Plan to get some bling shafts and joints in there at the same time.
Rear suspension will be getting lowered 1.5", as well as some new shocks, and possibly some revising of the shock mounting.
I don't know about redrilling the knuckles. I would think that would be a bad idea. The knuckles are cast thicker in the area on the back of were the stock studs are pressed in. If re-drilling into the knuckle at an area where the casting is not as thick would make the knuckle weak. I guess you'll have to look at the back of the knuckle when you get them to see if the casting is a consistent thickness or not.
I would not redrill the knuckles. This sounds like a horrible idea. Do you really want to take the chance of your tire/brakes and everything falling off?
Sorry, I meant redrill the spindles to the Chevy 6 stud pattern. I assume my rotor would clear all the nuts.
If I can make my Ford spindles work, then I can buy Ford chromo shafts, keep my Ford hubs and rotors, just having to by new calipers as the Solid knuckles require the 94+ Ford bolt-on calipers.
If I can't, then I need to buy GM/Dodge D60 spindles, hubs, rotors, calipers, and outer shafts. Probably bearings too?
Both options will require 35 spline driveflanges, but the 1rst option would still allow me to use my stock Ford shafts as spares(coupled with some old Warn 30 spline hubs.)
Broncograveyard has a set of chromo 4340 shafts with no brand name on them for $465, or they have the same but Yukon for $740. Not sure who makes the no name. What is another good site for buying 60 shafts, particulary GM 35 spline outers?
you should be able to redrill the spindles I don't see why not
I'm not sure how these compare in price to others you have found but. . . http://completeoffroad.com/c-62678-a...-60-stubs.html
I would need 2 of these...

...coupled with some chromo Ford inners.
Re drilling my Ford spindles is not going to work. Will need GM spindles and spindle studs
Are the hubs the same GM v. Ford?
Took it apart today. The Warn Premiums only lasted 3 trips. The inner gear was cracked.
why not?Quote:

39.5x13.5x16.5 IROK Bias on H1 recented wheels with rock rings = 155lbs. Weighed them today on a bathroom scale.
I could do it, but at least one of the holes will overlap an old hole in the spindle.Quote:
