I was told that the 8.8" rear axles on the early 90's Ford Explorers can replace the 7.5" axles on the Bronco II. I think the Explorer rear axle is called the Dana 35, but I am not sure. Is this a possible swap and how difficult would this job be?

The rear on the Explorers is an 8.8". It isnt too difficult except you have to relocate the spring mount from the bottom to the top of the axle tube. I think the rest easy.
