Stock 100 series width. If I recall it was +-69" WMS to WMS

The front was made to match the rear.

I am sure it can. You would just have to get an axle with the diff in the right spot.

I think it would be harder to fit it all under there and have it drive well. Also the steering will be more difficult to do.
Thanks for the response Christo. Are the coil mounts for the rear of the 100 series axle the same as an 80 series, meaning can 80 series coils be mounted on a 100 series rear axle or would the mounts need to be changed out.

Also, where can i get front coil mounts. Did you make them yourself or did you buy a universal or use 80 series stuff?

Thanks.
