    Converting to 5 on 5.5 for a ranger spindle

    I am going from the stock 5 on 4.5 lug pattern to a 5 on 5.5 for my 94 ranger with camburg custom beams. what spindle options do i have in order to make this happen ?

    i looked at a previous post about baker spindles but i believe that person was running the stock ranger lug pattern. i called baker but john is out of town for a week and no one at the shop could answer my question. any other suggestions are welcomed.

    jason have you considered having camburg build you a set of beams with the f150 end peices so that you can run the f150 spindle? that is what they did on the race truck. then you can just sell your beams. might be a pain in the butt but you will be upgrading to bigger brakes, bigger bearings, stronger parts, etc.

    I am in 100% support of going to the f 150 beams. Its unbreakable stuff on a normal prerunner. Its also 5 on 5.5"

    if you are going coil overs...just swap stock F150 beams on there and the spindle...save you tons of money. Pick that stuff up at a junk yard for under $200 and then bnuy new rotors, calipers, and bearing for another 100 or so.
