Recommended when going to 37's?
I've never had a trunnion bearing fail...........yet since running 35's. I do have upgraded knuckle studs and I run KOYO or Nachi bearings. I also run hydro assist but I put a spacer in the ram to limit stroke just as the steering stops are reached.
I did see one trunnion bearing fail on an axle I setup on 35's. It was a Chinese bearing on my son's truck, he drives like a maniac and it still took a couple years to fail.
So far so good on my truck but I'm going to a heavier beadlock wheel and larger heavier tire.
I know the 8" diff and axles have their limits as well. I've upgraded everything else. I'm asking if the trunnion bearings and pin upgrade would be a worthwhile investment. If so I'm going to take advantage of the holiday sale.
Anybody eliminate their trunnion bearing failures by doing this upgrade?
