Why are you wandering around so much? Stay still for a minute so I can post in your thread.

Most guys switch to fox length axles or just make up for the 3/4" you're talking about by ordering wheels with the appropriate backspacing. I'm sure you can find 1,000 guys on here who have done it.

FWIW, the track width will be 1.5" wider in total. The axles are each 0.75" wider than fox length.

1.5" each side.

The 94-98 axles make the standard 86-98 axle 3/4" wider each side.

The 99-04 housing is wider as well, do it comes out to 1.5" each side or 3" total

Also, keep in mind the LCA bolt hole sizes differ. I believe the newer rears are 16mm bolts while the older are 14mm. I could be wrong about the sizes

Thanks for the correction. I forgot about the 99+ housings being different.
