Thanks for the reply's. This is what I love about this site...
After reading these posts there is definitely more to consider than just adding a couple of tires. I get the feeling that the conversion kit is really a cosmetic with the added bonus of a few extra pounds.
If we do anything I'm leaning towards changing the rear end if the other parts match up with the 1 ton. I have a brother that used to work in the gear shop of a salvage yard for 4 years and he saw it done all the time...the big things he saw as far a problems were when they mix matched a 4:10 with a 3:73.

As far as cost if, it matches up part wise, he said about $700, including trade value for the single wheel axle, for the rear-end plus the cost of rims and matching tires.

Thanks for the replys.
