[QUOTE="sportsman, post: 455030, member: 23834"] Being a retired truck driver, I immediately replaced the 5.70x8 tires and wheels with 175x80x13 tires and wheels. While at it, because the newer wheels did not fit the old hubs, I built a new axle using 2500 lb spindles and 2 1/2 inch heavy wall square tubing, and Bearing Buddies. Yeah this is overkill, but I don't have to worry about burning up bearings now. When I took the bearings off the spindles, I found the old bearings had galled the spindles. Another reason to replace. Bought the spindle kits on line for less than $100 per pair. Cost less than $175.00 to build a complete new axle. My buddy welded the spindles with an inexpensive 110v wire feed welder. Also bought new fenders, but thats another story. [/QUOTE]
