I have a 2018 2500 with 42x15.50x26. I have just rolled 20k miles and already need to replace my front hubs. I understand I will go through them quickly. My question is, is there an upgrade I can do or what is the best replacement?

Got a picture of that? I can't imagine what that truck/tire combo would look like.
Seriously. :eek:

F sic truck dude. Did you regear? If so what's your axle ratio, just curious. Probably have plenty of torque to roll them badboys over, do you happen to know the total weight for one wheel / tire set?

I don't personally don't know anyone, but you should reach out to people who do the Baja racing and such. I am sure there are forums for that kind of activity you might be able to get some insight. That is an awesome looking truck!

Guy by me has pretty similar add-ons on his 2500. The windshield surround is sick. Looks like he’s ready for the zombie apocalypse. Every time I pass his house I’m jealous.

I asked a CHP here in California about that window surround and he said you would get ticketed left and right for it obstructing the view of the driver. Would be cool to add that stuff for my stormtrooper look on my 1500 [emoji41]

Very nice build sir [emoji1360]

Baja racing with 42” tires and 26” wheels, 500lbs bumpers...???? Heck no it would be an insult to the sport unless that thing was a Kamaz race truck ...

I would check ,SKF, Moog, and mavotech for upgrade hub and bearing. No idea if they can help you, but no doubt what ever you find, it will be mostly Chinese stuff. I like the idea of checking forums for trucks off roading, overland, and other related activities.

Just figured the terrain punishes the vehicles so if anyone had good ideas for extra tough accessories to help the OP, it might be someone there.

The OP can start here: https://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/43-newbie-general-4x4-discussion/
Be humble and explain the issues and goals. This is not a site for the faint of hearts :) it's a bunch of gearheads that take extreme offroad to their hearts. i'm sure the OP will be able to find what he needs there.
