When you say more common, do you mean more modern, or more common like your average one ton dually?

If it's a modern axle out of a newer 1.5 ton or larger truck, that would still make it a big bolt.

If it's one out of a one ton dually, I wouldnt consider it to be a big bolt anymore, in my opinion.

If you are looking to go with a more modern axle & keep the heavier load capacity, do what Grigg did, I believe he went with modern axles with disc brakes & kept it as a big bolt. The beauty of the modern axles, is you can also use modern wheels.
