You can swap an entire sn/95 8.8 in. Direct replacement. Disc brakes and 5 lug rear in one shot. I have found those rear ends before for $100 at the scrap yard, you would just need 5 lug rims for the rear.

A 94-98 axle housing is the same length as the 92 housing, but the axles are each 0.75 longer. The 99-04 axle housing itself is 3 inches longer overall than the fox/SN95 one, and the axles are each 1.5 inches longer than fox axles. I would not use the 99-04 rear end in a fox because you will have tire fitment isues.

It will physically "fit", as in you can bolt it in, it just is wider and will cause you potential tire fitment issues. If you are just looking to do a 5 lug swap you can use your existing rear end and swap in fox length 5 lug axles and then use 94-2004 rear brakes.
