No, the Explorer rear end is different, it has different mounting points to the axle, shocks, etc.

If you want to do an 8.8" swap, get one off of a Ranger, not Explorer.

Why do you want a 8.8?? If your re gearing then yeah just look for a 8.8 with the gears.l/s whatever. But if your doing this b/cyou think7.5's are weak they wont break unless you are doing a real steep mountain climb or unless you got a v8 under the hood...

Maybe he is in the works. But grab one from a 4.0 ranger, they all have them.
