With either cross member or "brake kit" route, looks like the rim/clearance is the issue. I would rather not have to buy more tires, the ones on the truck have maybe 2000 miles on them.

So, you think the 1971-1987 Chevrolet 4 X 4 15" rims may also not clear calipers?
They will clear.
You can get stock height disc calipers at ECE that will use your stock ball joints and tie rod. If these spindles are $279 each they are probably not worth it.

SKU: 911-6370S
$279.00

Spindles


Description:



Early Classic Spindles are the original '60-'72 Stock Height (Disc Brake Conversion) Spindles, and are machined to accept your original tie rods and ball joints. While others offer later model parts that require changing your suspension components in order for them to fit, every Early Classic Spindle is designed for your specific year and model of Truck.
