Re: rear end with disks

The Ford Explorer mentioned above is probably your best bet. From 95-01 I think or close to that. They came with a beefed up 8.8 with limited slip, disc brakes, 3:73 gears (have 4:10 and 3:42 available as well i think), sway bars and e-brake cables. They are 59.5" wide factory and if you do the short side axle conversion then you can narrow it 2 more inches and not have to send your axle off to have it narrowed. Also the explorer rearend comes with the larger 3.25 axles tubes and the 31 spline axles. It is stronger then the 9" with 28 spline axles and also beefier then the dana units
