It is very easy. You don't even have to remove th ewheels depending on the axle that you plan on swapping over. I've done plenty of D44 fronts where I only removed the wheels once, the first time I did a swap.

Well by your user name I would assume that you have a D44 front in your truck. Do you have automatic locking hubs now?

If so, I would install Warn's premium hubs. They are very easi to use and install. Plus they add some strength to the front end.
