The easiest conversion is the same one you can do to a Fox Mustang 5 lug that retains the stock length axles. I used the 94-04 V6/GT set up with aftermarket brackets. I modded the stock ebrakes to work as well.Name: ReardiscConv1.jpg Views: 373 Size: 67.6 KBName: RearDiscConv3.jpg Views: 344 Size: 102.8 KB

Ima let you finish Grant, but in my opinion the Explorer is a truck cause it's solid rear axle and built on a truck frame.
