The Explorer axles are easier to find and typically much cheaper. The offset of the Explorer axle should only be an issue if you have a triangulated 4 link. It should be fine with a parallel 4 link, leaf spring, or trailing arm rear suspension.

Not all of the Mustangs have an 8.8 and I don't think you will have as many gear ratio options either.
