If the front drive train always spins has anyone put in a free spin kit or Selectable hubs?

It looks like the aluminum wheels would have to be replaced.

Would the fuel mileage increase be worth the expense?

No one makes them for a KJ,alot of fabbing would be needed to run such a mod(new knuckles and unit bearing along with the hub kit),cheaper to do a SFA swap.I have been running without my front driveshaft and both front CV's for a week now and zero improvement in mpg's.

My brother emailed Warn about some free wheelers last year and they replied that they were not planning on making any.
