    Rcv IWE eliminator kit

    I did not have to replace the hub with the wheel bearing. Going back to stock was just like replacing the hub. A pain in the ass, but nothing too crazy. The Howe kit is well worth it. I bought a new F-250 powerstroke. It's lifted, but it isn't going to do much off-roading. I have a Jeep...

    Rcv IWE eliminator kit

    For me it wasn't nearly as bad as Sportman's. The steering was a little heavier, but I didn't think that it was too bad. I did burn up a power steering pump after I put them on, but that was in the snow and being ran hard. The stock power steering pumps really are inadequate on these trucks...

    Rcv IWE eliminator kit

    I was reading back through what I had posted and I wanted to retract when I earlier said that there was an issue with these fitting. There is not an issue if you cut out every little bit of the rubber of the IWE setup. There is not a word of instruction included with these so I guess you are...

    Rcv IWE eliminator kit

    Update: I have about 17,000 miles on mine and now i get a harsh clunking noise when I turn sharp. My best guess is that the limited slip is trying to engage. I have a Jeep with a lunchbox locker up front and it does that. It is a bit more annoying in my Raptor as I drive it on the street a lot...

    Rcv IWE eliminator kit

    I really wish that I would have made a tutorial, because there are some fitment issues. I believe that RCD is aware, but right now there are no other options. Completely remove the IWE hub, then slide the stock ring out of the plastic. Then slide the IWE ring in. Replace, but do not tighten...

    Rcv IWE eliminator kit

    They are in After going through multiple hubs and axles I am over the IWE setup. I broke my first axle and hub with bald ass stock tires in soft sand. Since then I am running 13.5" wide Cooper STTs and it has become a major issue when I am crawling in the soft stuff. I put in the RCV IWE...

    Rcv IWE eliminator kit

    Having Broken 3 hubs and two axle shafts I'm ready to try this kit. Slow crawls in sandy terrain shows how inadequate the IWE setup is. I drive this truck daily and I was really hoping that there was a better solution. I was even considering running a vacuum pump like we do on hotrods with...
