Hey guys, I just wondered if some late model explorer gears would work in my current 8.8 in my 91, I tried a search, but couldn't find aynthing usefull.

I think the explorer has 31 spline axle shafts if that means anything. but i'm not 100% certain.

not sure on the 31 spline part, but my gears are from an explorer and they are 8.8 28 spline 3:73's. I think the 31 spline came in the broncos. As long as they are made for an 8.8 rear end I don't thin kit really matters what vehicle it came from. I am sure someone will chime in here on the major differences and point out where I am wrong.
