Re: Who has the best price for front disc brake conversion kit

I made money on my disc brake 5 lug conversion (running driving 76 longbed for $600)
what kind of kit are you looking for, I don't think there's alot of options if youu want to stay 6 lug. If you do a 5 lug conversion don't forget the cost of wheels.

POL has a kit for the six lug, it came with everything it should have except the dust shields. Everything fit good and I was satisfied with it.

The options are the same as a 5-lug swap.
EXCEPT,... you buy an aftermarket 6-lug rotor, instead of a 5-lug rotor.
Everything else is the same.
(must use HD spindles)

Re: Who has the best price for front disc brake conversion kit

I also bought the kit from POL. Very nice for the money. But I had to cut a little bit off each upper control arm. The lip by the ball joint rubbed the spindle but no big deal.

Aye I do remember that I had to grind the lip down also, it has been a year since installed and had forgotten.
