[QUOTE="Dingleweed, post: 3943229, member: 31218"] I have a 97 Cobra rear end in mine. In my opinion, the 3/4" narrower rear end is ideal if you are going to run wider tires. I have 1/4" spacers with 315s on 10.5" rims. The fit with this setup is perfect. The wheels and tires are still tucked in under the fenders and there is no rubbing anywhere. Whoever you swap with will run into the problems of lower control arm bolt sizes. The pre-99s use smaller control arm bolts than 99+ rears. There are two solutions around this: 1. Use the pre-99 lower control arms in the 99/01 Cobra and either drill out the sleeves in the front bushings to fit the bigger bolts, or swap in new 99+ front lower control arm bushings. 2. Use 99+ control arms and bolts in the 99/01 Cobra, and drill out the holes in the axle housing to fit the bigger bolts. I chose option 2 while upgrading to MM heavy-duty LCAs. [/QUOTE]
