: Contrary to some information, 5 lug axles won't fit into a 4 lug rearend, at least in my case.
: 4 lug axle shaft dia. 1.328 inches, bearing dia. 2.677.
: 5 lug axle shaft dia. 1.366 inches, bearing dia. 2,836.
: Maybe it worked for someone else but not for me. Gonna just swap out whole rearend and housing. You get the 9 inch brakes that way too. The 4 lug brakes are 8 or 8.5 X 1 1/4 or 1 1/2.
: I hope this helps someone.
