54 jimmy

I was thinking the 6 lug 2WD 14 bolt the same as the SS 14 bolt except it was 5 lug ? It looks like it would be direct replacement from the measurement , thats the only reason I was going to buy axles to stay 5 lug

Its the additional 150 or so pounds of weight Im concerned about, especially with the drum brakes

I could save the money on axles if I converted my front to 6 lug, just havent seen the 6 lug type wheels i was looking for?

I will say I do pretty much abuse it when I do drive it

Thanks
