Yes wider is more stable but if the rims are way offset it is hard on the balljoints. Also harder fitting thru trails but that might not be an issue if the truck isnt used for that.

Wrong. Well maybe. This is the answer I got to a email about some hubs for sale on flea bay.....they will work from 86-97 but the 95-97 are different just let me know the year of the truck you need them for if you purchase include a message and thats what i will send you
I looked up the BOM number on my front axle and it comes up a 1996.5 to 1997. Anyone know WTF is the difference is between the earlier hubs and the 97 hubs?

who says they are different enough not to fit? Again, my post is correct. It could be as simple as a change in the abs sensor. Doesn't mean it won't swap between other years. Do a little questioning before you challenge peoples posts

D60 and d50 hubs are the same. No question about it. Hell you can use the spindles off of a d50 on a d60 also. My 79 d60 has d50 hubs on it because i had them and wanted to use the bigger 9/16 wheel studs.

ABS differences like mentioned before was my first thought.
Are you sure about that Tom? I thought metric started with stupid duty...
Though I think I've seen you say this and challenged you on it before, I can't remember.

I have been looking into this for days metric started in 2000. In 97 they use a larger diameter rotor. Same hub bigger rotor. And what is up with this ABS ****. I thought the abs thing was on the back axle. You do know we are talking about the fronts right?
