So say i wanted to do a 5lug conversion to a 99-02 silverado. The truck has beltech drop spindles.. So idk if its possible and just buy a obs hub will it fit into the spindles and will it have a abs connection? will i need to spindles?
you will have to have your 6 lug hubs redrilled to 5 lug...dont forget your rotors to...

you cant drill rotors straight enough on a drill press to run the truck 100 miles an hour and not have a vibration. it would take a machine shop to get it right. thats probably the easiest way though.
fair prices too, however when I got my hubs done they told me they don't like to do ours, no reason... but everyone who gets them done I hear that from, so it may take some persuading to get the hubs done. Not sure why.

the hubs need to be re-drilled in the front. they are a bitch because the way they taper around the center its hard to center them to set your origin (0,0). You have to use a funny tool I forgot the name but it has a spring and a dial on it and shit and its just a general bitch.
either way, you can drill the rotors yourself if you want to on a drill press. They dont need to be perfect, just fucking close.
this looks like a complete waste of time and money, only way i'd do it is if i had control arms and spindles to do this, just put the OBS control arms on the frame and then I guess this could be done, but then you have to figure out exactly where the OBS arms need to go. Again, WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS???? but again, you still have the ABS issues, again... why???
i really dont care about the time and money.. i got the time i can get the money.. I just want to have something different. its just something that came to me one day looking at my truck..I also want a 5 spoke billet rim and dont feel like spending the money getting the cut for a 5 spoke 6 lug..
I would like to keep my front suspension just because my hubs a brand new.. so i guess if i just drill them i should be fine.
Someone school me..
