Hi John,
I have 30 new 8.8" Ford 3.73 rearends in stock. I narrow them and can supply 5 lug axles & brakes and make them the width you want starting at $1610.00.
Call me with any questions.

Since all these items add up to fix $$, I'm thinking of going to an 8.8 or 9". I have 57 1/2" from the inside wheel to the inside wheel or brake drum to brake drum. What rear should I be looking for or are all the upper and lower arms, shock mounts all custom installed to fit the CR? Or is the rear a direct bolt on unit that fits the CR, from a specific year car or truck? Thanks for your replies.

John
