Yeah, I am actually selling the conversion if anyone is interested...

Factory MegaCab rear fenders (painted dark grey)
Factory corner lights
all mounting hardware
4 factory steel wheels
2 steel wheel spacers with lugs

this WILL work on 04 and up short bed trucks.

It is a shortbed. Thats why I bought the megacab fenders. They have the cutout for the gas door and everything. The whole conversion would be around $2000 if you went the route I went.

Can anyone chime in that has actually swapped axles shafts and not complete axle assemblies? I am trying to buy parts from REDLINEAR and he swears the outers are completely different between as srw and drw and not interchangeable. From everything I have read, the axle assemblies are the same between a SRW and a DRW except for

-Longer Axles Shafts
-Spacer ( I call it a spacer, Redlinear calls it the hub)

My plan was to buy axle shafts and spacers/hubs from Redlinear to convert my truck from a 3500 SRW to a 3500 DRW. Redlinear says these parts are not interchangeable. Has anyone actually done the conversion this way?
