I posted this same thing in the Ranger axles section and didn't notice. So I'm re-posting here. Sorry.
So to start things off, I'm looking into saving up for the Dixon Bro's Racing long travel coilover swap for my Explorer.

It says it makes the truck 4.5" wider per side.
Based on my measurements, I'd have to find a rear axle that measures 68.5" in order to match up to the front.
I've found that a '72 Ford Van 3/4 ton has a Ford 9" that's 68" wide.
My big problem with that, however, is that I JUST bought my rims that are 5x4.5 bolt pattern and that's the way I want to stay.
Is there a way I could get this axle to work with my stock bolt pattern? Or, is there another axle available that I haven't noticed that would work with this?
Thanks for the help in advance.
