Hello guys,
I am fairly new to the forum. Im needing a truck for pulling a trailer. I was hoping to be able to set mine up to do it. I have read where the frames are a tad bit lighter gauge steel on a 1/2 ton vs 3/4 and 1 ton. I don't think that would be an issue because my frame is solid. I have a 14 bolt full float rear axle and a dana 44 front axle, both geared in 4.10 ratio. I currently have 2.93. It will be a huge difference I know but it won't be on the highway very much. Im curious as to how much trouble it will be (driveshafts, universal joints, mounts, etc.) I have the 3/4 ton leaf springs, I will get some shocks in the future. I would appreciate all info. Also if someone could point me in the direction of another thread that would be great! Im sure this has been done many times before.
Thanks guys!
