The older Explorers (91-94) also have the 8.8, but those have drum brakes. 95-01 have discs. Some were also equipped with an LSD.

Those have 28 splines, not 31.

To the OP, I recommend replacing the weak carrier with a full case locker.

EDIT....
Weren't you selling your XJ?

the mustang 8.8 is also smaller side to side, with equal length tubes.

I dont reccomend it for a jeep, but for a hot rod, its a good housing to start with, full case spool. mosers mmmmmm

Also all mustang 8.8's have casted bushing eyelets in the pumpkin for the upper control arms. As stated above, they are not suited for jeep fitment.
