WARN Premium Hub Set (38826): manual 4x4 hubs that actually stay locked
May 1st 2026
If you’re done trusting (and fighting) the aging factory 4x4 hubs (or anything with plastic where it shouldn’t be), the WARN Premium Hub Set (38826) is the industry-standard fix: all-metal construction, a ZA alloy dial, and a positive engagement design that’s built to stay locked when you actually need 4x4.

Why these hubs work (and why people keep buying them)
WARN designed these to be “no compromise” for trucks that see real use—snow, towing, work sites, and off-road. The dial requires a full 9/10ths of a turn to fully engage the inner drive gear to the clutch ring, and WARN backs that up with a thick internal wave spring and heavy dial detents to help prevent partial engagement or accidental disengagement.
And yes—WARN covers these with a limited lifetime warranty.

What’s included
Install reality:
Remove the old lockouts, clean the hub mating surfaces, install the new hubs per the factory hardware stack-up, confirm smooth dial operation, then test engagement before you button everything up. (Tip: the new hubs have a slightly larger diameter, and although rare, may require minor clearance work on certain dually spacers.)
