    Found one, pretty sure it's a 9". And it's leaf-sprung. Anybody know anything about these? Such as the spring perch width and overall width?

    Too wide.Probably about the same as Galaxies.Oh wait,you gots those big,deep backspace wheels.I think it's still a bit too wide though.

    Yeah, if it's overall 4" wider than a Maverick rearend, I'm good. Any wider and I can't use it. I guess I'd better just go back with a measuring tape and find out...
