hmm, I'm actually in the middle of doing this myself. My reasons for doing it are that i need my truck back on the road ASAP and changing over my front to 8 lug, and buying new wheels / mounting my tries etc. would have taken too much time. Basically, yes it's possible. With some work. I am getting my adapters for my 14 bolt from TonyP (a member here). Just requires the hubs to be turned down a bit to fit the 6 lug rim, no biggie. My suggestion would be: Become a member, then PM him and ask him if he'll make you some /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I think the only things you would have to change on the 10bolt front axle are the rotor/hub and disk backing plate on the front.

If you want strike up a deal on swapping parts I need the 8lug backing plates /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif I'm in the same situation... 8lug rear and wheels but I have a 6lug front axle.

Ive 2 brand new 8 lug adapters sitting around. I had planned on using them but a Dana 60 all of a sudden came my way. I have been wanting to rid of them, I bought them from a member here for 200 including shipping.

i have a question about these things, how do they work, and do they like just bold up or what, does it work like a spacer and make your tires stick out more, im very interested, just dunno how they work...thanks

This is the post that originally got me interested in them, maybe it'll answer some Q's?
