Wink Re: Rear disc brakes? S10 rear end. I'm confused

My other question was if i order a 5lug disc brake kit for my lug rear end, would i also have to order 5 lug axels? If that makes any sense.... lol, thanks
S-10 5 lug axles are smaller than a C=10 5 lug axles. The s-10 is 5 lugs but the circle they make is 4 3/4" where a C-10 is 5" circle. If you bought the brakes for the C-10 they will not fit the S-10 axles.
If the rear end will go under the truck as you want all you will need is a set of wheels to fit a s-10 are run adapters.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
