X53Gunner Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I have a one ton that i'm going to be getting rid of the rear dually set up and swapping axles. I want to lower the whole truck and found someone that can drop the ibeam for me and I was wondering if the front Ibeam is the same on all of these trucks 1/2 ton 1 ton. Also is the bolt pattern the same as the jeep axles people are swapping into the rears or can I swap out the front hubs to match the jeep bolt pattern? Hope this made sense. Thanks guys!!!!!

Looznutz Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I dont know of the front axle being the same on 3/4 and 1 ton but I do know that the bolt pattern is 6 by 5 1/2 or the same as the old Chevy and Fords. Hope this helps. I just bought a 48 truck and the gentleman whom I bought the truck from gave a parts book I will ck about the axle and let you know. Ed.

Looznutz Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Well I looked at the parts book and it says that the 1/2,3/4, and 1 ton use the same axle. The difference is on the brakes. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looznutz Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Well I was not confortable with the answer I gave so to make sure u did more research and turns out the bolt pattern is 7 1/4 by 6. Only power wagon and 1 ton and above have them. Sorry for earlier mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
