It is confusing even to me, I've been down a number of paths and none worked out perfect.

Here are my most up to date and best organized thoughts.

Main problem with the outlined plan is the axle is still to wide.... 7.35" wider than an original AD 1 ton. Some of that could be made up for with inset wheels, and some wider is OK, there's a little room.
As mentioned in the post you could narrow an axle and I've provided the best and simplest way to do it that I can think of but it's not an easy task no matter how you go about it.

I'll be doing a version of this with my truck but I already have a narrowed axle that should make it work out for me.

Sorry I don't have a perfect solution for everyone.

There are numerous threads and ideas (some mine) on using stock axle, spindle, and hub just adapt a rotor and fabricate a caliper bracket. It's been done and it is an OK solution but somehow I don't like it all that much. It's still not a solution for everyone unless someone makes/sells a kit.
