5 lug swap question

So I haven't really found an answer to my question and have searched. My question is, if I do install toe eliminators and then do a 5 lug swap am I going to be swapping those bushings again into another spindle? I figure the hubs are removable but you never know. As for the swap itself the difference in the rear brakes between the gxl and t2 is the mounts and the discs being vented right?

Thanks

wait till you do your 5 lug swap to install the toe elim bushings, save you some work and the risk of needing to buy a second set of bushings

So then the actual hub is seperate from the spindle? I got the whole saving time and do it all at once but I am doing my suspension now and lug swap when I can get rims and tires, etc.

Yes the hubs are Separate from the spindles..the best Option In My Experience of Doing Five Lug Swaps,Is to get the Whole Assemblies..that is,get the Hub And Spindles/Brakes and Brackets,Etc, that Pertain to the Five lug Stuff,and Put the DTSS Bushings on the spindle assembly that Came with the Five lug Stuff.The Damn things are Hard to put in,so Really you Save ALOT of Time Doing it Just Once.
