Re: rear end
It won't bolt in. You can use it if you weld on the mounts for the trailing arms and panhard bar. Also, it is about 1-1/2" wider than the stock 62 rear, but normally that won't be a problem.

Re: rear end
I have never had a problem with any tires I could get on the stock wheels. It's a potential problem only if you run wide wheels/tires and are lowered enough that the tires can rub the fenders. Normally, you can avoid interference with aftermarket wheels by choosing your backspacing carefully.

Re: rear end
You're going to be pushing it trying to fit a 10" in a stepside I believe. G60's 265/60 or 70's are about the widest tires I've been able to fit under mine and its not dropped.
