you should be able to run 3/4 ton axle in a 1/2 ton axle. i know this is the case in the chevy axle. however they arent any stronger. if you want stronger axles you need to get aftermarket alloy axles. im running superior axles in my 44 and love them along with my longfield joints.

Are the 8 lug joints any stronger? 
RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

  I just did this conversion on my fullsize earlier this year having gone from 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton...(long story).  Come to find out that all the componenets are interchangeable with the exception of the rotors (8lug and larger) and backing plates (larger diameter for larger diameter rotor) which the calipers mount to.  Everything else was the same between the 1/2 and 3/4 tons...ball joints, axle shafts, wheel bearings, calipers, brake pads, seals and even the master cylinders were the same. I researched all the parts numbers just be purely amazed at all the similarities.  Hope this is what you were wondering.  :usa:
