The 8.8 it a couple of inches wider, I needed a narrower rear end to tuck the wheel/tire combo..
I would have gone this route, but I've owned 3 Explorers and they all had rear end issues and I'm a little bitter..
I'll have some 17x9's out back with some sticky 285 tires..
Then some 15's with drag slicks for track abuse.. I'm thinkin Weld Pro stars.. Always been a fave..
It'll be forward 4-linked within a month or so on QA1 coilovers..
