Yes it'll work but you will half to make a track bar mount I believe do a rsk because axle is slightly wider and of course either swap rearend or run adapters because super dutys have diffrent lug pattern but I will say 05 axles are fairly reasonable u get bigger front brakes rear disk and coil spring ride and u might half to drill out pitman arm for tie rod end don't know for sure know I did for 05 axle

Well guys thought I'd give a update on how the swaps working out and how much better drivability it and braking and ride quality well it's great I have a few small things to take care of but its great was a great investment and definitely improved trucks ride and braking ability I've not decided yet if I'm going to go with a 97 zero loss booster or hydro boost but hopefully hydro boost but I need new shocks and brake pads first but I'm definitely loving right now the 3:73 are great even with 35s I'm about the same as 33s and 3:55s anyone needs any information and I'd be glad to offer any advice I would recommend it to anyone wanting to go to a straight axle I have less in my swap than I could have bought a leaf spring Dana 60 for got axles and springs and coil buckets brakes all brackets and brake lines for 1,200 bucks
