Aftermarket Hubs?

Does anyone make aftermarket replacement MANUAL hubs for the 2004+ body style.

There are no front "locking hubs" per say on all 1997 and newer F-150's. They all use a differential lock system where the locking and unlocking of the front half shafts is done inside the differential. If you're looking to convert to manual hubs - which I always liked better - you're out of luck.

2stroked, that was true of the 97-03 and 04 Heritage. The 04 up have Integrated Wheel Ends by Warn that lock/unlock at the hub, not the diff.

Here's some info.

As far as manual hubs, I have not heard of any that would work with this set-up.

Cool! Thanks for the correction. Still sounds like those of us who prefer manual hubs are SOL.

You are probably right about that.
