I'll weigh in on this, but hopefully you'll get some first-hand information from some guys running this combination.

That axle is supposed to be 62.5" hub face-to-hub face. If I remember right, you need 50" between the tires to clear the outside walls of the bed. It would seem like if your wheels had 5" backspacing, your tires would clear the bed by 1.25" (less the amount the sidewall balloons out). If you didn't go nuts on the width of the tires, they should fit.

All that to say that I think that axle will work fine.
