I have a 06 F250 6.0 4x4 Im thinking of swaping out the Auto Hubs for a set of manual hubs I know theres not really many options out there but Ive seen Rugged Ridge has shown on there website a set for the 05-07 superdutys I was wondering if anyone has tried them or has any pics of them installed. Also I was wondering if it would be possible to swap out the ford auto hubs to the ford manual hubs and yes they are available Im just not sure what is required to swap them over.

The web site says the hubs will fit DANA 70 axles?

 

Yep, 35 spline outers. A common upgrade in the offroading world (especially buggies and "one-ton" Jeeps. The Dana 70 was never offered in the front axles of consumer vehicles as far as I know, only commercial equipment/vehicles, as the 70 was apparently designed for brawn, not finesse, and as such it was pretty noisy. But the D60 center and inners with D70 outers is pretty common as long as you get the right hubs to go with the outers (stub axles as some call them).

 

So my question is will those hubs fit my truck and if not can I use the ford factory manual hubs.

 

Does anybody have any answers

 

Nice attitude.

How much more of an answer do you want? I explained where that D70 thing came from. Ask yourself: do you have a Dana 70 front axle or the upgraded outer stub axle shafts? If the answer is yes, they will fit, or if it's no, then they won't fit.

I would tell you to Google it if you don't know the answer so that you'll learn more about your truck and understand what people are referring to with it, but I'll just tell you that the answer is no. You don't have those. If you did, you'd know about it. I think your only option may be OEM.

 

Ford OEM are warn hubs. They are plenty beefy. The ones you posted do not work on D60 axle in stock form. Also. If you just cap the vac lines the stock esof hubs will be the same as manual lockers.

 

Sorry firekite I was just a little mixed up and just wanted to know if they would fit my stock truck now that I have re-read it your answer makes more sense.

 

An thank you everyone for your answers I just am a little frusterated right now because of the fact that I need a hub from my own doing, I was going to change the RF u-joint and in the process of trying to remove the lockout hub it came out in 3 pieces rather than 1 I was told just keep working it and it will come out.

 

Well...maybe now is the time to upgrade anyway and get what you really want? Call the folks at Randy's Ring & Pinion, explain your situation, and ask what they recommend. Report what they tell you here.

And before you call, go out there and look at the outer axle stub. Count the number of splines. They will be either 30 or 35. Let the folks at Randy's R&P know that info. They'll be able to tell you what you need.

PS If it's at all an option, look into the Yukon Hardcore Hubs. It doesn't get better than those.

 

right now im kinda tied up on funds and I can get a decent deal on stock ones so I think i might have to go that route for now but thanks for all you help and information. But I will look into the options you have presented.

 

Well make sure you come back after you find out what's up and make a decision and let us know what's what.
