That's a nice kit CC. Are you taking about a D44 hub? I have just a normal hinge, but wish I would have used a hub so you can lock it in any position. Mine is from Slee Offroad, but not sure he sells just the hinges anymore.

both of mine, tire and gas rack are rockstompers.
I believe that is what I paid,also bought the big heavy D ring mounts from him. I prefer the look of the larger mount, not really any stronger me thinks, just more appealing to my eye.

I put a few of these together for some friends who went with plate bumpers. They look nice and can be locked in multiple positions. GM or Jeep 44 hubs have a thicker wall and are better suited for this purpose. I used Dana 30 spindle and stub axle for the anchor point. The grease seal hasn't been installed yet and is weather tight when complete.

You know, I was looking at the one Justin had on the tech day and it looks like a trailer spindle. I would check with a local trailer shop and see if they can get that kind for you.
I do like the lockout hub type also, gives it a personal touch.
I bet a tractor supply store would sell the spindle set as well.
