So, just as a side note.... After reading this post,

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/tow-rigs-trailers/619672-14-bolt-disc-swap-cab-chassis-axle.html

I am having serious doubts about ever going to disc on the rear of this C&C 14 bolt while retaining my duals. Which right now, I won't give up.

So unless running 19.5 duals, instead of the 16's referenced, will change a lot of the fitment dynamic; I will likely stay with drums permanently. If the 2.5" drums ever give me trouble or parts are extinct, I will then do any conversion needed to go to the 3.5" SRW drums like you mocked up.

For now, I'll do the 2.5" drums, basically a bolt on, and move on to 250 engine swap, steering, body, etc.

I'm off to measure hubs to make sure they are the same between my two DRW rearends and then work on whatever jumps out at me.
