If the ball joint angles match it may work. Since your truck is a 4wd you will have torsion bars. If you loosen them down the truck will lower without costing you any money.

Doubtful.

If you removed the front axle, I hope you left the CV stubs in place...

ya i did i blew up the 4wd nv3500 and couldnt find one for a good price so im turning this one into a track truck but like i said i have the spindles for the 2wd and just wondered if they would work to shave off a few pounds and make it cheap to replace wheel bearings if i ever have to.
