I got some 1/2 ton chevys on mine. besides the custom mounting pads for the springs and the shocks, you'd need some custom adapter rings to go from sammy drive flanges on the t-case to a chevy flange. I had some made, and no longer use them. I think I still got one. you could have another made real easy. it's basically a male-male adapter that seats into the female pilot on the front of the drive flange. then you have a male pilot coming out the drive flange which seats into the female one on the driveshaft flange. easy, right? I got some custom parts, too. like a chevy cv joint mated to samurai female spline. been looking to get rid of them, too.

Biggest downfall I see is that Chevy axles are way more expensive to build than yotas. The lockers, R&P, high steer and every other part will probably cost you more $$$ than yotas. If you're lucky, the set of chevy's you have will be at least 4.10's. If they're 3.73 or less you're pretty screwed.
