Hey guys I'm doing the same swap. I bought the same 60mm spacers, although the spacers are not sitting flush on the flange , should I expect this or do I need to make the circle diameter bigger ? Help!

Nothing yet so far . Been waiting still. The shop still needs to figure out how they're gonna drill and ream it . So nothing yet so far [emoji52]. I will be posting about it once it does get done

I havent really moved or done anything in past several months , but I actually just recently talked too the guy at the off road shop who's doing the job for me, he's going to ream out the tapered hole to fit my ball joint . He wanted a comparison between my spindal vs the astro's too see if any...
Planning on doing the same thing ! I have the moonie gauges, wondering how you are gonna hook up the factory speedo? Or you going to run aftermarket?

Yeah I dont mind the extra width . Yeah ! If you look at my top post you'll see what I'm doing. I got my steering knuckles off a 2005 2 wheel drive astro work van . I guess all late model Astros are 6 lug , they came with gmt 800 front brakes
