    A few bolts are different.
    best advice I would have for that is to go to the pick and pull to get yourself some stock uca's/knuckles and do a 3" lift + the body lift you currently have. also get smaller tires. unfortunately your used to getting new tires.....

    That won't work, the axles are 3" shorter, IIRC.

    back to the original problem

    i think both solutions are feasible...however a SAC is like opening a can of worms

    either scrounging up the required OEM parts to get it back right + proper lift components or finish cutting the stock + trailmaster trash off and SAC the truck

    If you have the knowledge/tools...or know a buddy who does...it'll save time, money, and trouble

    an axle can be found for pretty reasonable prices and then rebuilt to what you need, but youre going to spend a lot of time and possibly money fine tuning the suspension etc until you get it "right" but when youre done...you'll essentially have a great start to an awesome trail truck

    replacing stock parts is going to be easier to do, but possibly harder to dig up parts unless you go somewhere like ttora/yotatech/pbb/etc to find someone else who is going into a SAC and is willing to sell you his old stuff when he takes it off the truck...

    lots of good deals to be found that way...

    I don't know that they would fit, but I probably have most of the parts needed in my garage left over from when I replaced my shocks/springs/UCAs.
