Keep in mind the axle manufacturer's load rating on the 10.5" rear axle may not be the same load rating as a 10.5" front axle. If that's the direction your going here.
Also keep in mind brake ratings between the front and rear axle. They also can be different.
Yes but my front and rear are 8.5" and are the same ratngs and same axle..
The front is IFS is it not? The actual axle housing is not weight bearing. IIRC the S-10's use a 7.2" ring gear on the front.
I would also put the the rear spring-under suspension in a weak link category.
