I honestly don't see what there is to gain by converting a 4x4 dually to a 1/2 ton?

First off you know the rules, you have been here long enough to know

2nd, do you mind explaining more how spending money to switch it to a 1/2 ton will be cheaper to use?

You could sell that front axle and pay for the entire swap,but honestly,I would NOT trade a D60 front axle for a 1/2t axle swap. You have 1 hell of truck the way it is. JMO
