D44 6 to 8 lug swap

[rolereversal]

I just want to make sure all I need to do the swap is hubs calipers and rotors correct? TIA

You also need the caliper brackets (mounts).

Is it the same for a 10 bolt?

Yes, 10 bolt is the same deal.

Cool just scored a 14bolt for the rear and Im not patient enought to wait for a bigger front. Free is a good price for a 14 bolt right?

The swap is way easy. backing plate rotors and calipers. Bolts right up. also on the 14b you can go disk too for super cheep. If you are running 15" wheels you are going to have to grind the pee pee out of the front calipers and hangars. have fun.

Yea. Im planning on doing the rear disks before I install it. Just cant make up my mind if I want to wait for a bigger front axle to come along or just convert the front and gear it...

You don't need different calipers, 6-lug and 8-lug versions are the same!
