Would a swap be just unbolt the old and bolt on the new? What are all of the parts that I would need.

Thanks,
Jared

From what I understand...the 3/4 ton's have bigger calipers and rotors, and differnt spindles/hubs..beefier coils.

rear leafs should just interchange..1/2 tons have a differnt rear end. My 3/4 ton has the full floating 14 bolt with 10.5" ring gear and I noticed the axle saddles are differnt that the onces on a 1/2 ton truck.

i would like to swap over to 1/2 ton suspension myself. get rid of the 8 bolt wheels and go to 5
