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.

will 06 Silverado 2500hd leaf springs fit on an 02 Silverado extended cab 1500?
