If it's from an early Bronco, then I believe it's the right length, but the spring perches will need to be flipped

84 Bronco, then you'll have to narrow it along with flipping the perches.

Talk to the boys at Currie. The actual cost to narrow the rear end is not that much. The axles add more and of course the perch relocation would also add. If the axles do not taper at the end they can be cut and re-splined which is not as bad as a new set.

I had less than $500 in mine including new axles and freight to and from California and Georgia.
