i believe all explorers had the 31 spline 8.8 axle, which is the one you would want. Some rangers had the 28 spline 8.8, and only the newer FX4 Level 2 Rangers had the 31 spline 8.8.

It's the unit FRPP offers, it's actually the one I use!! Inexpensive and rebuildable, get the one with carbon fiber clutches

As long as it's an 8.8 and 31 spline, it will be fine.

I am using one with 31 spline Moser axles, and have been very pleased
