Getting ready for the big day ... dual cases are done, suspension purchased, rebuilding the 84 front axle right now. About the only major thing left to buy are the driveshafts and wheels/tires.

To get it rolling after the swap and to ease the wallet, will stock steel 15x7 IFS rims clear the high steer arms and calipers? I will be using the standard 1.5" spacers.

 

With those spacers you should be fine. IFS wheels are 4-3/4" b/s:


The factory solid axle wheels are ~3-3/8" b/s:


4-3/4" - 1-1/2" = 3-1/4" backspacing.

 

Thanks 4Crawler!
