I think its easier to swap the whole cross member. The spindles arent a direct swap and you have to change A arms,tie rods,pitman. Where as 12 bolts and brake line and the whole thing rolls out.

Re: Need answer ASAP- 6 lug to 5
Do a search on here. There are many combos, using the entire assembly is one, or replacing the outer tie rods, upper and lower ball joint and spindle is another way...

About 10 bolts and the entire crossmember is out. That seems to be the easiest way, and the quickest way, to me.
