6 Lug axle swap to 5 Lug Truck?

[MctPhoenix]

Has anyone swapped the 5th Gen 6 lug axles and hubs to a 4th Gen? If so are the calipers the same? Do I just need rear axle shafts and rotors and front hubs and rotos?

I'm wanting to put TRX wheels on my 2017 Rebel

The front hubs you can actually run the 2016-2018 Chevy 6 lug. It fits in our steering knuckle with minor clearancing and the cv fit in it too. I think the Chevy brake disc is needed as well though I think because the 5th gen brake disc is larger diameter than the 4th gen. Everything else stays stock. Kryptonite sells bulletproof Chevy 6 lug hubs with lifetime warranties on them. Not sure on the rears. May actually need to swap the whole rear axle out. I’m not sure it’ll work. This is not my picture. May want to look into disc size for the 5th gen though just to see as I’m not 100% on the brake disc fitment

Is that a 4th gen knuckle with 6 lug hubs and rotors? Or just all 5th gen parts? If it’s 4th gen knuckle, what rotors are those? I’ve been researching for a while and I have most of it figured out except the brakes part.

I can’t be for certain what exact parts since it’s not my picture but the guy whose the picture is told me this.

“The most common bolt pattern is 6x139.7. After an ass ton of research and work. This is a 2016-2018 Chevy 6 lug hub mounted to a ram knuckle, brakes, and cv axle.”

For the fronts: A guy could go buy the parts from, say, OReilly's and gently fit them. If they fit, then keep, or take them back ...and order whatever brand you have in mind.

Have you looked/posted in the other Forum sections like Lifted & Performance?

I don't know where i picked them up
but, i have waxed cut outs of wheel drums
The BOLT pattern with the center bore.

I believe they are for Chevy & Ford cars

i took them a time or 2 to wrecking yards, where they stack Rims

now these are made


They don't have the Center Bore though
