J8 Brakes and free wheeling hub questions
We would all like some better options on our JK's like locking hubs with service-able front hubs which require 5 x 5.5 bolt pattern. The J8 Egipt Jeep has Dodge 1500 brakes with Dana axles, including a heavy tube front axle. Our stock front axle if upgraded to a Dana 44 still uses the same hubs brakes and knuckles I understand, however since changing wheels this summer anyway seems like a good time to invest in bigger brakes and down steam upgrade parts all at once.
Has there been any research on upgrading to the Dodge 1500 brakes/locking hubs?
Is there a Jeep part number to upgrade the rear brakes and axles to 5 x 5.5 bolt patern? (With brake sensors of course)
