how big of a spacer can the ford 7.5” rear end handle with a 31in tire? i would also like to know how much wider the dana 35 ttb front axle is than the 7.5” in stock forms. also someone mentioned once that the 8.8” is wider and evens this difference is this true? for now i want to even it by getting different width spacers. i am currently in the process of hunting down the rare R7 axle
