Re: NEWB help on lowering/5lug conversion/disc brake

Trust me.... lolife99 is the go-to when it comes to lowering a 67-72.

The thing about getting parts from places other than ECE is that you will have everything you need in the kit to install this on your truck. If I recall correctly I only had to purchase bearing grease and reuse the castle nuts from the original drum setup on my '69; other than that, everything was in the kit.

Now... is it a little higher than other companies? Yes
Did I have to wait months for my parts? No... I had everthing within a week of placing my order. I wasn't waiting on back ordered items, etc.
Did I have to guess about what parts would work with other parts I purchased, resulting in lost time and money? NO

It truly was the most effortless purchase/install I've had to do. (Thanks to lolife99.) I've never missed the extra $$$ as I was rolling down the road by the time the rest of the parts from other companies would have arrived.
