I was actually planning on buying those this weekend as my 2nd set of wheels so I could have 27.5 and 29 but had to scrap that plan to worry about the rear hub.
Ah, you have the 29er. Disregard my suggestion.

Forgot about the BHS, they make good budget wheels for road, but not experienced with the mtb version. There is. centerlock option but only 142, see if they sell endcaps to expand to boost.

Yeah, something about less friction. I have them in my dura ace road hubs and they are fine. But for cheaper mtb hubs no one wants to crack that mess open.I think I read somewhere that they claim they are faster.
This is the correct answer I'll even throw in a higher poe star ratchethttp://www.mtbnj.com/forum/threads/dt-swiss-m1700-i35-boost-27-5-wheelset.43979/#post-794911
Make an offer for these, sell off what you don't need and your old front wheel. You might be ahead of the game rather than rebuilding. Not sure if this is the 350 hub but I think you can upgrade this hub up to the 36T or 54T ratchet.
Also if I recall correctly, his Honzo has a 100mm spaced fork, so only rear is boostAh, you have the 29er. Disregard my suggestion.

Front hub is basically a bearing holder. Some are lighter than others, but not much to get excited about. I would just upgrade your rear wheel and not worry about the front. Not sure which fork you have, but if it’s decent I would leave it alone. Upgrading to a dependable faster engaging rear hub is where you’ll really notice a difference.Exactly, I am planning to upgrade it to the same front fork but with boost in the winter. That is why I wanted to get a 2nd wheelset now so I wasn't buying it all at once, but with this hub headache plans have changed. I could run a 27.5+ rear and 29 front, but not sure I would want to do that full time.
