You can get 5.13's in a Ford 9 inch rear axle, the only thing is your rear end will be way wider than your front and you will need to do some custom fab for the mounts and links and whatnot. Best to stick with Zuk parts if you can, unless you're running HUGE tires.

The ford 9" is the best option for strength and being able to stay with the stock gearing. The gear options on the stock axles vary depending on year, engine, manual or auto. A Jeep widetrack width ford 9 is actually narrower than a Kick axle. If you look around you can find one that will work with your ride.
