Does disc brake conversion reduces the width of the axle, either front or rear? We know that brake rotors are lot thinner than drums, so I assume converting to a disc brake reduced the width of axles, front or rear. The reason I am asking is I am thinking about swapping my stock HO52 to a 14 bolt out of a one ton van which is about couple of inches wider on each side. The 14 bolt has drums so I am thinking if I swap the 14 bolt to disc brakes, I will be very close to my stock drum HO52?! Am I missing something?
