So I am getting ready to regear the front (already have a ecgs ford 8.8 ready to install) have the gears (4:56) but my unit bearings are shot and am looking to do the manual hub conversion. I cannot seem to find a kit with the super 30 option. Does anyone know if this exists? I am running 32's now but soon to be 33 12.50's. I was wanting to go a little stronger, but will live with the chromos if I have to. I can always truss later! Was hoping there was a chromo super 30 manual conversion available (I would use the ox locker as a cariier) Also, I know they say recomended max tire size is 33, but has anyone done this with 35's? I am not sure if I would ever go that big, but am weighing all the scenerios on this type of investment. I have little to no mechanical ability so the 44 swap is sort of out of the question (anticipating the replies)TIA

I'm not sure about super 30's. Warn offers 2 versions of it's manual hubs. I think they only warranty the product up to 32 or 33's. There are a number of cats running them with 35's. One guy has been for years and that's Eric. His URL is http://www.ericsxj.com/.
I've been advised not to bother with them. You'll probably have to rebuild them more frequently.
My thoughts are that it's argumentative whether the cost to benefit ratio is worth it. They're certainly not cheap price wise. But I like the concept of them being serviceable. Which makes way more sense.
If all else fails. Call Warn and ask. Not sure if this info is accurate. But someone told me about a year ago that Warn sold the patent to there hubs. But that came from a yoyo at 4Wheel Parts.
