The proper way to do it is work out EXACTLY what rims you will be running and match the diff to this so you don't have to play around with spacing out wheels or trying to find a rim that suits the diff. Work backwards!
Being a four link you give yourself a better choice of wider rims as the limiting factor with big rims on the back of a 1200 is the springs. You'll get a 1" wider rim on the rear without having to touch the chassis just by getting rid of the leaf spring.

The top one looks awesome!

With a dish that deep you will definately have to tub it and move the rails in. I don't think just going to the rail will give you the room you need (for the width alone it would but not the combination of the two).

The diff will need to be way shorter than normal to accomodate the dish and the width.
