We are talking about the wider front hubs correct? I sometimes run them in the rear on buggy to make it take the corners with a more "rounded" approach, but I can't see how making the front wider would add steering to your truck.

Just curious;)

I'm not sure but it did. Probably because with the hubs in the front, it allows the wheels to turn to full lock without rubbing. Atleast on the 2.0 that would be the case.:nod:

so dremeling the front arms is not necessary with the +2mm hubs? Thanks! TW

before I order these guys I am going to ask....

You think this is worth it #1 and #2 I am assuming this is the same kit offered at amain that my friend told me about. Also what are you guys running for springs/shoes?

No it is still nessicary. There are 2 different rubbing problems, to slove both you have to do both. The webbing in the wheels rubs the very tip of arm on th back side. Using the 2mm hubs will solve this problem. The wheels however also rub(very outside edge of the wheel) the front and back of the arm. When you rub a tube or something the very edge of the wheel is pressed against the arm, which causes the wheels to break.:nod:

Is where you need to dremmel.:nod:

If you run the +2 hubs up front with AKA wheels, There is no issue with the wheels rubbing & and you can increase the steering EPA to get more throw on the steering.

The AKA's are better than some, but they still do rub the arms, which will cause them to break. Just a lil' dremmel work and they clear. (see above image)
