Unless your gunna do some serious drag racing or narrowing the axle for clicks is personally just put a Liau in the 12 bolt...cheaper...and easier...

Re: Um ya help
I got one out of a mid 80's Ford truck that was really close to the same length. I can't remeber off the top of my head as far as the spring perches though. I will be shortening mine about 1-2" on each side so I can fit some 15x12 w/5" bs and some 29x15r15 tires.

Not a super easy bolt in deal, and a built 12 bolt will will hold everything you're likely to throw at it and it already fits perfect!
