DO IT ! going to 1 tons is NOT a headache and you will be stronger than toyota junk will EVER be. you will have to rework your front hanger since the center pin is 32" or just stick it in and let it be wider to one side. get pinion flanges from Jesse at high angle or his dad from paradise driveline so you dont have to redo your driveshafts . brake line adapters are cheaaapp.. steering is cake. especially on a 60 front you can actually make your own steering arms!.
While i did not go 1 tons ( i have a 10bolt and 12 bolt) i have had FAARRR less headaches than i had with my toyota JUNK and it was easy to do not to mention the nice advantage of much bigger brakes!. DOOOEEEEEEIIIITTTTT!
