I have a 95 Cherokee with a Dana 30 front axle. I keep blowing stock hubs and i would like to change the knuckles to 44 knuckles with locking hubs. Does anyone know if their are any companies out their that make a conversion?

try this but you will have to add spacers in the rear to take you from 5 on 4 1/2 to 5 on 5 1/2.

but you are going to pay close to $1500.00

Warn kit is 1300 bucks and the Mile Marker is about the same. The Reid knuckles are $260 each, plus spindles are $100+ each, rotors and hubs are $155 each, calipers and brackets $200+ each, outer stub shafts are about $150 a pair and locking hubs are $150 for a decent set. Plus brake pads, dust shields and other misc items. Like I said cheaper to swap out the axle. Doesn't make sense to put that kind of money into an axle that end the end is maxed out with 35s.

Not sure what that has to do with the topic but as long as they leave it in 2wd it'd be fine.
What exactly are you breaking/wearing out on yours?
