Just found this article that answers lots of fixed spindle vs unit bearing questions.
Unit Bearings Versus Rebuildable Hubs Debate - Dynatrac - SpynTec - Off-Road Magazine
:specialed:
First step is to see if the bolt pattern is the same. I'd put money on it that SDHQ might have a take-off or replacement F450 bearing they could measure. Or find one locally and measure it at a parts store.
I wouldn't waste the time to do it to a stock upright. It honestly looks like its possible, but the stock uprights are very weak and prone to damage even with a gusset. So you would get the manual locking function, but you aren't gaining any strength. The upright should actually be weaker with...
I couldn't tell you the outer hub diameter, but having a rotor or rotor hat fit over it shouldn't be a problem. It looks like the F450 unit bearing is equivalent to a dana 60, so that would be your center bore wheel diameter.
Spidertrax's unit bearing looks pretty nice for a few reasons, but I...
The 1ton F450 style bearing would bolt on to the upright(knuckle) just like any other vehicle, and the center section is hollow. A CV shaft(35 spline) would come through and then a selectable manual hub would transfer the power from the inner part to the outer. You can also have a constant drive...
The preferred direction for strength, cost, and maintenance in the long run might be with a serviceable fixed spindle design. Unit bearings can't be serviced and when most designs fail, the truck isn't drivable. Although, the f450 unit bearing is SUPER popular because it is very strong, allows...
It's always been a possibility to have a full float style spindle with a snout design front spindle, check out the King of Hammer truggies that have IFS. They run drive flange kits that have the wheels always locked, and run the 4WD activation at the transfer case. Toyota has also been doing it...
Fabricated spindles are built daily for much less than 2k. I'm sure you've heard of raptor tax. Go read up on some build threads on DezertRangers. And obviously, you wouldn't buy a LT kit and then have a second set of spindles made. You would just have them made the first time to accept a...
Exactly. It's actually pretty common to use f450 bearings on offroad vehicles that require more strength. Spidertrax pretty much made these bearings with the 6x5.5 bolt pattern for vehicles that are pushed harder. If you were considering a fabricated spindle, the bearing block would have to be...
