Tech Note 1: Conversion Kits

Tech Note 2: Included Components

Tech Note 3: U-Joints Pre-Installed
The Axle U-Joints included in TK4959 will be pre-installed in your new outer axle shafts.

Tech Note 4: Ram 3500 Dually
If you have a Ram 3500 dually, your factory dual wheel hub adapters will have to be changed as they have insufficient clearance for the new lockout hubs included in our Kits. Order optional QU42072 Dual Wheel Adapter Set.

Tech Note 5: To Install
TK4959 includes the axle universal joints plus the parts needed to upgrade your Dodge to serviceable wheel bearings and lockout hubs. To install this Kit, you need to remove the original hubs and axle shafts. Depending upon age, mileage, and use, your truck may also need inner axle shaft oil seals, ball joints, brake parts, or pinion seal. Inspect the axle before disassembly for worn or damaged parts and order those extra parts/tools you desire for a first class job.

Tech Note 6: Ball Joints
We also stock TK42058 Dynatrac, Heavy-Duty greaseable/rebuildable Ball Joints and TK11266 Carli Extreme Duty greaseable Ball Joints for your Ram.

Tech Note 7: Kits Include
Torque King Premium TK4959 Kits INCLUDE QK4964 Tool and Lube Kit which has the extras you need for a pro-quality installation. All the components are also available separately. QK4964 includes:
QT1505 Wheel Seal Installer
QT1100 Drive Handle for Seal Installer
(2) QU90018 14 oz. Tubes Pyroplex Plus Synthetic Grease (One is used to fill the Bearing Packer)
S9975 Anti-Seize (Use between the spindle and knuckle and on the brake shield mating surfaces)
QT9404 Brush for applying anti-seize
QT5500 Bearing Packer with Cover

Tech Note 8: Seal Kits
Given the era of trucks these Kits fit, it is recommended you replace the inner axle seals which can become hard and brittle with age. For Inner Axle Shaft Seal Kits with oil seals and installation tools see QK4685.

Tech Note 9: Before Removing
The first time a 2010-2011 Ram 2500, Ram 3500 AAM 9-1/4" front axle has to comes apart, it is usually an absolute WITCH to separate the factory wheel hub assemblies from the steering knuckle as AAM did not use any anti-corrosion compound between the wheel hub flange and steering knuckle. The good news is since you are replacing the original hubs, you do not have to worry about them separating or getting damaged during the removal process.

Tech Note 10: Component Differences
The only component difference between TK4944, TK4952, and TK4959 Kits is the lock out hubs. TK4944 includes TK56120 Warn Premium Hubs. TK4952 includes TK11258 heavy-duty Dynaloc™ Hubs. TK4959 comes with QU56112 Mile Marker Stainless Steel Hubs.
