As for your wheel problems, have you considered putting dually axles under it? The rear would get you extra width to fill the flare with a regular wheel on it and the front would widen out as well. Just a thought, or I run a 2005 AAM 14 Bolt that's wider than the stock 70s/ 80s 14 bolts at 69 1/2" WMS and has factory discs and parking brake.
I look forward to the updates and finished product.

It's funny you should mention that on the very morning I woke up at 3:00 am thinking about it. My intention was after I got up, and it was light outside, I was going to go measure axle widths, keeping in mind I am not planning on going away from an Eaton, one of my most favorite axles. I guess you could say it's in the same league as a 205 transfer case. So this is what I came up with; I am going to have to stick with the 2wd 411 possi I have in it. The only other option that I could think of, is to bolt on one ton dually hubs which seem to be quite a bit wider, just not sure I would do with the axle shafts. With all that said, camper special wheels in the front and custom camper special wheels in the back to end up with a even stance front to back.
Thank you for your comments, your compliments are appreciate it and respected.
