so i should just swap in the whole differential, what do i do for axles then.

\no an explorer rear is not a direct bolt in and will require mods to be adapted to the 5.0 mustang...what you should do is buy a new set of gears and an installation kit and take it to a pro and have them installed

RE: explorer rear end swap

The Explorer or ranger rearend will not work because of the transfer case they use an offset pinion so one side is longer than the other.
