Axle Swap to upgrade to a 4.5" BP

[92b]

I may be wrong on welding a hole shut, but I have to unhook my coil overs and let the 4 link down to get a wheel off. Guess that I did not pay attention to it. So I will retract my saying no. Will look at it the next time I have it apart. I have been thinking of new axles anyway, the axle end looks odd because it is for the small bolt pattern.
Sorry for misinformation!

No worries. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this bolt pattern conversion stuff so I can figure out my options. Thank you.

I also want to go to 15" wheels, does that change anything? Front disc brakes will need changing too.

No, disc brakes are fine. The only change I made was the speedo gear because the ratio changes slightly.
