Default 5 Lug Conversion HELP!!!

I'm sure this has been addressed somewhere on this forum, but I've googled it up and I'm still confused on my application...

I have a 95 or 96 mustang rear end complete with 3:73 gears, MAC girdle, rotors, calipers, etc. as well as the front rotors and calipers etc of the same car.

I'm wanting to know will these will bolt up to my 91 Foxbody? Please let me know!!!

So, we know the front is fine...what of the 95 or 96 rear end....anyone know if it'll work? I don't wanna buy another one off a bronco or lincoln.

All you need to do is just buy the right axles for your current axle.

I think the length on the SN95's are slightly different

Ha, they'll both work...the rear will be just a bit longer...so only 8" wide not 9" wide unless you buy a kit...here's another excellent write-up.

You can buy just the axle shafts with the right 5 lug pattern
that will slide into your current axle housing. Much easier than
swapping out the entire housing.

Then just swap out the front spindles as per first link.
