[@r0j0d0j0]

Many thanks for the vids and information, saves me tons of time. On the drivetrain stage of my RCLB build, watching these convinced me to run 6 lug, byproduct of that is better wheel selection so I can move up to 22s and discs all around. Cheers!

I dig the wheels the truck is clean as hell but some reason I can’t bring myself to do the 6 lug conversion on my obs mainly because I have 5-6 sets of wheels for my truck hahah but my favorite is my rallies off a c10 and I know there is rallies for the 6 lug ... anyways you are one of the very few I have seen on KZbin that actually takes time and pride to clean everything

[@bowdwn03]

When you did your conversion, do the front wheels stick out farther then the back? Or are they flush with the back?

[@LowLifeYonkes]

No they are the same as the back ...... front and back wheels are tucking

[@prettyuglee]

Great video, just wondering I have a 8 lug gmc obs will this still work?

[@LowLifeYonkes]

I believe you have a 14 bolt 2500 or 3500 this would not work for this application axels are different length and spline count and drums are different too .....it might be possible but I don’t think so 🤔

[@laleyendatattoobizz6084]

What tire size u running and what drop are going to put on that truck ?. I got a OBS that’s 4/6 dropped, I want to go with a set up similar to yours but am worried about turning issues . Any info would be great . Thanks

[@LowLifeYonkes]

Tire size is a 255/30/R22 and it’s a 4/7 drop but the front is coming down just to even it out and I have hi jacker air shocks In the rear when all the air is out it’s about 9” drop in rear. I’m waiting for parts to do the front a video will be up soon !

[@AbstractDreamz]

I wonder if this can be done to convers my 84 C20 crossmember from 8 lug to 6 lug. It is for my 72 Blazer 4x4 to 2wd conversion. I want to keep the 6 lug wheels.

[@LowLifeYonkes]

Good question bro I’m sure it could be converted but i haven’t seen any one do it yet or so a how to ….. thanks for watching I appreciate it

[@gregnig3]

So basically when you fill out the order form you will only have to measure the flange diameter of the 6 lug and the length of the 5 lug to make it work? everything else is the same on both axles?

[@LowLifeYonkes]

Everything else is the same I would make sure before you order and do your own measurements but yes your correct

[@deeznuttz7980]

[@jazzman8690]

Hey bro, I wanna do this same conversion on my 97 c1500. It's stock height. If I were put oem 16" alloys with, say, 245/75/16s, would there be issues with front tire rub on tight turns? Or would the locks still stop them from turning too far

[@LowLifeYonkes]

Yea that’s fine it will work no rubbing u night have to trim the lower control arm depending on how low you go but that’s it

[@ryhno7781]

I also converted my Obs to 6 lug and have the transport wheels on a 5/8 drop but my tires bottom out on my inner fender splash shields .What did you do to the front fender inner wells. Did you tub them?

[@LowLifeYonkes]

No strong springs and shocks that’s it my tie rod ends would hit the frame sometimes but tires never rubbed

[@meanpaintandbody]

Arfe hte rotors 1" or 1.25" im trying to slam mine and swap to 6 lug but the kit i want ask for a specific rotor says v6 has a 1" rotor and v8 has 1.25" but other places say that only the 454 chevy had 1.25" rotors

[@LowLifeYonkes]

The rotors are for different years I believe it’s 88-92 takes the 1” rotor and the 93-98 takes the 1.25 if ur going 6 lug u need the 93-98 and it’s easier to search for drop spindles and rotors for a c2500 light duty

[@meanpaintandbody]

@@LowLifeYonkes I checked on rock auto and they have 7200 lb rotors and 8200 any idea
