After a year od talking about it I am finally going to do it Hahah!
Does someone know of a write up to do the 5 lug swap on my fox.
And if there isn't a list of parts needed, that as well.
Thank you in advance!

The very first thing you need to know is what wheels you intend to run, specifically width.
The second is your budget and what parts you want (ie. New/junkyard,refurbished)
The front is easy, 94/95 spindles and either 99-04 V6/Gt 11" pbr dual piston calipers or Cobra 13" (didn't mention 94-98 calipers as they are single piston cast iron)
For the front you will need the 94/95 spindles and either ball joint spacers or replace ball joints with sn95 ball joints. Calipers, with either stock hoses and Weatherhead 7828 adapter for passenger side hose to metal line adaption or recommended MaximumMotor sports conversion steel braided hoses.
For the rear disc or drum ?
For quick drum conversion 2 left Ranger axles and drums.
For disc I always recommend NorthRaceCars rear axle and bracket kit to keep fox width (important if running wide wheels in rear), these axles also have the correct hub diameter to center the brake rotor on axle.
I have some extremely nice front conversion parts such as refurbished 94/95 spindles and Cobra front brake packages.

Listen to this guy, he knows what he's talking about. I used a cobra rear end on my fox so I had to change my axles/brake brackets(for fox width) and change my master cylinder and brake booster. I actually bought my front spindles off of him and they are nothing short of perfect condition.

I just got mine done like 3 months ago.
94-95 Spindles
99-04 PBR calipers
99-04 Rotors
94-95 Ball joints
MM Stainless brake lines to 87-93 into 99-04 calipers
Brake fluid
Ranger axels
LMR 5 lug drums
Gear oil
Gasket cover
More
MM tapers bumper steer
Energy suspension Links
Eibach Sports lines
Eibach Pro dampers sturts and shocks
SVE CC plates
Need to get alignment
Fr500 black chrome 18x10 all the way around rubs in front
Info don't strip the brake fitting make sure you heat them up because I didn't and bought brake wrenches still stripped. Pain in the ass but got it done.
You going to need a ball joint seperater (pickle fork) and a ball joint removal tool from autozone.
Only thing I'm not getting fluid in the drums. Pump them nothing. Probably going to tow it to my school and use the air brake fluid tool to see if fluid comes out. Suspension is going to get alighnment as well. May be it needs wheel cylinders.
My cost around 2k with everything above. Rims and tires were pricey.
