Re: drop spindles
Would be nice if they did for budget builds like mine. Converting to disk brakes is a great upgrade though.

Re: drop spindles

Re: drop spindles
I got the same dilemma. The only thing I could find are DJM's 3" drop lower control arms. Which seem to have mixed reviews. Disc brakes turn into a really expensive upgrade when you end up having to get new rims.

Re: drop spindles
You could always use wheel adaptors to go from 5 lug back to 6 and salvage parts aren't really that expensive you can get every thing from the booster to the lug nuts for at or under $250 well around here anyway I have $200 in mine then about $150 in new rotors calipers and pads so it's not out of reach

Re: drop spindles
They make a 6 bolt rotors. The stock wheels won't clear the calipers. You need a 70s-80s 4 wd 6 bolt wheel, if you want to be 6 bolt all the way around. or just get a 2wd 5on5 wheel for the stock 73-87 5 bolt. Check craigslist for somebody parting out a old 73-87.
