5bolt hubs to 6 bolts...

Id seen some info covering this Dana30 upgrade once but i cant find it anymore, is there a site, or any information here that ive missed already?

thanks guys.

I have 76-6bolt hubs id like to put on 81 5-bolt setup with disc brakes as ive read these are stronger.



Thanks!

 

i think you have to change everything which maens drum brakes.

i believe wsg wants to use his 6-bolt hubs on his disc brake conversion, rather than change his 6-bolt to 5-bolt. :?

 

That is how I read it, too... he wants to put the 76 (6 bolt) hubs on the 81 5 bolt because they (the 6 bolt) are stronger.

From what I read last week, you can just swap them out. I don't have hands on experience yet, though.

 

That is correct. you can just swap them. just put a set of 6bolt on dad's 82 cj-7

 

Yeah thats what i want to do...keep the 6bolts on the disc setup.

I thought id seen it written up somewhere online to reference before i got started, just wanted a visual.

Thanks!

I could take some pictures if anybody else was interested.
