I am talking about changing over the front end, not the rear. I have a 9 inch for that already. I want to swap because it's not that easy to find 8 lug rims that will work for it, and the split rims it has on it, nobody will touch them to put new tires on. Would it be possible to get a front axle assembly from a 1/2 and then be able to do what I'm asking to do?

Thanks
