Hub suggestions
I have an 86 Sierra Classic with auto hubs and they seem to be more hassle than anything else. I need some good and CHEAP suggestions.

Re: Hub suggestions
I went with the Warn basic hubs, they work great.
They do have a plastic switch, if you step up to the Warn Premiums they are all metal. The only reason i went with Warn was because my mechanic told me when they break they will break in the locked posistion. Where the mile markers would break in the unlocked posistion meaning you are now down to your rear axle only and had better hope you can get out of wherever you are in 2WD. I have no idea if this is true but its what i was told and am having 0 issues with the warn.

Mile Marker makes a real nice hub, especially the Supreme models. All metal, they still cost less than the basic Warn hubs with plastic dials. My Dad has them on his D44 (later internal style) and I have them on my D60. Quality is top notch and the price can't be beat. I'd highly recommend them, you won't be disappointed  .Hope this helps, Joe P.S. - Not to argue, but 1/4 turn engagement usually isn't a good thing (compared to 3/4 turn). When its cold out and your fingers are frozen, a 1/4 turn hub will be much harder to turn... Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Hub suggestions
I have Warn Premiums on my truck, they're all metal and I want to say 90% turn to engage. Never had a problem with them.

Re: Hub suggestions
I've got Superwinch hubs on my 10-bolt and the original Warn 1/4 turns on my D60.

Re: Hub suggestions
I have spicers. Seem to work fine. Don't know what they cost but they've been on my truck since I got it and they're about the only thing that hasn't broken yet.
