Personally I would not have anything by CPP on my truck, and would not use spacers to try to make non-disc-brake-compatible wheels fit. It would be significantly easier to get some 5-lug rally wheels that just fit. Just my 2¢ and I apologize if it's not useful advice, and I'm not trying to be critical; I just have read too many OMG threads on this forum about the state of aftermarket parts and what brake and suspension systems people have found themselves dealing with and fabrication to work around problems.

Appreciate that. My arms seem to be alright as far as i can see. Just thought the update to later style crossbar and ball joints would be more beneficial. I am just gonna stay with the 6 lug setup and will eventually go to a differn 17 or 18 steel wheeel with caps. I was just trying to get the suspension done and drivable without dropping another 2k on tires/wheels
