I have a narrowed 8.75 rear end that is 48 1/2 inches from flange to flange. Will this work with a spring relocation kit?

It is a 72 dart and that is the same set up I was looking at. The 53" is that measured from the axle flange to axle flange?I’m assuming the car is tubbed as well? Will also depend on actual vehicle, desired rim width, backspace and brake package. Assuming your car is tubbed and your going to use something like 15 x 10” rims you’ll probably need a wheel with around a 3.5” backspace. I’ve done a lot of guessing there but I’m basing it on my 69 Dart (Valiant Hardtop) running 15x10’s with 5.5” backspace and Dr Diff rear disc brake package requiring a 53” housing. With my car I bought the wheels first and we dummied it up by cantering the wheels in the tubs before measuring up and narrowing the axle housing to suit.

Thank you. I'm going to mini tub and try to run 15x10s.Yes it will work. Depending on the backspacing of ur rims u may have to mini tub. U didn’t say how wide or the b/s of ur rims r. My Dana is 48 inches wide. Perches r 37 inches ctc. Mini tubbed. Rims r 15x10. 4 7/8 back space. Kim
