Re: 6 lug to 5 lug adapters
You're probably gonna get replies saying that they're unsafe. So, before they come let me add this....
I had 2" (6 to 6) adapters front & rear on my c-30 dump truck so that I could use modern wheels. It rode great and I loaded it up very heavy frequently. So, Maybe some consider them unsafe, but I never had a problem.

Re: 6 lug to 5 lug adapters
Thanks for the positive replies. I'm thinking about going that route. Too expensive to swap everything out to IFS and new rear end.
