Yes they swap easily, I replied in your other post. Let me know if I can help in any way.
As far as interchangable parts, the only thing I have found is from the backplates out. If you have the 3 inch brakes, this is a cheap upgrade because the 10 bolts are 2.75 in brakes, and the drums, shoes, and hardware are alot cheaper. 2.75 drums are about half the cost of 2 in drums and easier to find. The spring perches and shock mounts are identical
