6 lug and 8 lug

I don't want to change the 6LUG to 8LUG because someday I want a D60
why dump money into something you're going to scrap eventually anyways? you'll never get anywhere near what you put into it, no matter how beefy you build it. its still a 10 bolt, and it still sucks.

I'm buying a new 10blt for the front and a new 14blt to replace the stock 12blt in the rear. I don't even know what the gears the guy has in the 10blt are but I know the 14blt has 4.56 gears. So I am going to bolt them both up with the new conversion u-joint in the back and the front is just a straight swap out because the stock is a 10blt. Once they are in I can drive it (in 2wd) to a shop and have 4.56 gears put in the front to match the rear. Then I am good to go RITE???? Other than I will have a different lug pattern 6 in front 8 in back.
if you're really set on going this route, why not buy an 8 lug 10 bolt, rather than the 6? then if you upgrade to a 60 later, you wont have to worry about buying new wheels/tires?

personally, i'd just suck it up and buy the 60 to begin with. no sense in spending money twice.
