    I recently purchased some lower stock replacement Dirt King LCAs and TC Gusset Spindles to go with my JBA UCAs and 2.5 Kings. I am going to pretty much replace everything in the spindle from the wheel bearings and CVs. I was hoping someone can help point me in the direction of strong wheel bearings and was for going to get the trail gear Chromoly CVs, getting ready to regear and move up to 35s but being proactive on upgrading components before I do.

    I was planning on building everything as far as the wheel hub off the truck and piece it together once I have it all ready so time isn't really a issue getting everything together prior to installation.

    Does anyone have any recommendations on Wheel Bearings or know of threads that would help me with this project? I managed to pick up all this up off a guy who was doing a SAS. Ball joints/ bushings on the LCAs only have 10K miles on them.

    (UCAs in the photo are for a friend so ignore those)

    Thanks all!

    There are several guys who do/sell bearing on TW. Some sell complete assemblies others require you to send in your old assembly and they will press fit new bearings. Do a search on “wheel bearings”, vendor info is a bit buried in the threads but there.

    I have a buddy with a press so no issues there, just was curious if anything out there will withstand the test of time and bigger tires better.
