You could grab the u joint flange from a ranger so it will use the 1310 joints and bolt right to the 8.8s pinion flange, that way you use all the same ones front to rear. Don't know the part number for the conversion joint though sorry

You can also find the correct one on drum brake Explorers if I remember correctly. Here's the Dana #: DAN-2-2-1379

or buy one. I think it cost me like $50 local at the spicer dealer. The combo u joints are pricey, and hard to find on the trail if you need one.

Not really on both accounts. The correct spicer 1310/1330 joint (part # 5-134x) is like $25 and any parts store will most likely have some in stock (at least their equivalent brand).
