8.8 Rear Swap-EZ?

I am looking at doing a budget A body in the next year or so. I wouldn't maybe call it a G machine, but i will install 17's etc.

The Explorer rear looks good.

My only concern is the offset driveshaft. It should be fine, but it isn't so far to one side that it hits or rubs is it?

The other issue is plates for the U bolts. Can I use the plates and U bolts from the explorer?

I would like to keep things stock 8.8 width for now.

Thank you, ROB
