... I know Brian Ellinger's kit with dual tapered roller bearings is much less likely to have this issue.


Is Brian associated with Front Range Off Road Fabrication? I am somewhat familiar with their full floating rear kit. I'd like to know if there is another. -- Matt

One in the same, sorry for the confusion. The only other conversion I know of is definitely 'kit' form (a euphemism for, 'figger it out the hard way'), buying a one ton FF axle and converting it to a disk.

Brian's / FRORF's kit is almost a shake-the-box kit (a euphemism for 'real easy') requiring a few other parts (like calipers, I would use the '85 front calipers and rotors if I were you, and figure out the ebrake, perhaps using All-Pro's ebrake). It is very well made, as are all things FRORF in my experience so far.
