that crossmember trimming you have there in the first pic... is that to clear the truck pan or Fbody pan? is the pan modified after that clearancing?
i really dont like how small the stump is on the modded truck pans.. and i dont like how the pan is slightly lower then the Kmember.... id rather run my Fbody pan, and mod the chassis.. if its not much more chopping then that.

Well it depends on the vehicle you got I'm gonna assume by your handle you got a '97 sonoma so that means you got the traditional style spindles. So you would need the hubs and brackets from Ed Miller (the guy I used) I'll get the info so you can contact him. My truck just needed a bracket 'cause I have the sealed hubs from the factory Blazer spindles. All I had to do was some clearancing and bolt on the calipers. My front end set up was prolly the cheaper of the two set ups I bought some used Vette calipers and carriers from a local Vette shop for sit down $75 for the pair. The rebuild kits were like $25 for the pair the brackets were $150 the rotor were $150 for the pair new. The total swap front and rear was about $900.
