Default Easiest way?

Hey I was wondering what the easiest and cheapest way to convert my car to a 5 lug is? Is it possible to get the axels from an SN95? Oh and has anyone installed a Kenne Belle 2.1 Supercharger on their car and if so what were the power gains? A buddy of mine recommended that I got one..

go to the junk yard and pirate the driverside axles from a ranger, you can't use sn-95 rear axles on a fox rear

I think you can get a full swap from Lincolns, can't you? I can't remember for sure, but I thought I've seen quite a few people do that.

So two driverside axles from a ranger with a 8.8? Why cant the driver and passager side be used, why would it have to be two driversides? You can use the spindles from a SN95 right?

SN95 cars have rear ends that are 3/4 of an inch longer. You need the DS axels from a Ranger because they are not the same length on both sides. You can use SN95 spindles. I am personally not a fan of the KB on a 5.0, I prefer a Vortech or Paxton.

I'm running 94-95 5 lug axles on mine... from strange... but still for 94-95... then again I have disc brakes. Does the difference lie in teh brake set up?

You can use SN95 axles, but you have to get the brackets and calipers/rotors so it will work correctly. you could run into fender rub since they are longer. I have not done the swap myself but heard of people using them.
