Changing the rear end - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok guys. I have a mosier 9" with detroit locker and 389 gears I would like to put into my truck. Im planning on running a 4-link setup with coil overs from porterbuilt. Now my issue. The axle is only 57" from WMS to WMS. I know stock is 65" so thats 8"s of difference. So should i scrap the idea and maybe find me a new 9" axle and pit my guts in? I already have to redrill the studs for 5 on 5. Was maybe hoping i could just talk mosier into swapping them highly doubtful but figured Id try if not just redrill them. Or should i maybe find me some drag rims? I havent measured the frame yet so i may just be wishful thinking here.

That was kinda the look I was going for. eventually going to do a IFS coilover front too. I still pull a 16ft trailer so I cant drop it too much. Was thinking prolly 4-5 inches in the rear and 3-4 in the front.
