i ran 15" 3" backspace and ground the calipers and brackets and there was a lot left to not fell scared in the end like guys do on the 4.25 or deeper backspace grinding .

you should have done more reading and asking questions before this purchase . . just saying . you now down graded caliper size / rotor size / and tons of work also .

Your right ... I did read a lot but you don’t always find what your looking for. You seem like you know your stuff. So let me ask you a question and maybe you can tell me a trick. When I took my front axle apart the end of the axle shafts had a c-clip on them. Now putting all back together I can’t get that c-clip back on. I verified that the races and bearings were all seated. And I even tried to push on the shaft with a pry bar. I read abunch of forums with people saying “you don’t need the c-clip” and some say “I destroyed my spindle bearings”. So a lot of conflicting info. I do have the three seals that go on the shaft in the correct orientation. But I did notice if you take the middle plastic peice out with the inside taper off you can fit the clip. Let me know what you think.

I left my end snap ring off the axle shaft and never have had a issue. Been that way since 99.
