Avenger Outer Brngs on a Conquest

[Rock Doctor]

Has anyone else converted over yet?
I'm thinking about doing it, it's a pretty simple upgrade. A friend of mine is doing his Conquest right now and I was wondering if anyone has tried it. Any issues, problems? We were told a few times (Argo Dealers) that it can't be done, but we have already proven that it can, we just havn't fully "tested" the setup.
I heard that there is, or will be an upgrade kit available with everything you need to upgrade axles and brngs. Any truth to this? My buddy just purchased parts seperatly. At this point he is using his Conquest axles, but It would be nice to be able to grease the outer brngs through the new style axles.

RD, are you talking about the new HDi larger bearing setup?????... A friend of mine who own a 2008 Avenger busted a middle axel beaging and a dealer just installed a new HDi bigger and beeffier bearing kit instead of the older and narrowed Avenger's bearing. They supposed to be a lot more tough than the original ones. It seemed that you need the new outer steel flange ( no more Aluminium) and the modified inside steel flange. It's suppose to just bolt right in.. Let me know if you are dooing the complete make-over.. I was thiking about dooing the same at my next bearing replacement...

Yes, my mistake, I was talking about the new style on the HDI. The Avenger brngs are the same as the Conquest. The assembly does bolt right on, but you may need to hone out the body hole on the Conquest a bit. He is just doing the brngs right now, but plans to do axles as well in the future.
Is there a complete kit available?
