EMS OFFROAD manual hub conversion

[Hercules130]

I just spoke to EMS OFFROAD on the phone inquiring about there hub kit. You can check out what it is at there web site. They are currently waiting on the hub (i think) which is being imported from Australia. It is supposed to be a full billet piece. what i am excited about is it is going to be considerably less than the Dynatrac kit, and i can drive to there shop which is just north of Harrisburgh.

Hopefully EMS did there homework and make the hub so it will fit the 3rd gen duallys,,,Because Dynatracs kit would not fit my dually when I was there to put it on :-{}

Does that kit require custom brake rotors?

How does the front axle on the dual wheel trucks differ from the front on the single axle trucks? Just curious. JH

He said the for the dually application and the SRW application there will be different part numbers, so no spacer is needed. It will resuse the stock rotor, but on the dually he said it will be mounted a little differently, i couldn't picture it as i have never seen a dually front end let alone looked at mine.

On a dually, the rims are off set. So the front hubs extends about 4 inches further out than the SRW.

I LIKE! I have always wanted lock out hubs on the front, but wasn't gonna pay Dynatrac's outrageous price. $850 vs $600/700 for sealed bearings will get my vote any day. Honestly I hate my Posi-Lok anyways having to fool with it and roll the truck to get it to engage.



Wonder what the difference is in the "Budget Pack" that differs $200 in price? Guess I'll be making a phone call tomorrow as they don't list a Email addy that I see?

Its all the same except for dually wheel adapter ,the Dynatrac hub wouldnt fit thru the dually wheel adapter,,other than that its all the same...

Erick is a great guy I know him from the rock krawling competitions. I am sure his product will be what he say's it is and he is a very knowledgable and friendly person. Glad he is building stuff for our truck's.

I believe the heavy duty kit has the 35 spline axles and the budget kit does not.
