Did this tweaking cover the change in bolt patterns? The Cuda has 5 on 4", the Jeep 5 on 4.5".
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

look at valiant-duster-dart rearends---a while back i found a posi 8.25 at the pickapart under i think a 72 dart.... Wasn't stock, aside from the "posi", the 72's all had the 4" bolt pattern and there were no 4" bolt pattern 8 1/4's So someone probably swapped it in. 73 and up A bodies have the 8 1/4, but around here there are none in the yards anymore.

94 jeep cherokee share the A-body 43" spring perch center BUT are on the wrong side of tube for axle over spring.
BUT I used them to line up the set I weld on.
I have an A-body 8 3/4 in my 88 D100 truck to tuck 12" rims in the fenders. 12" wide 4.5 backspace with 29x15x15 M/Ts
the 94 jeep rear axle is a real close close to A-body specs.
I have used the jeep axle in the D series trucks to get 3.73 & 4.10 gears tucking the 12 in the fenders. SB seems ok/BB not so much.
I will be getting a 98 with disc brakes and will burn off the coil spring stuff and add perches on 43" center next for a 76 truck.
I only wish I found this info when I had my 68 Dart
