if it is still IFS, this would be a prime reason to do a Dana 60 conversion.

It is the Dana 50 IFS. And i was thinking about a swap too! Will the brakes,calipers and rotors all fit on the Dana 60?

yes, the brake pads, rotors, and calipers are interchangable between the D50 IFS and D60.

Well Im going to try and get the nut off when it warms up. I found a guy who has a spindle. But, he is not sure if it is off a heavy or light truck. Would the spindle be the same as my Heavy duty, and just the spindle nut be different? Or are the threads the same size and just a over sided nut was used?

you will need a spindle off of the same style axle as you have.
the 44 and 50 use different spindles

Ok, I finally got the nut off. I had to use a allen wrench to put it under the hub nut socket to keep it from slipping off. Also used a breaker bar, that helped out a bit. Found a used spindle and its all back together! Thank you everyone for the help!!!
