Converting d60 / sterling 10.25 8 lug, into 5 lug

[carter2772]

Who knows what i can do to swap my 1 ton axles from 8 lug to 5 lug. D60 front, sterling 10.25 rear. I know of a kit for the d 60, real expensive. I guess what i am wondering, is there other options out there, maybe a junkyard swap, or another kit not too expensive. I am not sure, just looking for my oprions.

Keep in mind, if it helps, i will be re gearing and putting new axles in, as what i have in them now is just stock axles and 4.10 gears.

I don't think you'll be able to get 5x5.5 on the 10.25 hub, but even then...why? You're going to spend more money keeping your weaker, harder to find and more expensive 5 lug wheels than you would if you just bought a new set..
Just saying.

Pricey, but here you go. Click on the products and look at axle and hub modifications. - Mike

This is for the fronts. Not sure if they offer one for the 10.25, but you can give them a call.
