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.

This brought back memories of my old 1978 full time 4x4 Chevy Silverado. After hunting trips where I ended up crossing river crossing I would take the front hubs off and repack the bearings. The technology here is not new, I would go through the same steps here. Remember that was in 1978.

Excellent video. It makes me wish I had a Jeep again.

I dont even have a jeep and this video makes me want these. This is such a well done install video.

With excellent how-to like this I will buy more parts!

Great video! Helped a lot with the install.

That is a nice looking kit. I like it.

I love the way the guy/mechanic?/butcher wailed on the new uni joints with a hammer when he could have/ should have used the vice to press them in, I've seen guys crack the cups using a hammer to get them in

Because of these kinds of videos I see no reason to buy another brand for my jeep upgrades. Good work.

I use the vice and a socket to press the caps back in, instead of a hammer. Nice and easy, and make sure it goes on smooth.

Ok TeraFlex, stop making me add more stuff to my ever growing "to get" list...

Looks like another great product and very easy to install! I wish they had a 5 lug hub version I would rather not have to get a new set of wheels but it’s a good excuse to try some internal beadlock hummer wheels!

Best install videos out there...nicely done teraflex!

Not a troll, serious question... I have been looking for details on a front axel that has a full float setup and surprise of surprises, I am not finding a lot about them. Your video is the one I found, so thanks for sharing...

This was a well put together video and excellent job on narration. I was thinking the same thing about the brake pads when I saw the old ones go back on. I too wondered about the convertion to the 8 lug wheels. I guess depending on the utilisation of your jeep the justification for more strength can be made. I really don't see that the wheel lugs as a common fail point for most. I would be interested in the conversion to locking hubs and bigger brakes. Anyway like I said though this was a very well put together how to video. One of the best I have seen.

Toyota LandCruiser 70 series need some of this kind of love! Front CVs are a particular weakness.

I used to do that that's old-fashioned way for floating hub just have a bottle of high-quality gear lube and filled the hubs and then slide the last bearing in i turn the hubs and no need for packing the bearings make sure you get your preload on the bearings right over tight not good and loose not good

Hello, Do you make a kit for the TJ Wrangler as well ?

Dennis and Teraflex I just installed the full floater kit and followed your directions exactly and backed up the spindle nut as per instructions. The wheels spins freely however my first drive in a hot day the front hubs were really hot. Is that normal will the bearings will settle down or should I do something

I am not a mechanic so please be patient if this is a silly question.. With a full float axle and the jeep in 4 x4 with the axles UNLOCKED does this mean they will spin independently of the transfer case even if engaged.

Are you going g to make one for the jl? This would be a better option over the cad it comes with stock. And RCv axles

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.

@robertpoet1665

5 жыл бұрын

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!

I'd love to have free wheeling hubs on my JK, but why did they choose to change up the 6 lug set-up? This means that unless you do the rear as well, you will be running two different lug-bolt/pattern wheels and can't rotate your tires. Furthermore, you are going to have to buy at least two new wheels even if you only do the front. This doesn't make sense.

@teraflexsuspensions

4 жыл бұрын

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.

@teraflexsuspensions

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.

Am I missing something? Why are you drilling holes in the rear axle, only to weld them back up?

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.
