Well I was stuck trying to find one that fits. When I realized I should just make one for. I am a welder so... I just need to find 6 lug Axel's. That's my current situation. Thanks for responding!

that will be a tough one going from a semi floater to full floater and finding 6 bolt hub for a full floater, changing the pinion or driveshaft yolk, matching the diffs if 4wd

I'm looking in salvage yards at the moment and found a lot. The one that will work with 6 lug's is expensive. It's an 07 that has low mileage. It's a 2500 4 leaf 3.73. I believe it is a FF Axel as well.

It will bolt right up. You will need longer u bolts and if you use the ubolts on the 2500hd then you will need to drill out hole on bottom plate so the ubolts will fit. The bottom plate on the 2500 wont work because of axle tubing size diffrence. I did it on a 2002 1500.
