i want to convert to 5-lug, who makes a good brake kit for the rear that isnt super expensive and clears 15'' wheels? should i buy stock length axles or go with sn95 length. i am asking because i just bought a 31spline auburn and i want to get the axles but if im gonna buy them i dont wanna buy 4lug and in a year have to but new axles. could i stay with a drum setup and if so what would blot on.

You can stick with drums, using stock length fox axles with ranger/aerostar drums.

The ranger 5-lug axles have a 9" drum. So all you need to do is get the axles, go to the parts store and buy new drums for the ranger and you are all set.
