For the most part. Find a good write up and use it. This is covered A LOT.

when I first did it I used ranger axles, you can buy svo rotors from a parts store, it would be the cheapest way to convert to 5 lug, but your wheel choice would be limited

I used the kit from Late Model Restoration. It was 400 bucks but came with everything. It came with brand new yukon axles, new rotors, bearings, all that stuff. Was a good kit.

^ How'd you get the front rotors to work with those wheels?

How did i get them to work? If you're referring to clearance issues, there wasn't any, i believe they're just stock size rotors.

I mean the wheel bearing usually creates a problem. It won't allow the wheel to be mounted because it sticks out really far. Or did you use sn spindles, rotors and calipers up front?
