Installing coilovers and DTSS eliminators tomorrow, what happens when i go 5 lug?

Well tomorrow the new JIC coilovers and DTSS eliminators go in....but the question that I have relates to the fact that I am still 4 lug.

I know the dtss eliminators go into the "spindle" but if I decide to go 5 lug later on, will I have to buy new dtss eliminators? Are the lugs on the actual spindle or just on a hub that is hydraulically pressed into the spindle?


Thanks

you are correct, those parts will be changed with the 5lug conversion. you may be able to press the DTSS bushings out of your current ones, and then back into the 5lug ones... otherwise you will have to just buy new ones.

Always a good idea to have another set of hubs lying around with fresh wheel bearings in em. They're cheap out of a wrecking yard.
