8.8 swap

Can someone tell me something? I have 73 duster ,I found a 2000 ranger 8.8 they say it’s 58.5 wide. My question is the offset vs explorer?( I know this axle is weak but better then a broke 8.25–for now working on a d60)I will not be narrowing wonder how it compares can’t find anything

Rangers have a 2" offset of the pinion. I would run it as is if the Ranger rear is what you are after.

Here is a good read if you are looking into an 8.8 swap, Ranger or Explorer:
The Ford Explorer 8.8-Inch Axle Swap


Good luck on whichever way you go.
