i'm not 100% sure but i believe the mount for the hub is 100% the same and the same offset from the spindel, ( i know that chevy blazers are like that )

then you could prolly use your stock 4wd brakes and rotors and crap (not sure how it's setup could possibly be the same anyways)

if you dont want to foothe cost of the new hubs, do what i did and cut the axle u joint off at the hub and just use the end to keep the bearing attached/squished together

You will be better off doing what he said, the spindles are diffrent, they are also 5 lug, instead of 6, diffrent rotors,
