well I pulled the trigger on disk conversion on my 14 bolt. :) I have next week off and thought hell...why not try and get the axle swap done. I ordered everything from them except there hoses and hose clamps. I opted to get ORD stainless hose and eliminate all hard lines on the axle.

down side is I have 15" tires. so when I get rims for the 8 lug looks like ill have to shave some of the caliper off to make em fit. anybody done this?

No experience with Lugnut4x4 but I've shaved calipers (and brackets) for 15" wheels on both front and back, no big deal. Paint the caliper and grind until it clears then a hair more for good measure. Just have to be careful not to get all grinder happy and take off way more than you need to.

Does the angle of this caliper look right? I think it needs to rotate a little more clock wise....thoughts??

My thought is it needs to have the bleeder pointing up.

Wheels came in today. I’ll have to paint over the purple stripe around the rim. But perfect fit ❤️
