Yes I know this is rare, however I'm going to be using my '23 in a more daily capacity than towing, which I no longer have a need for. I scored a swap for a new 2024 SRW 8' Bed to exchange for my DRW Bed, so now I just need to work on the 1.5" difference in axle length. Optimally, is there a bolt on extension I can remove from the axle Hub Assembly or a swap out hub I can bolt on to go to the SRW Axle Width?

Here are my options as i understand them:

1. Get as custom wheel set made with a 1.5" backspace difference from the front (front already is a Super Single minus the adapter/spacer). If no bolt on or off option is available this MAY be the most economic route. JK Wheels I believe can custom Forge one.
2. Buy a whole new Axle pre-assembled from Mopar (68298148AD) - $2300 WITH SHIPPING!
3. Remove or replace a bolt on hub extender/adapter on the DRW axle

Thanks all, anyone who knows the intricate design of the rear ends will be able to help me here!

Thanks!

(so before someone says just trade it, I have alot of customization in the truck and I'd stand to get KILLED on trade).
