I would think you could find a rear axle out of a YJ that would bolt right in, just have to get the right gear ratio. |

Searching here:
http://cincinnati.upullandpay.com/search.aspx Comes up with a 98 & 99 explorer. These should have the 8.8 you need. Bring someone with you to the yard to help you check the gear ratio. Out the door with brakes & all will run you around $250 unless you have a coupon from a previous visit there. Call them & they'll tel ya the exact price. Pull the correct one, bring it & your old axle to my garage along with a pack of 4.5" cut-off wheels & I'll get the perches on the 8.8 for ya for cheap. |

cut off & weld the shock mounts onto the 8.8 when you do the spring perches.
jeep only welded these on the outside of the mounts - making it easy to remove these off a junk axle. definitely keep the disks for better stopping power, you may need to adapt the two lines from jeep metric to ford if they are standard, but that is cake. |
