Rear axle swap question
I have a 1994 prerunner that I am trying to make race worthy and I think the next step is doing the rear end and now that my front is about 3" wider on each side I was thinking of going with a full width ford 9" from an 80s bronco. I am just curious about driveshafts and what I should do about making my stock shaft work. I can see that I will need to have it cut or extended but what about making the joints on my shaft work with the ford 9"?
I was also curious about making my bolt pattern match the front 6 lug. Are wheel spacer adaptors or custon shafts my only choice?
Thanks guys

Right now I am looking at getting an early 80s 9" from a bronco and finding somebody to make some custome shafts for me(know anybody?) that will be the 6 on 5.5" to match my front lug pattern then I was thinking of doing a disc swap and drilling the rotors to match. I need to find more info though because I hear you can use 8.8 epkorer disc brakes and they nolt right up but I have no idea.

That would be great but I cannot find one around here and I can get one of an ten 9" rears from the you pull yards around here. t100 would be my first choice then I would be able to use the cost savings to have someone install the gears instead of custom shafts.

I cannot seem to find specs on how low of gearing is available for th t100 axle, and what spools they make for it.Have any links guys?
The t100 rear is I am guessing an 8.25" not an 8"?
I do want to go t100 if I can find one but I wanna run a spool and low gears like 5.40 or 5.60.
