Question is can you take the axles and outers from a 8 lug 14 bolt semi float axle and trade out with six lugs from same axle model? A guy has a 14 bolt semi float with six lugs and 3.42 gears, and a 14 bolt semi float with eight lugs and 4.10 gears. I want the 4.10 gears but six lug bolt pattern. Is this a go, or no. Thanks

measure lengths, the wheel bearings should be the same. swap out brake assy's if youre not too sure, too.

yeah, check your axle shaft lengths, other than that, all components should swap.

Make sure you know if they're from a 2wd or a 4wd, as the 4wd ones are wider (the 6 lug ones are anyway).
