I believe a 99+ Mustang GT is closer to the width you would need and has a centered housing. These are more expensive than the Explorer and you would have to deal with the bolt pattern a different way. I don't know what gear ratios are available with these.

Mustang rear axle will also be for coil springs, but you can deal with that. I am upgrading to the Explorer rear axle with 3.73 gears. Should work great with my 700R4 trans with 0.70 overdrive.
