Warn Premiums.

Yah, think drive flanges are about the only thing stronger than warns.

Yea, the warn premiums are the strongest out there. I never managed to break one but did break an outer once and the hub still held. It was a 30 spline Moser and I upgraded to 35 after that and never broke a thing. My buddy snapped a Spicer 35 spline outer and his Warn hub was fine. I'm going to drive flanges on the buggy, they're the only thing stronger than the Warns but then again, it's a buggy. I never had a prob with the warns though. Sweet product.

i think warn premiums suck. unless theres something that make them better for the d60 than what they make for the 44.
if you dont want to run a drive flange,get factory spicer hubs. theyre way beefier than the warns.no cheesy plastic or aluminum parts :D

I have a q-trac case w/ part time kit installed so I dont think I can use the drive gears.Where do you get the dana spicer kind?I have found the old style mile marker selectro hubs.I have old 78 dodge 1 ton axles w/ 30 spline and no one can come up with a part number!!!!

the spicer style lockouts are going to be a junkyard or ebay item.
if you have dodge axles,does your front 60 have external lockouts)help on by 1/2 inch or bigger bolts) or are they internal(body is inside the splined hub,held in by clips)? this bit of info
will affect the answer. i dont know if you can find factory spicer lockouts for the external mount dodge axle. i think we all assumed that you have a gm or ford 60 with conventional,internal lockouts.
if you already have selectro lockouts and they work,i prolly wouldnt spend the $140+ on the warns. the selectros are kinda goofy and awkward lookin tongue.gif but theyre plenty strong.
my $.02 anyway smile.gif

cant help you with the part number,but while back i checked on it,with drivetrain direct,IIRC,and they could get them.
if you have some 8 bolt,30 spline drive plates youre not gonna use,id be happy to give you something for em smile.gif
