Hey Mike. its weird that you mention this cause i just went to the junkyard last week and purchased a 95 ford explorer rearend. I researched and found out that the 95-01 explorers came with 8.8 rearends with disc brakes. I picked mine up for just over $100 bucks and its a 8.8 with disc brakes 3.73 gears with locker and 31 spline axles and sway bar. it also came with a really cool 2 into one e-brake cable system that should be easy to hook up to a factory e-brake. the only thing i dont like about it is the c-clips that hold the axles in the housing. ive heard this is the weak link and if they brake you lose the axle and wheel. i was reading something about a way to weld these some how to solve this problem??? does anyone know about this???
