Default 3/4 ton axles on 91 K5

Would a lift kit for a stock K5 with 1/2 ton axles fit on my 91 K5 after I swap 3/4 axles under for my stock ones? The front I think is an 8 lug Corp. 10, and the rear is a 14 bolt full floater out of an 85 2wd suburban. All advice and ideas are appreciated.

yeah its all the same garbage. my k30 has 1 ton axles and has the front 1/2 ton leaf springs out of a 85 k5 blazer. only issue i ran into was the rear blocks coming from the k5. they did fit but just didnt look very safe so got rid of them and used lift springs.

also you should replace your rear ubolts, i think the rear might be different anyways due to the axle being thicker. make sure you save those spring plates off the rear axle (the part that the ubolts go through) those are probably going to have to be used too
