explorer 8.8 in an a-body: experience needed

I have delt with a lot of full size ford trucks now for these the 8.8 is junk. but i have one in the back end of my cherokee and it has not failed me. now the plus for this axle, not sure what year your car is but it will give you the big bolt pattern two disk brake set up, put a proportioing vavle in line just after master cylinder, welding new spring pads on is not a big thing and drive shaft place can make or even shorten your existing drive shaft
