8 to 6 Lug Conversion or Vice Versa

[zraffz]

Hey I have a 1997 K1500, rear blew and I picked up a matching ratio 14 bolt SF but it's an 8 lugger.

My question is what are my options for converting the rear to 6 lug or the front to 8 lug.

Do they make an 8 lug spindle for these year 1500s?
What would be involved in switching the 8 lug rear to 6 lug? (Can I just get axles from a 14b SF 6 lug out of a 1500)?

you can get a 14SF om 6 lug. That is what mine has. It is considered the F44 option. Even came with an extra leaf.

yes you can jut get the axles ,to do the front youd need the steering knuckles and the wheel hubs

Nobody makes an aftermarket wheel hub that is 8 lug but has the same spline?

I'm just going with a lug converter on the rear then. It will even out the stance anyway?
