Gooberdog 'Bolter G Joined: Jun 2015 Posts: 68 Kansas City, MO	Grigg, I have a 3800 DRW and I have an 88 8 lug 19.5" stepvan. My plan was the front axle shortening approach and now my beacon of knowledge is no longer recommending this course. Is the spindle swap applicable to the 3800? Would the axle need to be replaced with 2ton or will the 1 ton work? What risk have you identified with the axle shortening (assuming the axle gets welded in proper alignment, which is where the work comes in)? Thanks for any info you can provide Chuck
