axle swap

I believe the 68 axle will be shorter than your 72. Also, the spring pad width on a 2wd is actually wider than on a 4wd because 2wd frames get wider at the rear axle. You'd have to relocate your spring pads and shock mounts on the 68 axle to make it work in your 72 and then you'd still have a more narrow axle than what you started with.
