So after looking around for a few days I've come up with more information than i can process, i know a fox body rear end will work and all you gotta do is weld the spring perches on and get the adjustable uppers.
BUT!
i found out that the ford explorer comes with an 8.8 5 lug with disc brakes. I have access to one of these axles and I'm really interested in using it since its a 5 lug disc brake set up and its the quickest cheapest option WITH posi already tossed in
so i guess my question is fox body vs explorer rear end what are the differences in swap procedure. i see they have an 8.8 swap kit out there now that corrects center line but will that make the ford explorer a straight bolt in swap (minus the spring perch mount)? im really confused and i need to know before i just get a posi 7.5 unit and drive it until it blows the rear axle out
