How to swap or front and rear axles

[dersch6221992]

Hey guys,

i am getting prepped to try and do some modifications to my truck.

Instead of just sending my truck to the shop to get regear front and rear i plan to buy a used front/ rear axles that are 4.10

only issue i am having right now can not find a write up on this.
i found a basic one from the rear but the front i cant find anything.

does anyone have a thread with pics? or a write up with pics?

thank you!

the front is pretty easy. unhook your upper ball joints, and slide both cv's out. unhook the front drive shaft. once you get those out of the way, if you look on the passengers side near the end of the axle tube, there will be one bolt (i think its a 13mm, if not that, then a 15mm). then on the drives side, you will also see another bolt just about the diff. both of these will be bolt head facing towards the back of the truck. there will also be another one on the drivers side facing downward attached to a black bracket that attaches to the diff. you only need to take that one bolt off, and thats it. when you look under your truck, you will see what i am talking about.

Thanks. You don't happen to have a picture write up.
Or have a step by step process for the back?
