^^what he said a pef set up would be a ford 9 inch with some 373's but i'm sure you could use the common 8.8 out from under a stand and i'm sure there are a tun that are already geared

Use an 8.8 from a 95 and up Explorer, you would just have to probably shorten the axles though.  But you will get a 3.73 and disc brakes at the same time.  If you order new axles for it, Moser or whoever will be able to do the GM bolt pattern instead of the Ford pattern as well.
