You know it! Which is why I'm staying mild as well. I was able to buy a Bronco 2 and build D60/10.5 with gears and e-lockers for about the price of just a 74Weld rack. Obviously there's a bit more to go but it's going to be a lot stouter than my 6G and if/when it does break it goes on the...

Worst case if you don't get anywhere with Ford, a true offroad shop can fix it for you. They'll bend the tube back with heat.
You can get 6 lug hubs for a full float 60, but I imagine they are 106mm center bore, not to mention more money.
