You will need brake line adapters but you can get those from autozone. Not sure if you have the right u bolts but i know for the explorer rear end i wasnt able to reuse my old ones from the 8 inch. I also used the stock explorer shock mount and had a piece welded on so i can use mustang shocks. Hope this helps
