@WW_RANGER_X I'm not saying the BMS spindle nut isn't a solid locking method. I just like the Stage 8 the best.

Driveplates shouldn’t be siliconed. Oring for easy convenient prep.
Or just sell the whole axle and put a 35spline semi floater in. Only prep mine every 4-5yrs

I have zero desire for a semi-floater

Not exactly the same as the BMS lock rings but a similar approach.. My old Ranger kingpin spindles used a threaded pinch bolt style collet as the spindle/bearing nut. Tighten it to where you wanted, then crank down the allen screw so the nut bites down onto the threads. I never had one come lose on me ever. Super simple and efficient.
If you can blast a Allen screw with brake clean, put a drop of red loctite on there, and snug it up, then idk what to tell ya haha

Definitely getting those Stage 8 spindle nuts for my 60 spindles since they are also both RH thread. Glad I read this. BTW my Schreiner use to have a similar problem with the driver side loosening and destroying bearings and seals only difference was the tooth on the lock ring that locks into the spindle would break. Had custom lock rings laser cut from .125 4130 and it solved the problem.

That’s definitely what my plan was, just not 4130 lol. I was going to do 3/16” HRPO and a snug fit. I want all the purchase I can get.
@DialedShockPrep that’s what I was describing as my second choice

Spindle nut system modeled up. Everything is parametric. I have no clue on any of the actual measurements, aside from spindle diameter that I found online. Snap ring imported from McMaster. I copied the design of Stage8, so there are 23 teeth, meaning the external teeth on the lock ring are inherently offset from the octagon pattern. That gives infinite fitments, and I'll just need to rotate the lock ring around until it fits the spacing.
There's a good chance this doesn't happen and I just use the clamping spindle nut idea

I’ve had ok luck with the BMS style lock nut (if that’s the style you mean) but I have seen them fuck up the snout threads when the tab broke off the washer and spun it anyway.

I use AAM 14 Bolt spindle nuts on my Dana 60 and 70. Easy to work on, can't come loose, the wedge goes in and the spring clip snaps on the spindle threads. Cheap too, you can find them used all day long for like $30-40 a set on Ebay, or literally any pick a part will have more than you need.

Are those LH snd RH thread?

Ahh, that would be a no, soz. The only factory RH LH thread spindle nuts in the 2”-16 I know of are Sterling 10.5, theyre a serrated ratcheting lock nut kind of like those TTB D44 ratcheting ones

No, this is the other style I'm contemplating. There's just not much meat on off the shelf spindle nuts, so I have it modeled for a 1/4"-20 socket head cap screw. I'd have to turn down the screw head, as they're 3/8" dia and the spindle nuts are 3/8" thick. Going this route, I'd probably still have my cousin make spindle nuts so they could be thicker/larger diameter where I need it.
Those are cool. I just looked and didn't see anything for 1-13/16"-16, though.

Is this more a problem with the Shreiner spindle nut system or is this an issue with all Dana 44&60 spindle nuts with the preload nut, lock washer, jam nut system? I had never head of these backing off if the jam nut was properly torqued, but I have no personal experience and I have a rig with 44&60 front and rear that I’m about to move on its own power for the first time so I’m curious whether it’ll be an issue or not.

On factory setups as long as it’s torqued properly and the tab on the washer is in good condition it’s unlikely to be an issue. I always red loctite the outer nut on offroad stuff too

I had D44 hubs on my old Tundra, and I've had the toothed lock ring hop out of the keyway, messing with the spindle nut torque. I welded two lock rings together to make it thicker, and added weld material to the tooth and filed down to fit nicely in the keyway.
I don't think this is a Schreiner specific issue, as much as me just wanting something that physically cannot back off, instead of 'ohhh this shouldn't back off if done right'

More messing around with Fusion. I have a whole list of things to do to the truck this Summer, one of which is redo the rear bumper section and add paneling/more storage.
Here's the first rendition.
