Default Re: Looking for a better rear end

A 57 - 59 Ford is 57.25" flange to flange. The 95 - 01 Explorer is 59.5" flange to flange, common as dirt, 3.73 and 4.11 all had T-locks, can be narrowed easily by getting a second "short side" axle, all were 8.8 and while not bullet proof will handle most anything a street tire will give it.
