Question 2006 front 2wd hubs on a 03.. Do they fit

I have searched on the web, still am with no results as to if they will fit.. I have not found any info as if they have actually changed hubs from 03-06.. I have a nice set of oem's on the line, but want to know if they will be a direct bolt up... So if you know or have a link to where I can get it post up...

Well, the only other thing I can suggest would be to go to the dealer and hopefully they have each one for you to compare. Different prices makes me think that they are somewhat different, but it may be a difference that doesn't matter.

Yes I think that is my next step... Drop spindles from belltech or DJM says from 99-06 on there drop spindles and the hubs bolt to that spindle, so what could be the diff.

I am doing a 5 lug conversion, the easiest way to do is is just have the 6 lug crap filled and redrilled.. I want to get all the stuff I need, still drive my truck in the mean time since it is my DD. Then once it comes back from Moser, slap it on.. I already have extra rear axles and rotors, but now I need to find front hubs, I am not spending $$$$$ on new oem ones, thus far the only used oems I have found have been for a 06 trucks...


As far as the brakes go they bolt to the spindle, a 6 lug rotor is a 6 lug rotor since it will have to be the same bolt pattern.. Soooooo

Why a 5 bolt conversion? Specific rims you want? I would think that 5 bolt hubs are weaker than 6?
