Pretty new to this site, but has any body done this swap?

 

whould it work?

 

I know a fellow who used the EMS Off Road kit when he did his and he loves them.I guess if you had issues with both hub assemblies and needed to replace them both I may consider it but cost wise the little you gain from the change over is not worth the work.

I have been thinking of this for some time. I have the parts, and have built half a dozen rock crawler/dune runners for guys with one off susp/steering set ups that work great. The only problem i see is the arm location between the two. Ford is longer, might need a longer pitman arm. Problem 2, daily driver with (3) kids! (3) kids means not much $$$ for my stuff. Still cheaper than Dynatrac!

 

when I had my '96 2500 I looked into the ems kit, it's nice and worth the money but I wanted to swap in a ford front axle instead. but I also fabricate metal for a living so it wouldn't be that big of a deal for me. the ford brakes, high pinion, axle shafts, hubs and serviceable wheel bearings are superior to the dodge setup.

if you don't want to or can't fabricate, the ems or dynatrac conversions are the way to go. I've heard they're worth the money (and not cheap) but have no direct experience with them.

 

I'm like you not much $$$ and would like to up grade the wheel bearing setup.. I'm tired of buying them..
