Not to be nosey, but why would you want to go through all that trouble. Let me guess you got a deal on some nice 6 lug wheels.

no wheels yet but i got a hell of a deal on a six lug rear with a locker and mosier axels. but there are alot of nice wheel deals on craigslist in my area. im am lowering it also this spring i have the kit already just not the garage space to put it in and there is snow on the ground outside right now

Noone says you can't run 5 lug in front and 6 in the rear.

Easiest swap would be to pull the rear axles and have them redrilled for the 5 lug.That way they match and it will be way cheaper and faster than tearing into the front end.
