Converting 5 lug to 6 lug

The truck I currently Drive is the first Truck I have ever owned now 10 years old I have modified everything else I have owned except this ol girl.
once upon a time I looked into getting a Total chaos kit for it but it has been discontinued and is so far impossible to find. so my question is can I convert it to a 6 lug by finding the arms and up rights and the rear end of a 6 lug and bolt them up to my truck or Arte the trucks that much different.

 

The suspensions are completely different. It's definitely possible with time and money, but you will be spending way more than it's worth. Most 5 lug folks get a Readylift or Fatbob lift kit, and some larger tires and call it a day.

It can be done. Lot's of work, and that type of thing can be a tedious pain in the ass to source all the parts, but if it's what you want... go for it.

I think @Tour991 can shed some light. He's done it.

 

Sure. SAS it.
