Explorer 8.8 Rearend

[fourmustangs]

i WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANY BODY KNOWS IF THE EXPLORER REAR END IS THE SAME LENGTH AS THE 87-93 MUSTANGS.
AND IF SO WHAT OTHER MODIFICATIONS ARE NEEDED?

I'm not sure of the width of a mustang rearend but if I remember right an Explorer is about 59" WMS->WMS.

Other than that, the Explorer is leaf spring & Mustangs are coil/4-link.

Explorer axles are a very popular swap into Jeeps, about 1" narrower w/4.10's & LSD.

I think it is a lot like the Ranger rear, I know a lot of folks swap the Explorer rear into Rangers for the disc brakes.
