if you dont like the wider look you can put in a 14 bolt ff out of a 1 ton truck and it will bolt right up. or you can put one in from a 3/4 ton truck but you have to move the spring mnts on the axle to match your spring width on your frame.

someone correct me if im wrong

heres some pics of mine... still need to cut the back of the frame to get the bed to sit right
This is correct. All One ton trucks used a spring perch width that is more narrow than the 1/2 and 3/4 tons. So you will either need a Single wheel FF14 Bolt from a one ton or one from a 3/4 ton and move the perches. Make sure you dont get a cab and chassis FF14 bolt as they will move your wheels inward so far they will rub the inside of the wheel tubs. The wheels mounting surface width on the axle you're looking for is 67.5".
