I was reading on another forum that a guy used 1 ton lift spindles and switched to 8 lug. Any info on swapping to 8 lug? Of course the rear end is easy enough

do you know whats different about the lift spindles, for 1/2 tons , and 1 tons? If there the same then all you need is different rotors that are 8 lug, if there different then you need 1 ton lift spindles, and 8 lug rotors.
