A six lug rear axle tells us you have an F-350. The optional ratios were 5.14/1 and 5.83/1. If you are installing a car front axle, essentially making the truck at most a half ton, why do you want to keep the rear axle? Find a 9" from a half ton with roadable gear set and call it done. Besides, I know of no simple way to convert the stouter six lug hubs to the smaller five lug. Stu
