New to the forum first time posting. Im from gmfs

I have a 02 sierra with a solid front axle. Dana 44hp out of a 79.

Okay well, I looked last night and i have about 1.25-1.5 positive camber.

I know i can use a camber kit

http://www.jeepfan.com/projects/CastorCamber/Castor_Correctors.jpg they are like 30 bucks, Plus the spanner socket, Only problem is i dont think mine will come out that easy if they come out at all so rather use the shim i get more flex abilty can go from 0-1.5

But i can only find these in 6/8 stud spindles, when my dana 44 has 5 lug spindle.

Any one know were i can get one for a ford dana 44 with 5 studs thanks louis

I don't know if those will fit though....
Your other option is you can get GM kunckles and the GM spindle. Everything else of yours will bolt on.

Only problem with that is im going to have to run smaller brakes because the 10 bolt gm stuff uses diffrent brakes

Are you 8 lug?
Even still, the GM style brakes are years ahead of the Ford brakes. You might like them alot better.

Or just try and remove the ball joint bushing.

Says they will fit 66'-79' Broncos. I've used old 5 holes adjusters quite a few years ago and the ones you posted would be nice to try out some time.

Are you 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton? Brakes between 1/2 Ford and 1/2 ton Chevy, Chevy would probably win. As far as calipers go it appears that their split is between 3/4 ton and 1 ton, where Ford's split is between 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton. If its a Ford 3/4 ton(8-lug), you might be giving up a little for the Chevy 3/4 ton brakes, but its your call.

Where did you get the 6/8 hole shim? Could you go back to the same source and specify Ford, which are all 5-hole? Have you tried NAPA?

Im running the bigger dual piston calipers like the ones on the dana 60s, I dont really want to go to a smaller caliper because my braking already sucks and that would make it even worse
