I've already got these plans in the works as soon as money comes in to do it. The studs are on the rotors for the front, so that's just a matter of swapping the rotors. as for the rear, like ohohsilverado said. Just change the axles.

I do still have mine. I drove daily with a 348 rwhp and even hauled up to 1000 lbs in the bed. No problems whatsoever. I even slapped my 17x11 ZR1 wheels on for the strip. No problems at all. The two piece adapters torque on at the factory spec - 95 -100 lb ft. The cool thing about adapters is that you can take them off and put the factory wheels back on for heavy hauling.
I'd take $270 shipped if you wanted them.

Well, as far as the axles go I can get them for just under $300 for the pair. I haven't checked on the front rotors yet. Still trying to decide if I want to use the OBS rotors or just go ahead and upgrade rotors and do my brakes at the same time. It's not gonna be cheap, but I don't plan on getting rid of the truck. Already talked with SSBC and they won't do any rotors for me, but they do them for street rods so go figure Due to the tech support I received from SSBC I'm going to do a custom Wilwood setup with 6 Piston Calipers and their rotors up front, and their 4 Piston Calipers and rotors out back. So it looks like I'll be spending close to $2k for everything.
