Closer to stockton would be nice. I have a sn95 in my coupe with a eaton posi 31spline, Toms Kick Ass axles, 373s, and trickflow cover. I just dont like how the tires stick out way too much. So i want to go with a foxbody length rear end and use all my parts from it. [patriot]

86-98 housings all the same width unless you have a 99-04 housing in there now (these are wider)
You will need new shorter axles to decrease width along with aftermarket brackets.
Give me a call and we can go over your setup.

housing are the same the only difference is the axels because of the abs Ring may push the axel out more I heard ppl put 5 lugs axels from a ranger in there and have a little more space also your wheels back space will come in to play as well I have both housing a sn95 and a fox the axels are what push out them out

- 11"and smaller brakes fit under 15"+ wheels, 12" brakes require 16"+ wheels, and 13"+ brakes require a 17" or larger diameter wheels

- 1994-1998 Mustang rear axles are 3/4" wider on each side than a 79-93 Mustang.

- 1999 and newer Mustang rear axles are about 1 7/16" wider on each side than a 79-93 Mustang.

- 94 and newer Mustang 8.8 will bolt into a 79-93 Mustang but will require brake line adapters.

- Lincoln Mark7 LSC, SVO Mustang and Fox Body Saleens use a rear axle that is 1.25" wider per side than the 87-93 Mustangs.

- 94-95 spindles share the same track width as 79-93 spindles.

- 96 and up spindles have an 8mm wider track width.

- 79-93 Mustangs all use 9" drums with 7.5 and 8.8 rear axles.

- 4.0 liter Rangers use a wider 8.8 rear axle and 10" drums.

- Explorer 8.8 rear axles are 1" wider per side than a Ranger or Aerostar with a 7.5 rear axle.
79-93 Mustangs use a 57 inch wide rear axle. 94-98 Mustangs use a 58.5 inch wide rear axle. 99 and newer Mustangs use a 59 7/8 inch wide rear axle. Lincoln Mark7 LSC, SVO Mustang and Fox Body Saleens use a 59.5 inch wide rear axle. Hope this helps
