i assume you could use them, because for the most part the brackets and axle halves are the same. j.c.whitney.com sells brackets by them self, but i think they are small, like 2-2.5 inches. here they are. 2.5'' is tops, and to be honest(***** everyone) i would suggest a body lift on a ttb truck, because they will tear chit up with lots of miles.

Ever notice how often people come here asking for temporary solutions? Wonder how often anyone ever goes back to "fix" their temporary el-cheapo solution? Does anyone do something the right way the first time?

you have a straight six four speed truck, at most you get what 15mpg? how often and how fast do you drive on the highway? 4.10's and 32's might actually net you better mileage if you aren't a speed demon

Oh and here's a thought to wrap your head around.
4.10's + 37" swampers + insane axle hop + anger + heavy foot + 1st gear low range=
That is the only reason you need to upgrade your u-joints kids. Psh, or you know, maybe remove the 4" block so the axle won't hop like a drunk frog....
