99 up spindle fitment?

Will they work? Will they need reaming or is the ball joint for those trucks smaller than the squares? Found a good deal on some factory 07 20's(love that style) and I need a total rebuild for the front and get rid of this open highway geared rear end. Soooo I was thinkin of junk yard cruzin for new spindles and rearend and swapin for the six lug pattern for the wheels.

I kinda doubt they will work because the 99 up trucks have rack and pinion and im not sure which side of the spindle the steering arm is on.Why not just have your hubs and rotors redrilled to the bolt pattern you want and do the rear axles too.

The rear you could just swap out with a 4x4 rear an get the six lug for the rear as for the front you can just get some new 6 lug rotors an put them on

All you realy need are wheel adapters, those stock 20's have a lot of backspace and the adapters will help with that too.
