The cutting and welding on the P-30 axle is a lot of work and some risk, not something I recommend anymore. It solved my problem at the time, before I learned of the spindle swap.

The 2 ton I-beam with the P-30 spindles and brakes is a very easy job, low risk.
Take the time to find a 2 ton front axle beam, they're usually about free for the taking and some labor to extract it.
