Topic: stupid hub vocab sky widening kit question now there is a pic

[robrub00]

here is a pic.  I just bought a  sky widening kit used.  Im trying to see what I need the guy sold me the kit put together  with calipers and rotors and brake lines.  no manual locking hubd.  on skys install instructions it says i need ifs hubs. are they talking about the locking hubs circled in yellow or the part circled in red is that the hubs they are talking about.  Do i need to buy ifs locking hubs is what I want to know of do I use my solid axle ones?  i would assume the solid axle ones.  im just confused by what they mean about hub!  the part with the lug nuts???

wow your quick I just posted the pic right after I started the thread

[IronClad]

you use the IFS wheel hub.  what you circled in red

[jimbo74]

ok, it defiantely says ifs hubs, i dotn think you can use the solid axle hubs


Parts you will need to supply:
2 IFS Toyota wheel hubs

What this spacer does  is allow you to run IFS wheel hubs on a strait axle front end. IFS wheel hubs wheel flanges are offset further to allow the front ends of these trucks to match up to the rear, which is 58 inch's wide.

ok cool that came with the used kit  bought .  so I use the solid axle manual locking hubs right.  wow what a quick responce.  thanks crawler community

[robrub00 [OP]]

ok .  where Im confused in the fact that is says I need ifs hubs,  but I didnt know if ithey mean the manual locking hubs circled in yellow or the hubs  circled in red.  I believe I use the red part from an ifs with the manual locking hubs from my solid axle right.

um, maybe im seeing this wrong, but i think you cannot use the solid axle wheel hubs, i think it says you need the ifs wheel hubs

[IronClad]

ok.. im going to use caps lock to kind of pound  this in
YOU USE THE IFS WHEEL HUBS
YOU USE THE SOLID AXLE LOCKING HUBS
PERRIOD

Ok Coooooooool   caps Really works.  sorry for the stupid newb question.  you all are the best.  thakyou for your patience and understanding.  Ill stop being retarded now.     beers for you allll

[Boing]

Ok what you circled in red is the "free wheel hub", in yellow "locking hub"

I installed this kit on my truck,

You need the ifs freewheel hub, the birfs on a solid axle are 30 spline (locking hub is thirty spline) where on a ifs truck the locking hubs are 27 spline (the locking hub bases arent interchangable)  

[jimbo74]

ok so you need the wheel flange mounting part from the ifs, and you use the dial part from the solid axle?

so is the original poster the only one that read what i said ?

RED = IFS HUB
YELLOW = SOLID AXLE LOCKING HUB , since you are using a solid axle

[insane04]

sounds like a terminology debate

LOCKOUT ------is the thing you turn to LOCK the front axle

HUB----- is the thing that the wheelbearings go in
