Hello folks,
First time post here. 1997 C1500 5.7L.
Axle swap was relatively trouble free. I replaced all bearings and installed Dutchman 454SS direct replacement axles. New backing plates and brakes. Drilled six lug drums to 5 bolt pattern. Used Moog 448 U joint. P-brake cables did not need to be changed.
Definitely a noticeable improvement in stopping power with the 11" brakes.
Let me know if you have any questions.
