IF these spindles were on a 3/4-ton balljoint,... they won't work on a 1/2-ton balljoint.
Is the upper balljoint also a 3/4-ton balljoint?
Is the outer tie rod different also?

Maybe the burb was converted to 1/2-ton.

Either the burb has conversion spindles like ECE sells, (even though I don't see their name on these),...
or someone has taken a reamer to the lower hole to allow the use of a larger 3/4 ton ball joint, on a 1/2 ton truck.
