Some people like the idea of having the end hubs as the weak point and first thing to pop in the drivetrain, but we don't like pulling over to fix anything. We wanted some hubs that would hold up like our 35-spline chromoly axleshafts do. We had never tried a set of Mile Marker's 35-spline Dana 60 hubs, but we had heard great things about their strength and wanted to check them out for ourselves. To date, the Mile Marker locking hubs on our front Dana 60 axle are still functioning well and haven't broken. We were a little worried since we've been running 47-inch tires so we haven't tried to go pound through too hardcore of a trail, but we've definitely been in the mud, through some trails, and on the gas a whole bunch 1. The Mile Marker 449 locking hubs come with everything you need to install them on the ends of your 35-spline Dana 60. All you'll need is some oil (never pack them with grease).1.

Though we will use a snap ring to hold in the drive flange it is unnecessary to use a snap ring on the stub shaft with these Mile Marker hubs.2.

One small option we really liked was the hub turning tool that allows you to get better leverage to lock or unlock the hubs. We drilled a hole in ours and stuck it on our keychain so we would never lose it. But, we've found these hubs pretty easy to engage and disengage so far. We're guessing we'll need that hub tool one day when our truck is really bound up.5.
