14 bolt swap?
I have a 1988 K10 Suburban that I'm swapping 3/4 ton axles into, the front I know will be plug and play, but the back will need at a minimum, a conversion U joint, does anyone know if I will be able to use my stock driveshaft, or have it shortened? the truck is stock, without a lift.
Thanks- Eric |
Re: 14 bolt swap?
For the front all you have to do is swap the rotors and backing plates, that is unless, there is a ratio difference. And the rear shaft will need to be taken to the d-line shop and reworked

Theoretically, you are going in the right direction but say it will fit without modification....hard to say. Each truck is a little unique. I would suggest getting all new u-joints regardless, and Spicers is all I use. If you have a driveline shop do it, they might just check the balance too while installing. My shop gave me free install, if I bought new u-joints from them. A little more expensive than on-line, but then again, I was getting a local shop do the work and a bonus, balancing the shaft too. I just did my 3/4 ton Yukon XL driveline ujoints. Pretty easy, you'd think but after removing the factory u-joints, the new ones threw the balance off. They re-balanced a few times, free of charge because they installed. 1410 non-greasable joints I used. |

I've been collecting parts for my Suburban 1/2 to 1 ton swap. In my notes I have "10 bolt to 14 bolt conversion joint Moog Precision #447." Fits your original driveshaft and the 14 bolt. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mog-447 It's available through Amazon /NAPA, etc. too.
