3/4 ton spindles on to 1/2 ton

[1637]

i have a 82 two wheeldrive with 12.50 x33x15 tires,is there a eazy way but 3/4 ton spindle on and keep my same 5 lug wheels,i think i can bore out my hubs for the 3/4 ton bearings but what do i do about the caliber????/

Are you trying to run 33's on the front? Swapping the spindles won't help with the clearance issues. Swapping in some 3/4 ton springs might make the front end sit higher. I'm not to familiar with the wheel bearings on 2wd's, so I don't know if they are the same between 1/2 and 3/4. I would not suggest boring out the hubs. Calipers are the same between 1/2, 3/4 and 2/4 wheel drive.

The only benefit I can think of would be an extra inch of brake rotor, but it's really not worth the trouble. I don't see the point.

you need everything from a 3/4 ton 2wd truck, spindles, springs, control arms, etc. Everything is different.

And he won't keep the five lug, which is what he is after.

Your hubs will handle the 33" tires fine.
