For the fronts with c5 or ls1 calipers we have 2 options.
Option 1 is to use your stock spindle and trim the ears off. Once you do that you bolt a custom bracket that goes from the original caliper bolt holes and spaces out where your new caliper would go to accommodate the larger rotor. For a hub, you can buy them from Wilwood or have your stock rotors turned down into just hubs. USE LOCTITE ON THE BRACKET BOLTS OR THEY WILL BACK OUT.
Option 2 is to get 2wd blazer spindles which bolt right up. They have sealed hubs so there's nothing you have to do there. Also, no cutting those spindles. The bracket bolts right on
