This site has good information. I just did my 5 lug conversion and went at things differently. I got a set of Cobra front brakes, rotors, and spindals for a good price. Since I decide to use the newer spindals, it required the newer ball joint and the newer style struts, as the strut mounting holes on the newer spindal were lower than the current fox struts. (Pita347 was happy about that!) I also got my hands on a Lincoln rear-end, which had all the brakes. Since the stock Lincoln axles are about 5/8 an inch longer, it scrubbed the side walls on the tires. New tires + big cuts = Grumpy OldMan! :bbb: I ended up talking with Fordified and he knew of a way to make the Lincoln brakes work with stock lenght alxes, hence a call to Moser. The rest is history......

what makes them custom? i need axles soon. did you get the big 5/8th studs?
Moser has a deal that with any c-clip style axle and stock lenght, $225. I called them and told them I wanted a C-Clip style axle, Fox Lenght, 5 lug, size of the hat, and size of the center (to fit a Lincoln disc rotor.) The price did not include the studs, as I bought some and beat them in with a hammer. Hind sight says, order them installed!!!
