I'm getting all my parts together for my full width swap, mild stretch, extended radius arms, and rear four link.
I started digging through my Bronco Bookmarks and came across an FourWheeler Mag article and running dual piston F250 calipers while remaining 5 on 5.5
I hadn't seen this particular swap discussed in detail. So I though, I'd contribute to the collective a little.
Why go through this hassle instead of go with 8 on 6.5?
You already have a build 5 on 5.5 9" rear(or other).
You already have expensive 5 on 5.5 headlocks. Hell, to me it's worth it not to have to dismount and remount 4 or 5 beadlocks.
-or in my case
I did want the added WMS of going to the 8 lug hubs. I definitely like the width of going full width but I still want to be able to keep my tires in as close as I can without a bad scrub radius.
