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.
