    Hubs are typically designed that they should be the first weak link.

    Based on my understanding the Aisin hubs will break before the axle.. Not sure about the Warn.

    The only part you cant get over the counter is the outer CV. Everything else is stock parts.

    2wd low range for one thing.

    It just depends on the needs of the owner.

    The kit comes with bearing and misc parts to adapt bearing, outer CV and 2 boot kits.

    You will need to remove the wheel bearing and the outer CV. The axle and inner CV are reused.

    I think you will get a better understanding of the kit if you watch the video I made.
