Yukon Gear YA WU-05 Spin Free Locking Hub Conversion Kit – 2000-2008 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 DRW (Dana 60 / AAM)
The Yukon Gear Spin Free Locking Hub Conversion Kit is a premium upgrade for 2000-2008 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with Dual Rear Wheels (DRW).
This kit replaces the failure-prone and expensive factory unit bearings with a more efficient tapered bearing and race design. The result is fewer rotating parts in the drivetrain, which significantly reduces parasitic drag and improves fuel economy. In addition to better MPG, this conversion dramatically lowers long-term maintenance costs.
The kit also includes Yukon’s low-profile Hardcore Premium Locking Hubs, allowing quick and easy switching between two-wheel and four-wheel drive. Built for durability and performance, this is the ideal solution for Ram owners who want reliability, efficiency, and convenience.

- Yukon Hardcore Premium Locking Hubs – Low-profile design for quick 2WD/4WD engagement

- Reduced Maintenance Costs – More durable and serviceable than factory components
- Direct Fit for DRW Models – Specifically engineered for 2000-2008 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 Dual Rear Wheel trucks
