They will go under just have to get some 9 inch ears from AFAB or cutter is his screen name and make a bracket that bolts to factory leaf spring perches. Excellent idea with bolting the bracket for the lower trailing arm to the leaf spring bracket, wish I had thought of that when I built mine.

here is a tip for 8 1/4 rears, if you looking for a high set of gears look in 70's model trucks for an 8 3/8 rear, it has the same gear set only with larger od carrier bearings. most if not all 6cyl and 4x4 had 3.55 or 4.10 back then and while it may not be as high a ratio as you want they are easier to find in salvage yard. 83/4 are very scarce and pricey in my area. hope this may help someone

All of the stock 8 3/4 I have had have been fine spline. From 66 - 73 newports and newyorkers. The only ones with course splines that I have had are the ones I've installed my self

the axle shafts are all the same, if you mean the splines on the pinion stem for the yoke then it can be tricky. The vast majority of the aftermarket gearsets are all coarse spline, but not all. The factory gearsets can be either coarse or fine and the only way to be sure is to look. Generally the 60's ones were coarse spline and the 70's ones were fine spline but no guarantees.
In other words you have to look to be sure, it's not safe to assume anything
