Is it worth the cash and effort? I installed one of the first (possibly THE first) Warn FF kits to go into a Cruiser axle and while it is certainly a cool novelty I simply don't see the justification for the cost nor do I see any real improvements over the factory setup. One of the major benefits of a FF is the load being distributed over two tapered roller bearings, the Warn kit has two rollers but the method of attaching the whole setup to the axle is probably weaker than the SF. as well as smaller diameter axles (OK so they don't carry a load any more but still), the factory tube also needs to be narrowed by about 3/4" on each side so it's not much of a back yard install. Basically I think you could make better use of your hard earned cash in other areas,...... Rod
