Re: Rear End Swap

The 4x4 rear axle is only 58" wide, you may want a ZR2 which is 63". I got some good info from fredscarryall "US Army Sargent slam" build thread. He has all the S10 axle measurements on page 6

I ended up getting an Explorer 8.8, it's 59.5" wide 3.73 gears. The 63" ZR2 was just too wide for me.
