Spyntec info

[verdesardog]

I got one side of my spyntec shorty installation done today.

Here are a couple of observations.....

It looks fine:

Doesn't stick out past the wheels/tires:
The measurement from face of brake rotor to end of hub is 5 1/4"

These are ll the parts for one side with the addition of axle u-joints:

The instructions forgot to metnion placing this seal for the inner spindle bearing before installing hub:

The instructions don't say anything about the snap ring that should go on the end of the axle stub. The mile marker hub instructions say it's not needed but install it if it fits

If it's not installed the axle will be free to move lateraly inside the axle tube and might become noisey. Every 4x4 I worked on had these snap rings installed:

That looks very nice. I like how the hubs do not stick out like the Yukon hub kit I put on mine.

All you guys installing free spin kits keep moving it higher up on my list!
Looks good!

WOW! this truck steers so nice now....

When you have an 800 lb eng. every little thing you can do to help the steering is good...A couple posts below the Orange PW said gas mileage improvement is small. Let us know how your smoker does..

I don't think it will do much for fuel milage although some people report as much as 2mpg. I bought the kit more for maintenance issues.

So, did the snap ring fit or not ?

I thought I replied already...

I had to put shims between the axle tube and axle flange to compress the seals as the hub was torqued down, that kept the axle extended enough to get the snap ring on. Once the ring was on a partial rotation of the hub released the shims....


Now I have to get a photo with the hubs installed for my sig pic

I feel your pain!!! It took me a few days but now yes, I like em. Steers easier, I can get by with less throttle, & it stops easier, I wish to god I could report 2mpg better but no I've seen about an all around 1mpg better tho. But yes steering & the ability to have 2 LOW & ease of maintainence are the real perks. Don't buy it to save 2mpg.

Nice rig!
