Sorry for the noob question but, where can I get the SN95 spindles, with new hubs, washers and the castle nut? The dealer?

The reason why I asked about the 96 + is because thats all the junk yard had.

ORIGINAL: ruger311

put on SN95 spindles, get yourself new hubs while youre at it like $40 each, dont forget to add some washers before you put on your castle nut like .310" then you got your five lug convo, get some MM SS brake lines, and cobra brakes and 13" rotors there you go

you can use the 96-98 setup, but it will push your wheels outward about 5/16 of an inch.

correct, the 96-98 spindles pushes the wheels out an extra 8mm.... they will fit depending on the wheels/tires.

I was thinking of the same route as your friend, and wanted to know how he likes his set up....
