i have read about that but im trying to keep it down to just changing the spindle if i can. im in australia so parts from an S10 and the likes i would have to import from the states and postage is a big killer even with small things so id hate to say what it would cost me to get them here

They don't make drop spindles for a luv, only thing you have to do if you are wanting to keep it 6 lug is to Z the frame
