Re: what is supposed to come first? (rear end topic)
I believe the explorer 8.8 is a little narrower than the 4wd s10 axles, so you're at the same width concern there. Any of the axles you mentioned will work fine, so you might just see what you can find and what fits the budget. I personally used the 4wd s10 rear axle because I had one and it bolted in. I used spacers to get my tires to fit the fenders without tubbing the bed. I'd have no issues with the 8.8 if I had one of those, and then I'd run conversion adapters/spacers to go from the 5 on 4.5" to 5 on 4.75" bolt pattern.
