Instead there are 2 large mounting bosses that accept a caliper mounting bracket. We have 5 and 6 lugs hubs made from billet aluminum. The hubs are a little wider than a drum brake hub, but almost 1 inch narrower than factory disc brake. This new hub will pull the wheels in away from the fender. We have 13 inch rotors in stock now, and Wilwood should have finished their 14 and 16 rotor kits by the time these spindles ship. We also have the rear big brakes ready for these. These spindles will be available with all of the ball joint tapers to fit which ever year truck you have. So we have addressed the need to narrow up the front end a little differently, and you do not need to buy new arms to do it.

If you have any other questions just ask.

I recall seeing a couple of different manufacturers making 'new' spindles that readily accept larger calipers & rotors (CPP & Hotchkiss to be exact).

What calipers? Is the rotor a spec made piece or off the shelf stuff that's machined for the truck 5x5/ 5x6.5 patterns? Solid, drilled, or multiple options?

And the big question everyone always wants to know..... how much? Do you have to purchase an entire kit or are other options available?

Makes sense. I just didn't think less that 1" would make a "measurable difference" but I'm glad you guys researched that fact.
