You can also swap rear ends from a late model. It will fit and give you the proper axle length for those wheels.

The differential width, from flange to flange, of the 3 gen. is narrower than the 4th gen. So if the dana 44 was built for your car you will have the same problem. The 4th gen. wheels will rub/hit the insides of the wheel well. The only way you can make this work is the big spacers and this is not recommended.
