Need help with 5lug conversion

i have a 6lug drum now on the front end and have everything for the conversion. I went out and bought crossmember, a-arms, spindles, rotors, calipers everything intact. My question is would it be easier to just take the a-arms with everything attached and slap them on or would it be easier to do the whole crossmember swap on it too? I saw pics of what i would have to do for the crossmember swap but cant find them anymore.

If you're rebuilding the suspension, just remove the pieces & replace them. Swapping the entire c.member out saves time if everything is fresh & doesn't require rebuilding.

Welcome to the board. I'm in Rowlett.... work in Garland.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
