You could find a set of 6 lug hubs /rotors from a light duty 2500 2wd for the front, and change the axle shafts over to 4wd
6lugs for the rear.

The OBS 2wd and 4wd axles are different widths. No worky.

JR from Motorsport Tech can make adapters for 5 to 6 lug. They are both hub centric and lug centric. Run them on mine without problems. Just dont do burnouts or doughnuts on dry pavement and you're GTG. That or you can swap unit bearings. I'm pretty sure the unit bearings are pretty much the same from OBS to NBS. Also, do you have 2WD or 4WD?

you can run the front rotors/ hubs from a c2500 2wd and i'll sell you a 2wd 14 bolt 3:42 locker semi float rear axle for $300 plus shipping

To bad that isn't a FF set up with a shorter gear; it it were I'd buy from you right now.

OP, if you're on a budget and running 33 or smaller tires, this would be a great buy for your truck assuming it's in fair condition.
