Hey guys!
I was wondering about doing an axle swap for my ranger. I have a 2004xl 2wd. I currently have the 7.5 w/ 3.73 gears. I've seen threads about axle swaps on here before but I was wondering if it would fit.
I was looking a buying a 8.8 w/ 4.56 gears. It came off of a bronco 4x4. It also has ford racing gears and a detroit air locker, as well a mag tech diff cover.
I am wondering a couple things:
1. Will this be a direct bolt in? (it looks like the shock mounts are on the same side?)
2. Is $1000 a good price for everything (it was all rebuilt, repainted, and regeared 3,000 miles ago)
3. Will the brakes be drum or disc?
If there is anything else that you'd think is helpful please let me know as I am not super mechanically inclined.
Thanks guys!!
