🧾 Overview
The Axiom Supply Special Flange Wheel Bearing & Hub Assembly is a heavy-duty conversion hub designed for 2005 and newer Ford Dana 60 front axle housings. Featuring a genuine GM-style 8×6.5-inch (8×165.1mm) wheel flange integrated with a Ford Dana 60 unit bearing housing, this assembly allows builders to run GM-pattern wheels without redrilling, machining, or using wheel adapters.
Engineered for demanding off-road applications, the assembly features precision tapered roller bearings, high-performance bearing grease, and Grade 10.9 zinc-plated wheel studs. Its reinforced bearing and hub structure helps minimize hub-face deflection under load, supporting improved steering response, braking stability, and durability when running oversized tires or modified suspension systems.
Ideal for straight-axle swaps, GM truck axle conversions, and custom Jeep or Toyota one-ton builds, this fully assembled hub installs directly into compatible Ford Dana 60 front axle housings. An integrated ABS wheel-speed sensor and supplied mounting hardware complete the assembly, which is backed by Axiom Supply's No-Nonsense Lifetime Warranty.

⚠️ Fitment Notes
- ❗ Designed for compatible 2005+ Ford Dana 60 front axle housings.
- ❗ Features an 8×6.5-inch (8×165.1mm) GM-style wheel bolt pattern.
- ❗ Does NOT retain the factory Ford 8×170mm wheel bolt pattern.
- ❗ Uses M14×1.50 wheel studs.
- ❗ Fits front driver-side or passenger-side applications.
- ❗ Not a direct replacement for standard Ford-pattern hubs when retaining factory 8×170 wheels.
- ❗ Custom axle swaps may require additional modifications to braking components, ABS wiring, wheels, or related components.
