x2 just buy new u bolts and swap it over the rear drive shaft may have to do shortened or use the rear shaft out of the other truck if will work?
cool thanks
easy swap, check your gear ratios, if your lucky ya won't even have to swap the front axle just the hubs if both trucks have the same gear ratios... save your back a lil wear n tear!!

I would rather swap whole axles than hubs any day.

why? if its got the same gears its the same axle just different bolt pattern... seems easyer and cheaper to swap hubs over?
When we gonna start this operation?
i wish that would be the case but the 1/2 ton has 3.08's and the 3/4 ton has 4.56's so im afraid ill have to do both:(
i ll take the 3/4 and the 4.56 over the half tons
soon hockey guy soon

i just always seem to mess up something small every time i do a hub swap and ruins my day when we go out.
