Thanks Brian. Good idea about swapping the axles.

I put jackstands on the subframe where the trailing arms attach. I took off the rear cover of the diff to remove the C clips but realized ----- the 2.47 differential I have is too large. It looks to be about 1.25" to 1.5" too wide. I buttoned everything back up and am now back at the drawing board.

Thanks for your help.
