Hello,
I looked for a disc brake kit for the one ton but did not find anything. Then because I was going to 10 lug on the rear I wanted the same on the front so I only need one spare wheel. However, the spare thing did not really work out because I had custom ones made for the rear, but in the future I might run 6 of the same wheels.

I did not think it was possible to keep the original I-beam front, but I did not really consider it because I found the stronger axle with what I wanted on the ends. I just had to make it narrower.

I am running custom made singles on the rear and a dual rim on the front, the same wheels from the 1994 truck with a 8X19.5 tire. The rear wheels I had made with the right back spacing to fit in my fenders. I could not run duals without both trimming the inside of the bed and widening the fenders. When I switch trucks I will have a flat bed and probably run duals, or perhaps still my singles, or I may switch every other week, who knows?

I can't figure out how to add pictures, I have seen it done by others, but I am new to this. I don't have them on line, just on my computer. Any ideas?
