worst case scenario you can just buy a spacer adapter...but that will be pretty thick so i dont know if you will have room for it. I actually bought some to go to five lug and they were 1.75 inches thick...

why not just get a ford 9in? you can get it custom fit to any length with rear disc i do believe. seems like the easiest nd best option

Or you can go with a 4x4 toyota rear end.the different years hae different widths. And the yota rearend will be cheaper and will pretty damn stout. Tons of rockcrawlers use them in their rigs

Just shorten a Z-71 rearend. Bolt patterns the same, come with limited slip and gears for a V8. The pumpkin isn't huge but they're very reliable in a stock fullsize. Later models come with disc brakes, early models are drums. And they're cheap! That's my plan if mine ever lets go.

I forgot that the z71 had the same bolt pattern I feel like stupid. Ha

No worries, it was always an idea I had for my first Mazda.
