pretty sure yukon makes em, and they are junk. They are a birfield elimanator kit, and have been known to destroy the knuckle ball when they break

I ran one for about five years (before there were Longs) and always in the back of my mind was is today the day it is going to blow One day it did go along with a lt of other stuff. The shock load also took out the hub gear and hub on the other side along with chipping the R&P.

This is what it looked like when I tore it down.

Go Longfields, I have yet to blow one in five years and I am not an easy wheeler.
