see, i'd likely go with the last one, because it's a truck axle. so most likely the big bearing/big brake axle. and i don't think the first one has brakes. those added up are a bit of cash.
a spool is only about 70 bux.

the first one says 5 on 5 and the last one says 5 on 5.5

on a side note, that front 60 is a good deal.

The second one is full width so you'd need a matching front axle, the first doesn't mention width so you 'd have to check. Car versions are usually the same width as a 8.8 out of an explorer, narrower than stock, and have the 5x4.5 bolt pattern, small bearing, and 28 spline. But they list that one as 5x5 bolt pattern so who knows what shafts are in it and what width. Both seem a bit high. I sold my last one for 75 bucks complete out of a 79 F150.
