d28/7.5 to d35/8,8

[wantaranger]

im getting a d35 and 8.8 for my 89 bronco 2, the axles are from a 94(?) explorer. can i use the explorer shaft and just have it shortened up? because i read the flanges arent the same size? and same goes for the front driveshafts? are the flanges the same for hte front and can i use the same shaft? and are the shock mounts on the front the same? i read that they arent the same on the back so will i have to buy some more mounts or are they simple enough to make? and when i buy a lift kit, do i have to buy it for the 89 bronco 2 or for a 94 explorer? also are all explorer spring perches on the bottom of the axle or just the 95+ ones? and can i use the coils from the explorer for some more lift?
thanks in advance

you need the b2 front drive shaft to bolt to your tcase. you might need a u joint with 2 sizes but im not sure. i think you will have to swap out the rear flange on you drive shaft with the one on the explorer drive shaft but you will need your drive shafts.
