    Here's one of the places I used for info when I was trying to decide which one I wanted to use. I ended up getting a 98 up explorer one. It wouldn't work with stock rear fenders for my car but I already had wider rear fenders and it fits great. Fitting the triangulated 4 link is taking some extra work due to the offset of the center.

    Here is another link to help you identify what gears and if it is or isn't a LS if you go looking in the junk yard too.

    I really wanted a 3.55 but couldn't find one so I went with a 3.73 instead.
