Haven't done anything yet, except tear it down. It looks like the donor axle used pre-1978 parts for it's 3/4 ton conversion, so I should be able to keep my existing spindles and just change everything else out from there: backing plate, rotors, hub, and keep my existing lockouts

How much lift are you going to have when you are done?
I changed the bumpers out the weekend I got it. Had them sitting in the garage waiting for the truck.

Will end up with 6" of lift from the suspension.
