Default Ultimate Axle Swap
1980's Ranger single cab with a flatbed. I was thinkin with dana 44's or dana 60's. Then eventually do a Cummins 4BT swap. Can anyone tell me the ultimate set up as far as axles go to match the 4BT? Does anyone know where I can find some good instructions on the install also?

the best suitable axles would be dana 44's dana 30's are to small and the 4bt has too much torque for the dana 30 to handle
