Im not 100% sure of this but i think the 3/4 ton spindle has a larger axel shaft than a 1/2 ton this is why it will handle heavier loads.

ball joints are different....find a donor truck, change the spindles and lower control arms

Buy a set of 3/4 ton drop spindles from early classic they are made to take the 5 lug rotors and use your existing a arms,ball joints and steering links...plus you get a 2 1/2" drop.
