dana 50 IFS

has anybody done, or know what parts need swapped to turn a 1/2 ton IFS into a 3/4 ton IFS??? from what i've found so far, apparently the only parts that need swapped are the spindle, bearings, brake rotors, calipers and pads, and maybe the hub housing....and the springs...am i correct in this theory???

The half tons used the Dana 44 ifs axle, the 3/4 tons used the 44HD and 50 ifs axles. I imagine the 44 and 44HD parts are interchangeable. Don't know if they can be swapped with the 50's.

thanks for the help...i'll hafta check on it...what about swapping wheel spindles between a 44 and 44HD? would they be the same size? or?? and from there, if the spindles could be swapped out from a 1/2 ton to 3/4, then just the rotor, brakes and bearings would be all that would really need swapped, i assume....is this correct, or am i off base on this?? just curious...
