I have a 91 5.0 and it is 4 lug. I have a set of 94 hubs, spindles, etc. for the front. I also have everything for the rear except for the axles. I want to run 9" Cobra R wheels. What axles do I need? Everyone says to check out this website,http://www.svo73mm.cjb.net/., but it makes no reference to what axles to use.

Thanks,
Dave

Read the site again, it does say what axles to use. To clear a 9" wheel, you'll have to stay with the stock Fox track width, which means using Ranger/Aerostar axles and North Racecar caliper brackets. Read the site a few more times, you'll pick up new stuff every time.

I "think" if you can find what was called FMS M179 Wheels they were already set for SN95 Axles and were 9" wide.

If you choose to stay with the stock track width, you could also use rear disc brakes from a Lincoln Mark VII (ranger/aerostar axles) if you can find a better price on them, compared to the North RaceCars brackets.. I heard they are pricy but im not sure.
