Re: Decisions, Decisions!

I have collected a bunch of parts towards the conversion :

4/6 drop kit
20" Akuza wheels
complete 1/2 ton parts truck

From what I have been able to gather, the 3/4 to 1/2 conversion is pretty simple. Swap the front running gear for the 1/2 ton units, upper control arm swap not required. Install lowering parts as required. Install 1/2 ton rear end with flip kit, modify the 3/4 driveshaft rear u-joint to fit the 1/2 ton rear.

If I choose to stay 3/4 ton. I would have to sell the wheels, parts truck, and drop spindles and buy the proper spindles. I got a smoking deal on the parts truck and wheels, so selling them would probably get me brand new wheels for the 8-lug.

Here's some pics of what I have so far as well as the only 8-lugs that i've found that I like :
