Dodge Locking Hubs?
Is it possible to convert the modern Dodge cartrige bearing / central axle disconnect system to a hubs with lockouts sustem? Does anyone make conversions or would you have to swap out the entire axle?

Yeah... but the 3rd gen Dodge front axle has multiple attachment points that are not the same of Fords. Meanwhile, a new Dana 60 - modified to fit, would no doubt cost more that the $1700 Danatrac kit.
Any expirience with the kit?
Thanks

In a 2nd gen, its cheaper to swap in the 60, as it is $4500+ for the dynatrac kit.

Cost aside, it seems like a good improvement for that truck.
