[QUOTE="Bebop, post: 721978, member: 5925"] To go 8 lugs on the F450/550 outer you have to swap the UB's with a set from a 250/350. When you do that, the stock 450/550 brakes don't fit anymore. The only people I know running the F450/550 outers run pinion brakes because of that. And I don't want to run pinion brakes. Yes and no. Yes because hopefully it works and the bell fits. But this hasn't been verified yet. I should be able to confirm this week soon. The problems I see are: - It requires machining - Does the bore has to be open so much to fit the bell that it doesn't center the UB properly anymore ??? - The upper BJ eliminators are needed anyway as the stock upper BJs are weak and bent. They are installed without any machining, so anyone could install them. - Popping the orange dome on and off, in position, in the knuckle is going to be a major pita. I'd rather remove 2 bolts (upper and lower axis) and just remove the knuckle in one shot. You could even leave the UB and brakes on the knuckle and just remove the whole deal in 1 shot to access the shafts. [/QUOTE]
