The one we grabbed is also out of an Explorer. It fits well. I tried talking him into a 4 link, but he kept the leafs. Just bought new perches/ubolts, etc.

He is going to be running steelies, so that will allow him to run the same wheel since they are dual drilled 5 on 4.5 and 5 on 4.75.

When I put an 8.8 in my old 66 Mustang, I just used a conversion u-joint, but since he has no flange, we will buy one like the one in your link with the proper size for the u-joint.
