Parts porn. Our Spyntec hub conversion with SSBC calipers & rotors.

Quigley tear down! My paint guy asked me "Whats wrong with this van? It feels like you're driving in 100mph side winds all the time" Looking forward to the transformation. low mileage 7.3 SMB, going to be a keeper!

Ambo outside and 98% done. Love the white wheels, they were hiding under the ugly chrome covers. This rig has a 4" lift on 255/85's. Stage 2 D60, OBA, full 6.0 treatment.

Chris can you educate on the Spyntec hub conversion? Cost, advantages, etc?

Sure. Elimination of the unit bearings is the #1 advantage. Converts the axle to the traditional Dana 60 serviceable wheel bearings. The conversion also adds 35 spline stub shafts and locking hubs. It can be done with or without the brake upgrade, still uses a 16" or larger wheel with the stock bolt pattern. Price for the kit is $1550 plus shipping (UPS) Super nice parts, very very happy with them.

Ok so serviceable bearings like the RSC upgrade
Price for Spyntec with SSBC calipers/pads/rotors? They still working out well?

 

[ujoint]

$2860 for all of it.

Chris did you get my latest PMs about the springs and stuff?

Yep, I'm on it. Getting a new set made.

 

[tgreening]

Awww ****e! I hope to hell they havent started yet. I think I ucked up and measured wrong. That 3" I measured at the rear where I was jacking. I think I should have measured at the wheel well and I'm guessing there will be a difference.

 

[ujoint]

As long as you measure the same place before and after you're good. Let me know! It will be a few weeks before they actually start building.

 

[tgreening]

Re-measured today and that 3" will stand. Actually 3" on drivers side and pushing 4" on passenger, which I don't quite get.
