Potter don't mean any offence but I have seen broke spindles due to this. I have seen may spindles that have had grooves in them over the past 6 years, that is also how long I have been machining the spindles so this is not something new. I have been doing this for a few years now. 1500 miles is not much at all drive it daily and you will start to see the groove show up and over time will break the spindle. If it is trailored then hell use that seal, but if you drive it and especialy daily then don't use it, have the spindles machined, hubs redrilled, or new hubs made with the 5lug. But do NOT use that seal it is unsafe! I have been into mini's and fullsize trucks for 16 years now so I am not some new guy on the scene talking smack. Give me a yell if I can be of assistance in doing them for you.....John

I dont have 1500 on the seal.. i do myself, the truck was done by someone else, 4 owners ago, about 2 years ago. I've had my stuff all apart and see NOTHINg out of the ordinary. will it be left that way? no, never intended for it too, but you dont see ppl on here sahying they've had this problem and there are thousand and thousands of 5 lugs done using the seal.
its like AIM spindles.. some people have seen them break, some have never had problems.
i'm not a 'newb' to the scene either, i just have not heard of any 'big' deal about the seal.. except from you. i'm not saying you're not saying the truth, but if they do break b/c of that, then EVERYONE who has done it with the seal, would break.. and that isnt the case.
