On the front they redrill the rotors and weld and redrill the hub assembly.
On the back they redrill the drums/rotors and weld and redrill the axle.
With the screw-in studs installed they charged me around $360. This price included all machine work, new studs and shipping back to me. It cost me a little over $100 to ship due to the weight.

Just like stated.. The rear axles can be bought from moser. You need to have rotors,re drilled, a set of front hubs done. I managed to pick up like new front hubs off ebay OEM gm for 55 buks.. I also have had the front stock rotors plugged and re drilled. Still have to get my axles and rear rotors done.. Axles from moser are like 285..

Did you find 5 lug hubs that will fit our trucks or just another set of the OEM 6lugs.

Was this for the machine work on the front hubs AND rear drums/rotors?
