Disc brake conversion

[9 LIVES]

I've seen a couple kits out there to convert my dana 80 from drum to disk brakes.

Does anyone know if you run disc brakes in the rear if you can fit 15" rims in the back ? I want to run 15" wheels to get a better selection in tires for drag racing.

even with disc's I think 15's are too small to fit... I know my stock 16" wheels were very close from the factory.

I am trying to figure out the same thing for 15" wheels and think that i will have to swap out axle to make it happen

i just used a 3/16ths spacer and bolted the 15" steelies on back of my old 98

Never done a 80 but ive done a 14 bolt, you just have to run more offset in your wheels so they dont rub the caliper.

i found these guys but not sure if they have anything for the 80.
