nevada Senior Member Dec 20, 2012 #2 i dont think that will work. arent the 2wd's 5 lug? i know the older ones were, not sure if they changed it. but, even so, the gearing is likely different. 2wd are usually geared higher.

Doc2012 Senior Member Dec 20, 2012 #3 My 99 was a 6 lug with 16s. As long as the gear ratios and lug pattern are the same, it should work.
fourwd1 Moderator Dec 20, 2012 #4 You can determine the gear ratio by checking the axle code on the VIN plate. Down at the bottom, a letter and three numbers (G254 for example).
