Solid axle with lift?

A friend of mine wants to put a solid front axle under his 92' 4x4 explorer and lift it 8" is this wise, and what axle would he use?

To keep it simple use a Dana 44 from a 66-77 Early Bronco, you will need all the suspension parts too.

Or you can go with full size width Dana 44 or 60s and a 9 inch or full width Ford 8.8.

A 8 inch lift will be about the minimum lift for this SAS.
