Our billet rear hub kits include Hubs, bearings, seals, hub centric center caps, lug nuts, 5/8" wheel studs, and hardware. $1395.00 or with a complete 4 piston Wilwood brake kit $1995.00

They come in 5 on 5.5, 6 on 5.5, and 6 on 6.5" bolt patterns.

Same hubs that Heidi Steele runs on the class 6 truck and has won championships in SCORE and BITD.

A few other trucks running the hubs that all won races and or Championships last year in 2011.

kyle LeDuc also ran them on his Pro-lite last year.

Jerry, do you sell a 7075 2.5" snout rear hub? If so what is the cost minus brakes? Hubs look nice.

With rear Floater hubs you need to keep a few things in mind,

-bearing spread
-bearing size
-available axle sizes that safely fit in snout
-materials used
-bearing location relative to WMS

Do not be fooled, there are hubs out there that are being compared to the BMS 2.5 inch units when they should not. The bottom line is stay away from 2.25 bearing hubs and small bearing spreads. Another thing to take note is that TRUE bearing spread is measured between the bearings, the inside edge, NOT the outside - outside bearing measurement. You want it to be roughly 1.5 inches, NO LESS for offroad. Even our pro-touring full floater hubs have 1.5 inches of TRUE bearing spread.

I may not be brilliant but it is safe to say I know more about hubs / floaters then just about anyone in the industry. Currently we are gearing up to build complete TI rear end housings and hubs setups... but for pro-touring cars... sorry offroad! I have spent the past 4-5 years doing massive research in regards to hubs and drive-line components. The bottom line, for the dollar you simply CANT beat the BMS products.... oh and they are 100+ MPH TT race crash tested... then race winning!

Yes they are all drawn up and about to hit the machines in a few weeks. I will post CAD pictures tomorrow. They are all the same dimensions as the TT hubs but will be offered in 5 on 5.5, 6 on 5.5, and 6 on 6.5 bolt circles. They will retail for $1595.00 and $1695 for 6 on 6.5".

And thank you!
