Does this make your front tires have a wider stance like the EMS and other kits do. This is the only reason I havent done their kits yet , don't dig that at all. Wating for a kit that will keep the fron track with the same as factory. Some pics would be sweet , and approx cost if one was to buy all the items at the parts store.

I know this thread is a little bit older, but I thought I'd comment on this. The EMS does not use Ford hubs, it uses a hub they make. That being said, EMS track width should be the same as stock. DLX Fab is the one that uses Ford parts and is about 1.5" wider track width. This swap should be comparable to that. It should add a little over 1" to each side. If you used shorter spindles and hubs it would make it track narrower, but then you're going to be doing alot more fab work to make the brakes work and you would need a custom length stub shaft.

The hubs I have definitely look like OEM pieces, they aren't nearly as shiny and smooth looking like the EMS pictures on their site. That being said, my kit is 1.5 years old and things could change. They didn't have their spin tec hubs out when I bought mine. I do have a Ford HP D60 currently in the back of my truck. When it gets nicer, I'll have a closer look and maybe some measurements to see if they are the same pieces.

Hmm, it could be that the one you have has Ford hubs. I bought a kingpin D60 from the owner of EMS just before he started the business (He's only about 1.5hrs away). At the time he had somewhat developed the free spin kit and was going to try and start selling them. At the time he was using Ford components and was originally targeting Superdutys for the first kits.
