41/53dodges Posted January 23, 2015 Report Posted January 23, 2015 Morning guys, My brother recently got me a better rear axle for my big WF32 up north, (3.73 gears, posi, disk brakes, etc) with 8 lug hubs on it. Short of cutting and fabbing my own hub spacers I cant figure how to work with the big 5 lug pattern! Any ideas? I was ccontemplating modding some dually hub spacers to do the trick, but that would require welding spacers... Quote
William Davey Posted January 23, 2015 Report Posted January 23, 2015 Could a machine shop drill the hub/drums to match the 5 bolt pattern? Quote
41/53dodges Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Posted January 24, 2015 I looked into that, unfortunately the 8 lug pattern is required for the brake rotors and also impedes on the big 5 bolt pattern. only thing I could think of is to actually cut and weld together some spacers out of junkyard parts, but welding something that heavy is kinda hard to get any good heat into it...

Pre-heat the part(s). Quote
