94+ solid axles are 5 lug, and as far as I know they're all 28 spline...

*(I think) 98's axle housing Are .5" wider on each side comparted to the 94 and the 99 axle housing is 3/4" wider...

Good luck

Incorrect.

The link above is my personal page. I wrote it.

94-98 axles were 0.75 inches longer per side than 87-93. 99+ were even longer than that.

Do not try to use 99-up axles on your car.

The 99+ rearend will physically bolt up BUT there are no caliper brackets that will fit 99-up axles on a non 99-up axle housing.

Stay with 94-98 stuff and you'll be fine.

If you are gonna use 17x9 or larger, use ranger/aerostar axles and the north cobra caliper brackets.

If anything is unclear read my site. I will not answer any questions that I took the better half of a day to write on my site.

Good Luck.
