Like you found, the F-150 has an 8.8 up front and Ford offers a decent selection of ratios for it. You can also get a Torsen or other locking differential if you want traction for all of those electrons.
Do you know if the gears from a front Ford 8.8" diff will fit in an 8.8" rear diff? Yeah, I need an LSD.

Then you need another controller to control the two controllers and act as your center diff.
Yesssssss, all wheel drive so all the torques can be utilized.
Or you could wire the two motors together and use a single bigger controller. Which I realize would be exciting for some, but not the feel I'm going for.

I was stressed about 245/40-24 tires not being available. I tried 245/50-20 (in this rendering), and I think I like them even more. The shorter sidewalls provide more than enough road feel for me in the much heavier '98 M3, so I think these taller sidewalls will provide welcome comfort. But mostly I like the way they look, and they're common. Mostly on SUVs, one car so far, the Chrysler 300C.
Wheel widths are also a more correct 8" wide. I'm a little lost on picking an offset. I don't want to do 0mm. Maybe pick something from a production vehicle, like the Acura MDX, 55mm offset.
Shortened fenders to 180°, so they're not entirely awful to remove.
Still constantly giving me shivers.
I have so many things to learn and choose.
