Just wondering what the bolt pattern measurement is on a lone star with disk brakes front and rear? I am getting the currie 9 inch rearend.

Thanks

My Currie bought with my Comp LS427 came with "5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern. Same with the front spindles. Very common "Ford" lug pattern. Easy to find wheels for. You'll like the Currie setup!
It is very user freindly and bolts to the Lone Star chassis like a champ.

Thats correct. 5 on 4.5. I have a currie also. I'm going to narrow the rear so I can get more rubber on a 10" wheel. Be SURE to check back spacing & height !

Letzbang,

Are you getting the rear powder coated?

If yes, you will need to run a sizing drill through the holes you will use for the four link. If not, you will be spending a lot of time trying to get your bolts through the holes.

I suggest you find a nice grade 8 bolt supplier as well. Grade five is good, but, in this case, grade 8 should be used to attach the rear to the chassie.

Did you get the shocks?

Just my $0.02

Well,

actually I bought a kit from somebody that didnt finish it. They had the stage 1. which is the chassis and the suspension pieces. No they did'nt get the chassis powder coated or the rear end so I didnt have to worry about that. They already had all the suspension pieces on it as well. I just went over everything and started from there.
I need to go to Lone star next and get the next stage..
I do have the upgraded shocks, and also The bolts for the suspension were upgraded to grade 8, just to be safe...
