One more thought their is also a small bracket that the brake line
attaches to that would have to be changed and you will need to make a new
bracket for the emergency brake cable. This can be done by welding a flat
piece of metal to a muffler clamp and then assembling it to the axle. Dito
for the anti sway bar brackets. When I said it wouldn't alter the heigth I
thought you ment just swaping the front hubs.
