You may have to cut up some U-bolts a little, a little foggy but I'm pretty sure you will. Shouldn't take much longer than 2-3 hours to do the swap

All you need to swap is the front. The rear is the same

only if the gearing is different in front to rear ... having an entire donor is nice ....

if your going from a twin I beam to D-60 ... theres some work to do ... i reacall someone telling me that the K member is different .... not real sure , but worth looking into further

What I'd the twin I beam the reason for the swap is the one thats in it I'm told will wear my tires crazy fast and although I did new wheel bearings ball joints and tie rod ends the tires still seam tipped in at the top

I have it ....... and no wear ... its all in the set up of the alignment ..... im running Cooper AT/3's and pro comp 3000's .... it rides great and for the small amount of time that I actually wheel the truck , it does awesome .... unless ur gonna rock climb .... I would just suggest getting a real good set up on the front end .... I also did the add a leaf, and I'm running 315/75/16's and no rubbing ....... if u can, go to 4 wheel parts and have them align ur truck, its spendy .... think I shelled iut 175 or so ..... much worth it as the tires were 1100.00 ........ minor expence with alignment
