Here is about the best answer I can give you ...............Yup, with a little work. Do yourself a favor and find a either 2 left ranger axles or 2 right Aerostar axles. They are the same.

This article with tell you all you need to know.

And here are how FR500's look with the Lincoln Swap.... 17x9 with a 245/40 up front and 18x10 with a 285/35 in the rear.

This is with the Lincoln axle which is 1.25" longer.

The modded caliper bracket.

The last photo is with the flipped modded caliper brackets and a Ranger axle.

I can try to get some more pics of the tire clearance mounted in the car this weekend.

28x10.5 on a 6"BS Alumastar with the Lincoln Axle won't work, but it will with inner clearancing and a Ranger Axle and a good set of control arms. Don't ask about quad shocks, I didn't use them.
