It's a pain to do the conversion. You may still have to have everything pressed apart and back together into your ADD spindles if you want to keep the ABS.
When I did this one of my spindles was destroyed while pressing out the bearing. I had to purchase a brand new spindle from the dealership. It was like $300.

I used these instructions for pointers along the way. Real good write-up. As stated above, it's not real hard if you don't have to mess with swapping the hubs/bearings over for ABS. Should be an easy swap.

I will research the number of kits I can come up with. Perhaps I can find one more. The kit includes everything you need, except for new C-clips.
Keep in mind, my kit will NOT allow you retain ABS without modifying the spindles and axles. It is a bolt on kif for Non-ABS vehicles, but will work in ABS vehicles if you disregard the ABS system.

WOW so many requests!!!
Like i said above guys, i only have one left, and right now its on reserve to Dave??? (i dont know your yotatech name since you called Nix99 personally??!!)
When more kits become available, i will post them on here.
calg3-Yes, the kit does include factory aisin hubs...all parts are factory parts
steelhead-i ought to be payin ya lol...lots of requests! Last time i posted up about conversions on here, no one responded!!
Mr Bob-It may be a while before we get one in with less than 60k...manual hub trucks with low miles is raaaare. usually they range 75-125k miles.
Fear not, i will keep all these names saved and at the ready, once I get more kits. If Dave does not end up purchasing the kit, next in line would be Aaron, then Mr Bob.
