ok I think I know the answer to this. I got a 8.8 out of an explorer with disc brakes. i just got the moser 9" bearing ends to get welded in my question is when i go to order axels do i order 8.8 or 9" axels. i think 9" becuase of the bearing seat on the axel looking for some one else who has done this. i decided not to use c clip eliminators becuase i heard they leak. thanks for any help.

If I remember correctly I don't think an explorer 8.8 will work.. I think it is too long? Or something about mounting, not sure about the exact reason. I am sure someone else will be able to chime in..
