the thickness of the rotor is 1" on the light version, & 1 1/4" on the heavy. Im not sure about diffs in the balljoints, but if you use all of the corresponding parts on the swap, you should be able to use either setup. Best of luck,crazyL

1.381 inches, close enough. so those are the same as 71-80 spindles and i can use the 6 lug disc rotors.

Yup, 1.381 is close enough.....i think the 1.250 is a minimum thickness, when doing brakes. crazyL
