Well, you can always swap the ring and pinion. But it's a bit of a complex process. If you know someone (or you yourself) who can do this, it would be the cheapest way to go. Just get the gearset from someone...maybe on eBay or Richmond Gear. That would solve all the problems.

In my case, I'm not a differential expert by any stretch of the imagination. So I'd prefer to swap the whole rear end...plus I'm not in your shoes: I want to switch to a 5-lug setup...I already have those wheels in addition to the 6-lugs that are on there now.

Again, good luck.
