yeah, you can buy adapters off teh shelf, I just dont like them for strength reasons as well as offsetting the wheel an inch to the outside. Welding teh spider gears in an open rearend is not an option. You can do it in the dirt or offroad only, but on the street it's only good for wearing out your tires and snapping axles. I can always machine a ring that could be welded to the outside of the axle flange and go behind the flange as well to add some strength, there's more than enough material to weld carefully and keep the HAZ away from the bearing surface..but more than likely bite the bullet and spend a few hundred bucks on some custom axles. Doing it right is always the most expensive way unfortunately...unless anybody has a spare 6 lug 60 inch 3.73 posi cheap or near Texas???...;)
