Re: 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton swap help needed
Heavier frame, bigger brakes and axles, different shocks, wheels and tires, etc.

Re: 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton swap help needed
I just swapped from a 12 bolt dana 44 1/2 ton combo to a 14 bolt 44 3/4 ton combo. I kept the 1/2 ton springs only because I wasnt comfortable relocating the spring mounts on the frame, but I did add overloads. Both the 14 bolt and the eaton are full floaters I believe, which are stronger than the 12 bolt. I upgraded because I haul a lot of firewood, and last summer I had 2 cords on and bent the 12 bolt. I wanted heavy duty, but I had to upgrade what I had. Seems to be working so far.
