Default 8 to 6 lug conversion help
I know it's been up here in the past, but I want to do a 8 to 6 lug conversion on a 14 bolt sf
Any help or advice will be appreciated
A full kit to do this swap will be nice
Thanks

OBS would be 88-98...in that case you could just swap shafts, however, I am not sure about the newer ones. Drx would be a good one to ask...

I started with a 1500HD/2500LD axle...you can take some shortcuts, but that is how to do it right. we can build you one if interested.
