Default another axle swap set back

so when trying to convert the front to 8 lug, i know i can find just an adapter....but i would like to do it "right". ive checked into getting a hub assembly for a 95 2500 (LD) but with no such luck. so now im looking at getting new spindles from a 98 (before they went to a hub assembly w/ bearings in it) this way its a heck of a lot cheaper. but i dont know if the 2500 spindle will bolt up to mine, if ill maybe have to change the knuckles?? i dont know, looking for some much needed assistance on this topic from my knowledgable dodge forum guys!

If your looking for a three hole 8 lug hub, looks to me like rock auto has them.

I assume you've tried matching up parts for a 2500 2wd . Forget LD, that's for 4wd setups.
