NAPA, as far as I know all you need are the outers.

Find a 3/4 ton 10bolt or D44 and take off everything from the knuckle out...
Backing plate
Spindle
Hub/rotor assembly
and lockouts
You can reuse your 1/2 ton calipers
All of this stuff just bolts right up to your axle...If you have any questions you can PM or email me [email protected] (I've done this swap like 6 times

Look at the tech section of the main page. Its really easy, If you have changed your rotors before its basically the same thing! just you put a new backing plate and 8 lug rotor/hub on
thanks! good to hear its not to complex
No problem, but if you grab junkyard parts atleast spend a few bucks and get new wheel bearings

You dont need new lockouts, your old ones will still fit.
One thing to look for is if you find a 10b with the 8 lug you only need the backing plate, and hub/rotor assembly.
But if you find a D44 there are 2 different sized outer bearings so make sure you see which one it is and if it is the smaller version you need the spindals also.
