I know many that have gone this route, and it was something I considered as well. The wheel bearing would still be an issue and fitment of Ron's adapter kits were another question mark.
These spindles use a C7 hub which is stout and inexpensive to replace at the same time which takes the bearing part out of question. And Ron has worked out all of the geometry to make sure his kits adapt the Stoptech brakes to these spindles with no issues.
This was never about me finding a cheap way to upgrade the brakes, it was much more about finding the easiest way to put the best brakes possible on Barney while optimizing not only the camber gain, but the steering geometry at the same time.
Time was also a factor, I have a very small window to get this swap done while I still have a lift and a shop to work on it in. Taking unknowns out of the equation helped make the decision to press the buy button now and get started.
