Re: 12 BOLT,What to do ??

Drag or street? If street then c-clip eliminators aren't needed and may not even be recommended depending on who you ask. A better solution is some weld-on F**d ends, especially if you are gonna narrow it. Then you can find all sorts of disc brake options. Moser will make axles to fit the conversion.

You can get stronger axles from Moser and others with any bolt pattern you like, even with two patterns.

Some use the cast rear diff cover with the cap preload for added strength. Or high strength caps at a minimum.

Another consideration is the Explorer 8.8 with disc and posi. Replace the long side axle with a short side axle, cut the tube to fit and weld new perches. Its a cheap way to get narrowed/posi/disc. It has c-clip axles though.
