Yes the 9" can be shortened but you need to have the wheels and tires you will be using on hand for measurments and mockup. You will need new axles or have your axles shortened and re-splined. As far as cost, by the time you have it complete, figure around $800.00 - $1000.00 if you have someone else do everything.

Depending on your area.

Labor to narrow housing.. $195.00 plus parts if any needed.
Housing ends if needed $90 to $100

If your axles are able to be shortened.. $ 150.00 for the pair plus parts if needed.

may be cheaper to measure that rear hub to hub and try to find one shorter.
