yes, but if i wanted i could just weld the parts from my axle onto it, i was more concerned with whether they were disk 8.8's and what the spline count was...

having trouble finding my turbo coupe rear and just looking at other options

(it also has 3.73's which is a good jump from my 2.89's)

i belive sploders have 31 spline 8.8 and are disk brakes, i could be wrong bough the axles but im pretty sure. i used to be really into rangers and i swaped a sploder rear into my lifted ranger running 33s because of higher spline count and better strength.

thanks, any idea if they are wider then the stang ones,

(more into broncos but the rangers are nice, ive got a 10.25 sterling in my bronco, 35 spline axles but its way overkill for the 33 inch tires i have on it)

The explorers rear has 31 spline axles. I believe it is 1'' narrower than the Ranger rear. http://therangerstation.com/tech_lib...plorer8_8.html
