I just scooped up a 1999 Ford Explorer 8.8 rear axle with 3.73, limited slip, and its complete with disc brakes. The truck I have is a 81 D150 with the little 8 1/4 and its about had it. Jw if anyone has done this swap or not as disc brakes are cool and want to keep the same bolt pattern.
 
I have seen a few guy's on YouTube shorten them up so both tubes are the same length and use the same axle shaft. The center section is offset to one side. Common swap as they are quite plentiful and most have a limited slip.
