1999 Chevy Suburban. I need more hauling capability. Hate the 10 bolt rear. I have a 14 bolt to drop in. I want to match the new rear bolt pattern in the front. What parts do I need to do it?

Leaves are not really an option at this time. Already have a Rancho 4" lift.

If would be stronger and might even be easier to go with a dana 60 front on leafs, and sell your lift, but the ride wont be as nice.

I think you missed that I said leaves aren't an option.

Any ideas on what trucks these come out of? Or if ABS is available?

Hey Grendel,

My buddy has the SF 14 bolt 6 lug in the back of his truck right now. He is pulling it out and going with FF 14 bolt. It is in perfect condition and he drives it daily. 3.73 gears and posi. Drop me a line if you are interested. My buddy is in Citrus Heights also.

You could also get a FF 14 bolt and have the hubs turned down to 6 lug! I can get you set up on that also. :D
