I'm preparing to gather parts to convert my 99 from PVH to live axle. To do this, at minimum I will need to swap out CV axles and hubs to the later style. I may also be swapping knuckles to get the larger brakes from the 2004+ Rangers, but that will probably wait until next time I need brakes.
I know that the CV axles and hubs changed when they changed from the PVH hubs to lives axle in ~mid 2000. I had assumed that axles and wheel bearings were the same from the change through 2011. Looking at parts applications on RockAuto, it would appear that there is a separation between 2001-2002 and 2003+ on both the hubs and CV axles.
I know that there was some 2 wheel abs and 4 wheel abs variations, but I'm strictly looking at 4wheel abs stuff.
Anyone know what changed here or if the parts are in fact interchangable on all the live axle trucks. If there is in fact a difference, I want to make sure I get parts that work together and will fit the 2004+ knuckles since that is the ultimate goal.
