I am not aware of any spacers or adapters that would allow you to use TJ 5x4.5 wheels with the Yukon 5x5.5 kit which requires CJ style wheels with a 108mm (4.25") center bore. TJ 5x4.5 wheels have a 71.5mm center bore. No way that little hole is going to fit over that big hub.
It would be very odd and very rare that they are not dual drilled for both patterns.If I were to go with the YA-WU-08 kit, then I would need to adapt the rear axles from 4.5 to 5.5 Do they make these adapters and would that make the rear wheels stick out wider than the front?
I recently had new rear chrome moly axles installed at the same time as the 488's and they might have been Yukon brand. Would they also have the 5.5 lug holes already in them, or was that something that you had custom made?
Hub kit with nothing else is 1 hour per side.Well me too now, after a couple trips to Adams Driveshaft to have them install new balanced shafts front and rear as well as new revolution rear axels and my small incremental adjustments to the pinion angles I still have a light rhythmic vibration (very mild) at 45 mph and then again more so at and above 75 mph. I’m so deep into this project and need everything as reliable as I can get so I’ve scheduled Installing a set of Yukon locking front hubs (12 hrs labor) and a few hours time sorting out any fine adjustment to the rear if it’s still needed. First available slot they had wasn’t until November 23rd after learning just how many hours it takes to install I didn't even considering doing the work myself, hopefully this is it for the drivetrain. My aftermarket rims are predrilled for multiple lug patterns so I’m guessing between the hubs kit having pre drilled holes for multiple patterns and my rims there should be no fitment issues popping up?
OK, I’ve got to check what I’m getting into this is Dan’s driveline in Las Vegas $1600 for the Kit and another $1200 labor to install is the $1600 Yukon kit Is this kit more than just the hubs usually or am I becoming someone’s ATM?
new revolution rear axels
could be this includes all that, the install is turn key complete I believe?Don't forget that you'll need to do something about the front shafts too.
Is that what you charge?Hub kit with nothing else is 1 hour per side.
Ha, another project another lingering bad taste in my mouth, lol.I've never installed the hub kit but I would say that labor charge is ludicrous.
I'm familiar with two meanings for the acronym ATM, and both work in this situation.
Not sure, we don't do them by themselves often but if you brought me a Yukon hub kit to install and nothing else, that is what I would charge. But, I have a lot of experience with them, I have a press set up, I know what to do when, and I don't need the instructions. I would guess an inexperienced shop to take 3 hours wheels off to wheels on. It really isn't much harder than swapping out a unit bearing. The only caveat is if they have to take your axles apart and attach the stub shafts. I'm usually dealing with assembled axles but even then, that should add only a half hour unless something goes wrong. But, if you have stock shafts, you should be running alloy inners to match the stub shaft.Is that what you charge?
1200 labor? Shit, I'll drive from SoCal to Vegas to install one for that much. Max charge for that including swapping u-joints, full R&R with the hub kit should be on the high side, 450 and even then that's getting carried away.OK, I’ve got to check what I’m getting into this is Dan’s driveline in Las Vegas $1600 for the Kit and another $1200 labor to install is the $1600 Yukon kit Is this kit more than just the hubs usually or am I becoming someone’s ATM?
Check and make sure you are getting new inners. Do NOT do outer axle tube seals.There’s a sucker born every minute hope it’s not me again, calling the shop to find out what’s up he says it’s a big job? Tubes, seals, bearings... 80 or 90 pounds shipping weight he’ll show me everything and his guys are good at tracking their time and will only charge me for actual time spent he claims. This is a really big shop and super busy, they have great reviews. I’m at the point in this I just want it done, when I got the 12 hour estimate it did make me choke a second... could be just a shop book estimate from Yukon they are using? All the parts I’ve changed I’m into serious money and not one single item has been jacked up to this point that I can tell so far until this?

Gotcha. I did my Yukon kit myself and I'm fairly efficient. And I would say it took my 1.5-2 HRS total for the axles and hubs portion. I did use new chromoly inners and U-joints. I did mine during a re-gear.Not sure, we don't do them by themselves often but if you brought me a Yukon hub kit to install and nothing else, that is what I would charge.
