflex big brake kit on stock axles with 35” tires and 3.5” lift and it clears perfectly and I am ordering Tera 44/60 with full float with stock width axles you think 5.75 back spacing will work with +18 mm offset exactly same what I am using ? I am afraid 4.5 backspacing will make tired stick out of fender flares ?

5.75 backspacing plus another ~.70 inches is the wrong direction. You will end up around 6.45". You need to be less than 4.5" to properly clear your steering components/frame, and recenter your Center of Gravity. Unfortunately that combo will not work.

No it's high temp synthetic brake grease. You would be surprised how much that grease helps with annoying brake squeaks/rattles Dennis

No, this JK setup will not work on a JL currently.

why would it affect a locker? the shafts are still acting the same as they did before. the only difference now is that the weight of the jeep is no longer on the axle shaft directly, instead it is on that new spindle that was welded in the rear, while the rotational force is still on the shafts.

Branden Ludski fake news

Give our team a call, 801-713-3314.

Yes with a price tag of about 1599. They have to be custom made, lead time is 4-6 weeks. Guess how I know....

Kumar Rangerboy Keeps the spindle from rotating and loosening up the locknut, as well as coming out of the tube.

Listen to your inner bro. Dont forget to record your first drive after

Less than 3k gets you this set up if you install yourself, so it depends on the costs of the Dana 60 to get it ready for use, also the extra weight of the 60 may not be desired.

Cory Glenn Dennis woods

This is to create a hole for a plug weld to hold the spindle in the housing better once pressed in.

Great question! You can purchase our parts direct through us over the phone or off our website; or through any of our dealers or vendors.

WTF

Some people dont want extra weight or lower pumpkin for ground clearance. This is most cost effective for under 40in tires

Yes, we have them in the works for down the road.

Yes, that's what I'm going to use on my current Jeep build Dennis
