Need suspension help, swap 3/4 to 1/2

[Boones]

I posted this in another area but thought I would try it here also.

I just bought a 2000 chevy crew cab shortbed and I want to replace the 3/4 ton suspenion with 1/2 ton so I can get a 5 lug suspenion for better wheel and tire choses. I plan to drop this thing pretty hard.

Does anyone know if the factory A-arms are the same (so all I have to do is swap the spindles and rotors) it the 1/2 ton A-arms will fit (swap the entire front suspension?)

I think the 1/2 ton rear is probbly a straight forward swap with the 3/4 ton set up

Thanks
