Re: 86 1 Ton - Axle Replacement
My instinct is that the 1-ton axle will be much bigger (stouter) than the
standard axle. The weight capacity of a vehicle is determined by the axles.
Well, there is some other stuff too, but there is no point in using most of
the other stuff if light duty axles are used.
