Ok
Now I understand.
The fronts you just need what I said before, lower arms (although you may want to swap uppers also) and spindle/rotor/caliper. You might also need the steering components, drag link, tie rods, and idler. I'm not sure if the tapers are different.

On the rear, you need to measure the width of the frame at the front and rear spring hangers and compare those measurments to your 1/2 ton frame. If they are the same you will need the hangers from the box van. The dually hangers are typically shallower to move the leaf springs closer to the frame.
