I have a 3/4 ton front Axle with locking hubs. It has an 8 Lug, The Back Axle as I know is a GM Corporate 14 Bolt with a 3.73 Gear Ratio and is a 1/2 ton, Like I have said this rig has never been off road, However, I don't know what any of this really means, A friend of mine has said that having a 1/2 ton axle is the way to go, but I am not sure how to come about this. Is there anyway I could Have some Help to figure this stuff out?
