The explorer axle is also factory disc braked after the 1995 model year I believe. I ran one in my Bronco II trail truck for years and loved it. Axle tubes are big, 3" from what I remember. I had a hell of a time locating pre-fabbed spring perches, as they are all for smaller diameter tubes. I'll try to post some pix if I get the chance. Anything inparticular you want a view of?
