cheapest and easiest way to convert to 6 lug?

[DocLong]

92 RCSS 2wd. Wanting to convert to 6 lug. I'm reading a lot of different things. Which is option is cheapest, but still somewhat correct?

1988 3500 2wd front rotors?
weld and drill stock rotors?

I thought if I went to 3500 rotors then I need the W/T or 3500 spindles, no?

Thanks in advance.

Talk to Hunter (00hunter04oo). he used a stock 4wd rear axle and 6 lug 2500 (light duty?) hubs from autozone.

There are a couple ways you can do it but it would help to know why you want to. You can swap over to a 6 lug (2500) front rotor but you might have to swap over to a hd spindle. The easiest way to check what spindles you have is to measure the thickness of the rotors on your truck now. 1" thick rotors are "light duty" and 1.25" thick rotors are "heavy duty". The rear you can try and find a 2wd 6 lug 2500 which is the same width as the rear end thats on your truck now. Or you can put a 4x4 rear axle in your truck but they are 3 inches wider than a 2wd axle which means you will need spacers for the front.
