Going 5 lug on my 90 LX street/strip. Few Q's for yall

So far I have the 94-95 curved spindles/hubs & 99 up PBR calipers, pads, rotors, brake lines. I'm about to order my 5 lug axles & drums soon. What other parts will I need to complete the swap correctly? Staying with drums in the rear for now.

If yo ustaying with drums in the rear, then you don't have much else to do. You may want to upgrade to a bigger master cylinder but it's your choice.

Got a 31 spline Explorer carrier & need axles that can take the abuse, so I definately will be ordering Moser, Strange, or Superior Axles

What's the master cylinder of choice? Brake booster too?

whats your hub bore in the front on the 94-95 spindles and hub? just make sure it matches your back, i believe ranger axles would have a smaller hub bore?

I did ranger axles in the rear. I got a pair of 'em for 50 bones. I also did the SN95 spindles/hubs/calipers/rotors/hoses. I was in the whole thing for pretty cheap really.
