Re: 1/2 ton to either 3/4 or 1 ton swap
3/4 ton 14bolt full floater....BOLT IN. Simply the best/beefy axle you could put in there for the rear axle. Front would be a Dana 60. Stock in K30's but you also need to get the spring plates with the axle because they are different than the 1/2 and 3/4 ton stuff. Oh and stick with the single rear wheel width stuff (front and rear) unless you want to run H1 beadlocks. The dually front axle has a different front track width (hubs out). 1 ton 14 bolts have the spring mounts in a different spot than the 1/2 and 3/4 tons so unless you want to burn new mounts on find a 3/4 ton version. Both 3/4 and 1 ton full floater 14 bolts are 10.5" ring gears and are virtually identicle (except for the spring mounts)....3/4 ton 14's are just easier to swap.
