I am almost positive they won't. I believe the difference is in the size of the spindle stub.

I think you would have to switch out the upper A Arm for some reason. Do some searching in the suspension forum and you should find the info.

1-ton spindels

The ball joints are bigger on 1-ton, than they are on 1/2 ton.

You have to change the upper and lower a-arms.

Hope this helped.
