Explorer 8.8

I'm thinking of using an Explorer 8.8 in my 64 Suburban.
My concern is the Explorer is offset 3-4"

Has anyone used one of these on a truck or Suburban? Not sure the driveline would clear the sides of the trailing arm crossmember.

Re: Explorer 8.8

I think the offset is small enough to where you would be OK.

You could get under your truck, disconnect driveshaft at the differential end, move that end 3" - 4" to the left, and see where that leaves your clearance at the crossmember loop.
