and the explorers are 59 1/2" wms .

I hate to disagree with you Gerald. But everywhere I have searched that is the info on the 8.8 in ranger/explorers I have found when doing the swap for the s-series
I don't see where you disagree with me, but I didn't reference any Explorer info in my previous post, just Rangers. I can't personally speak for all Explorers being 31 spline, but I have been into various Ranger 8.8s and noticed the trend: 2wd=28 spline, and 4x4=31 spline. I haven't had anyone bringing any Explorer rears to me to see inside firsthand about all of them being 31 spline, though. I'm not doubting the possibility at all - just merely stating that I haven't had my hands on one as of yet.
