What's do I lose???

If you are set on doing the five lug setup .... I would just go with the stock truck parts , 12-bolt etc.

You can upgrade thru the aftermarket to 13" or even 14" rotors , Put good quality brakes on the rear , it probably already has hydra-boost , make use of that. And then make sure the trailer brakes are working properly. You may want to at least run heper bags on the rear unless you are going air-ride all around.


I have a 96 1-ton crew cab longbed dually that I cut down to a shortbed and then put 1/2 ton suspension on it. I tow a 24ft enclosed race car trailer with it and have had no problems what so ever.

I understand what everybody is saying about sticking with the 8-lug stuff and I have no disagreements with it ..... I was just after a different look and it seems to work good for me.
