It's cheaper and easier to swap to single wheel, keeping your 8 lug and towing capacity. And like I said earlier, there are prolly more options for 8 lug than 6 lug.

Phoenix AZWhat state are you in ? Iam in Sacramento California
I'm not seeing the need for a 6-lug conversion here. Do the rims you want only come in a 6-lug design? If not stick with 8. Just swap rims and rotors up from to SRW, and then swap in a SRW 14BFF and rims for the rear.... Done (well except for the bed).
It's almost like you're equating 6-lug with SRW and 8-lug with DRW.... that's simply not correct.
By the way, OP mentioned about using 6 lugs due to wheel choice.
I've done over limit on 1/2 ton towing and he will be fine with his basic towing on the heavy half 6 lug or 8 lug 2500 axle.
Finding a ccsb 6 lug doest exist. So, this is his alternate.
What is the most I can tow with the heavy half 6 lug rear end ?
Depends on who you ask.
7k-8k, you'll be allright.Iam thinking maybe I'll be towing weight wise with trailer and vehicle max 8k anything bigger ibe got diesel buddys. My 98 k1500 tow a 4x4 2 Door Tahoe lifted on 35s from Tracy ca to Sacramento ca just fine did 55 the while way home didn't miss a beat. So that would be the most I'd do with this setup if u do this swap.
7k-8k, you'll be allright.
By the way, made mistake, heavy half is with 8 lug, not 6 lug.
