    I bought the kit about two years ago and one of my CV axles is now got problems so do not buy this kit if it ever become available because the problem is I should’ve known better that you’re gonna have problems getting parts for this kit particular to CV axles if you plan to keep your truck for any length of time mines a 2005 and here we are 2025. I bought it brand new. I’m 69 years old. I guess I thought and remembered the locking hubs and how I thought they were, pretty cool kind of a garage mechanic point of view not worth it. Don’t do it. I regret it. I’m going back to the stock set up so I can get replacement parts.
