Well I drove a hour one way today to take the 9" to get narrowed 3 1/2" and found out you have to go at least 7" on a rear with 28 spline axles. So we found a 8.8 ford explorer rear he had laying around and it was the exact lenght I need. So the plans now are for a 8.8 rear. I learn something new every day. I can get a 8.8 explorer rear with 4.11, factory locker, and it will have 31 spline axles.
