    You're not wrong. I'm building this into my dream truck. Money isn't really a problem but want to be smart and not blindly blow money.

    As far as I know, the axles are completely different.

    You will get a clear answer if you contact the manufacturer as suggested above.
     
    Flexedbmw Thanks this.

    Will they just bolt up to ur current frame or are you gonna have to drill new holes and what not? Been wanting to do this also on my 680

    I'm not sure, I'm getting custom frame rails, so once I'm to that step I'll have the mounting holes measured so everything looks clean. Only reason for getting frame rails made is mine are twisted and pitted really bad. Plus it cracked in one spot.
