word of warning about wheel hubs asembly
 
okay so my truck is in the shop blew the wheel hub assembly i was driving down a dirt road around 55mph and the wheel hub blew i was headed to my buddy's shop to go fix it luckily i slid into a open field so the damage wasn't as bad as it could have been . just a word of warning to y'all on wheel hubs keep an eye on your truck. and if one goes replace both it will save you in the long run i didn't and this happened. :argh: my first one went at 240k miles and 260k i dont know when they ussaly go but i hope it helps i just want to make sure everyone stays safe

do an OBS hub swap. they are way stronger. on 40x15.50x22s, havent changed mine in 80k miles.

you can't take the OBS spindle and just bolt it on... but a spindle is a much better idea. i'm going to guess it was the right side...

no, it is a kit.
