Question Warn or Superwinch??

Okay, so I know at the very least I need to get new hubs. My question is what are the differences between Warn or Superwinch?? Is one better than the other? What about installation, is it relatively easy?

Thanks
Bill

I didn't have great luck with my Superwinch hubs. I ended up grenading one side, and went with Mile Markers. Good strong hub, probably is about the same as the warn though.

Okay, I bought the Warn, but they are the standards. Any problem with this? They say lifetime warranty. So if this is a problem, you have time to stop me as I wont be putting them in until tonight. Also, what about plugging the vacuum??

Thanks
Bill

Also, I am reading the directions (yes I actually read them before I run into a problem ) and it says I am going to need a conversion kit #32721. Is this true?? Have you guys used these??

Thanks
Bill

i have always thought warn was a little over priced. I have been after a winch. Worm drive is better than planetry, and I think I will go with a ramsey.

Well I installed the Warns tonight. It was a simple process. I didnt need the conversion kit. I plugged the vacuum hole on the back of the hub with a 1/8" brass pipe fitting, and plugged both of the rubber hoses just behind the tfitting with a bolt, and silicone, and ziptied up and out of the way. The hubs work great, and it solved my vibration problem and steering wheel kickback. Thanks for all the responses!
