Warn hub conversion

[doodah]

I did some searching but couldn't find an answer. I am getting the 5x5.5 kit with inner and outer alloy shafts from a guy on another board. It is coming off a TJ and I am putting it on a YJ, should this just bolt in? Also, will any 5x5.5 wheel fit over the locking hub or do I need to look for wheels from a particular vehicle? I'll be running adapters for the rear until I can replace the rear with a 44.

I ran across a set on ford truck wheels one time that had a too small center hole

I'm pretty sure that you'll need a vacuum disco block-off plate (since the TJ's don't have those), a different passenger side carrier seal (TJ's are different), plus you'll need different rotors with a taller hat (I got mine from a friend), plus like you mentioned - wheels with a larger centering hole for the larger hubs & different WBP.

PM my friend Matt Pascoe here. He runs the Warn HCK with the 5x5.5 WBP.

I did a write-up here ~2.5 years ago on a 5x4.5 kit but it probably won't be as much help as a 5x5.5 install write-up.

Thanks. I am getting the rotors with the rest of the conversion so I should be good there. I did not know about the seal difference. I guess I'll need to pull the carrier to get to that seal? I may have to measure the hub circumference and go search the salvage yards for some wheels that will fit.
