8 lug rear disc conversion?

Looks like I have the answer to swapping axle shafts isnt going to be easy. Is there a 8 lug rear disc conversion out there?

I was thinking converting it to a 5 lug all around but now reconsidering and leaving the 8 lug because there are alot of wheel options out there. Maybe I would be better off leaving it 8 lug and just rebuilding the drums that are on it in the rear.

The 6 lug wheel options are very good also. the offset is what you have to look at.Something to think about (The 14 bolt is almost bullet proof)
