    Never heard of this :confused:

    The eye to eye measurement is the same as the 6 lug?

    Except they are not the "same packs". While the leafs might be the same thickness and width, the arch on a base 5lug is not the same as the arch on a 6lug prerunner/4wd.

    My response was referring to the difference of 6 lug 2wd vs. 6 lug 4x4 packs, they are the same. I thought this is what he was asking but now I'm not sure.

    As for the arch being different, this is the reason for the question I asked, which is are the eye to eye measurements the same between the two packs (5 lug pack you have and a 6 lug packs). If not I wouldn't think using these 5 lug packs would be a good idea.

    My response came after you posted that prior response to mine. They fit, us 5lug guys use 6lug leafs to lower as the arch is smaller on the 6lug due to SOA setup on the 6lugs. Eyelet to eyelet is a matter of a 1/16th off at most. A little muscle will get them in. I am currently sitting on 6lug leafs as they lower 5lugs 1.5-2".
