What do you mean crosspin?

I had put a set in the 8.8 I had in my 85, with no problems.

No, but they will stick out the ends of the axle tubes 3/4" more than the stock ones, and push your wheels that much further out.

If you want 5 lug drum brakes, you need to use ranger or areostar axles. If you try to use SN95 axles with drums they will push the drums out so far that you would barely get any brake contact.
