8.8 rear in my A-body. I cant be the first!

With what Jgale and Fishy68 have mentioned. I am wondering if its really needed to narrow it or not.
Anyone know how much longer the drivers side axle is? If it is comparible to the offset of our A-bodies, then the only reason to narrow it would be for the older deeper offset wheels.
While I do prefer a deeper wheel in the rear, I plan to run the Bullit style rims.

As Jamesdart has mentioned he didnt cut his. Id really like to see some pics of one of these under an A, and uncut.

I may have to go get one very soon! LOL

I would be interested in seeing an explorer 8.8 under an A-body that hasn't been cut or narrowed on the one side.. If you want to avoid the whole cut/narrow issue just use the GT mustang 8.8, it's center section is more like the A-body and is in the middle and not offset like the explorer...
