do I need a conversion kit??

04 f-350 Im going to switch over to the manual locking hubs. I read a write up on here where Mile marker hubs were used, and basically just popped right on in. here is the link written by BFR250SD-Super Duty Automatic to Manual Hub Conversion.doc

When I search vendors to purchase the hubs, they state that I need a conversion kit, along with the hubs. Im a bit confused and looking for some input....thanx...

You don't need a conversion kit. Don't buy the Superwinches.

I have a related question-I have a 2002 F-350 DRW w/a dump bed. I'm thinking about switching over to manual hubs but both Mile Marker and Warn say these parts don't work with a dually. What gives? Do I need a conversion kit? or am I just looking up the wrong part #.

Welcome to FTE, I didn't think there was a difference. Some one else will chime in that owns one.
