    I think 15's do fit without caliper grinding. You can use a half ton caliper, which uses 15" rims.

    well guys it kinda suck but i cant afford to do the disc swap, just dont have the cash , and my woman needs a ring. but in about a year i will prolly do it.

    One thing tho, the spring mounts on this axle are underneath the tube, can i just flip it over or do something to make it bolt on top of the spring?

    Flip the axle over buddy.

    Unless some jeep homo had it in his truck before hand no 14 bolt ever came in a sprung under appilcation.

    dude, where do you live? I think you need guidance. I've never heard of a spring under 14 bolt. You did say you got it out of a chevy truck right?

    Make sure the pinion is on the bottom.

    The "mounting bracket" is called the spring plate and yes on 14 bolt full floaters they all came like that. I dont mean to be a dick but you dont know what your talking about so go buy a membership and search for all the info you need on pirate or coloradok5. Hell, try searching here. Like I said, I'm not trying to be rude but the questions you are asking are EXTREMELY basic and have been answered a thousand times over.
