That's exactly the issue the 14 bolt rear with it in the stock outboard spring location the brake backing plates are right where the springs want to sit. Everyone keeps mentioning rear disc conversion bit what I cannot confirm is if that gains me the extra clearance I need to leave the 715 factory outboard springs

Pull one drum and see where the rotor/caliper would mount. Some 1 ton axles have super wide drums.

By the way, didn't Lee Alessi mount a CUCV 14 bolt in his truck after converting to disks?

Here's the response from offroad design on my issue with there kit


The backing plate is removed, then 3/4" of spacer goes on top of the
flange on the axle and then the actual bracket goes on top of that.
Honestly, if you can get the springs between the backing plates, discs
should fit.


As far as Lee using cucv axles I'm not sure what's his user name?

Lee is long gone.

Well I've looked over everything on the issue of mounting a gm srw dana 60 front. Since the springs are directly under the frame on the m715 in the front axle location not outboard i think it should work by moving and reeling the spring perches.

I'm running a axle out of a one ton chevy express van. Direct bolt in, I have disk brakes on all corners, and the van axle has a government locker in it. I made a bracket under the cab to connect the original parking brake lever and rod to the rear cables. Parking brake works good and my truck will stop on a dime.
