Mine have the same dimensions
. So this time they will fitt.
However the ones I choose (UPC: 818021012816) have a rubber seal on one side.

I just got conformation: the avid internetsite WAS incorrect. However, they dealt with the matter perfectly!
The bearings are re-ordered and on their way!

I would flip those wheel spacers around. They are made to be used with the flat side out to help keep the wheel plum on the axle.

Re: RPM Rear Hub Carrier Set RPM70172
Received and installed my hubs yesterday! for my t3

looks good so far !

When I installed them, the standard CVD's seemed a bit short (the cvd bone) .....

I happend to have T4 cvd's and they worked perfectly! The t4 bones are al little bit longer as you can see in the picture so the CVD's won't pop out on maximum downtravel.
haven't driven yet, but looking forward to that!

Nice!
Did you try any limiters inside the threaded shocks in combination with the T3 CVD's?

Re: RPM Rear Hub Carrier Set RPM70172
No I didn't try that.... My shocks just had a revision so I didn't feel like opening them up again
On full droop the T3 CVD Bone was only just inside the outdrive. Now with the T4 CVD on full droop it is perfect.
personally the T4 route seems simple and bullitproof or am I missing something here?

Re: RPM Rear Hub Carrier Set RPM70172
no, the B3 and T3 use unique rear hub carriers with a different offset than the gt hubs you are using. So the T4 cvds would likely line up better.

I took the truck for a quick
testdrive yesterday and it seems to work perfectly. So I'm keeping it the way it is right now!
Thanx again for the input !

Re: RPM Rear Hub Carrier Set RPM70172
Just for an FYI.... Customworks makes a rear hub Part #3241 that works very similar to these RPM hubs. Except they use a vertical ballstud mount with 3 positions and they use standard size T3 bearings. Just for when these hubs start to get hard to find, these are a good option and nearly identical dimensions. Just the ballstuds mount differently
