Re: five lug front conversion
Welcome to the board from South Mississippi! When he converted it to 3/4 ton did he change the control arms or just the spindles?

Re: five lug front conversion
About the only difference between 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks are the springs, spindles, and rear axles. If you're wanting to convert to 1/2 ton 5 bolt then swap in 1/2 ton springs, spindles. Of course you'll have to change the rear end to 5 bolt too if you want it to match. Pretty simple swap. You don't HAVE to change the front crossmember but a lot of guys do.
