1 ton and 3/4 ton ball joints the same size?

Does anybody know if the 1 ton and 3/4 ton balljoints are the same? The reason i ask is because i was looking at ECE's spindles and they list a conversion spindle for a 3/4ton to use 1/2 ton rotors and brakes and so on, but keep the 3/4 ton control arms.

It doesnt say anything about the 1 tons but if i remeber right the ball joints should be the same between 3/4 ton and 1 ton. Does anybody know for sure?


These spindles sure would make it alot less work for a conversion.

The last time I checked on my 1-ton,... they were the same.
I actually have a set of thoses ECE conversion spindles in the box.
That was my plan as well,... for the 1/2 ton conversion.
