    Converting 1988 2500 6 lug to 8 lug 2wd

    Thanks for all that info. I think I done good. Picked up a full front end from a 98 2500 this weekend. A little rusty, but only 37k miles and new rotors/pads and shocks And a full set of wheels/tires in great shape. 500 bucks. Seems like njdot put a bunch of work into the truck and then sent...

    Converting 1988 2500 6 lug to 8 lug 2wd

    I have an 88 2500 (7200lb gvrw) 6 lug, 2wd truck. Already has a 14 bolt FF 8 lug rear. I need to get the front 8 lug to match. What's are my options for getting this done? I found plenty of info for going 6 to 8 lug on a 4wd, but not 2wd. Thanks
