Which rear end?

I want to replace the stock rear end on my 49 3/4ton to mainly get rid of the 8 lug hubs but also to prepare for a front end swap.

What rear end will give me:

1. a 5 lug hub, doesn't need to be disc,
2. be wide enough to not need spacers
3. Not be too wide that it needs to be shortened


In working on the truck yesterday it's pretty obvious that the whole brake system needs to be rebuilt. I'm thinking it's probably better to spend the money on the suspension changes first so I'm not throwing money away.

Thanks!
Ben
