So its been a couple years since i did this swap, ive used my front lockers 100s of times (not an exaggeration) and its held up pretty well, only signs of wear is drivers side axle seal and it seems to be leaking a bit of diff fluid and its leaking a bit from bottom of case, other than that no cracks or any visual wear on the case, as for suspension im running an rcd 6 inch lift, this weekend i will be going to the junkyard and picking up some forged lower control arms off a k2500, they should be direct bolt on and only diffference is is that stamped lca and forged lca use different ball joints, appearantly forged lca use bigger ball joint, but from my research the lower ball joint should still bolt up to stock knuckle. also i use mevotech ttx ball joints, lower and upper, and these ball joints have about 2 years of aggresive offroading and no sign of boot tears or no slop or play in them, i highly recommend these ball joints,Doing this swap. Did you take the suspension over also or keep the 6 bolt hubs and control arms? I have a 6" Fabtech lift. Want to swap all of the 1 ton stuff over. Happy to buy aftermarket/performance components. Swapping to RTVs and looking at options for the 1ton arms etc. Curious what you did. Steering upgrades too. Will move to a 40" tire from the 37s also
