4x4 suburban wheel offsets

[jdaniel]

If you are going to swap out to 8 lug wheels, I have a question about that. I have a 3/4 ton 4x4 with 8 lug wheels, I want to change to 6 lug, in the front can I put a 1/2 ton 4x4 6 lug brake rotor on and be done? Checking on "RockAuto", it says the wheel bearings are the same!

I changed out the steering knuckle from the 8 lug, with the 6 lug and then the rest of the way out with 6 lug equipment. 6 lug brakes, calipers, etc. I think I also swapped the axle shafts but only because I had already replaced the u-joints and didn't want to do that again.
