I just put an explorer 8.8 under my truck. Had to narrow the drivers side 3 inches to center the pumpkin. It's about 1 7/8 shorter than the stock mazda axle.

How'd you do that? And did it bolt up for the most part?

Nothing just bolts up fabrication is part of the fun in owning these trucks. Mine is bagged so I have a 4 link in the rear. Had to have a custom drive shaft made. Used the Lokar ec-81fu kit for the e brake cables. If you have extended cab you will have to order a longer inner cable for the passenger side.
