Re: Finally I'm doing it!!! My 2000 Ford Ranger explorer 5.0 V-8 build thread with pi
very nice truck, pretty much the same as my truck from the factory besides auto trans and 3rd door. Can't wait to see this thing done. U doin an auto or a stick? Also what was the reason for upgrading the rear end, was it because you wanted the better rear end, or is it required when putting a 5.0 in the ranger, or is it for the sake of the disc brakes because i'm planning on keeping my stock ranger rear end and i've read that it will hold up. Thanks in advance

Re: Finally I'm doing it!!! My 2000 Ford Ranger explorer 5.0 V-8 build thread with pi
Alex, I HIGHLY recommend upgrading to the explorer rear end. So many better things with it. Bigger stronger rear end with 31 spline axle shafts, disc brakes, limited slip, its just much better. The 7.5 rear end is not going to take tons of abuse from the 5.0 it will most likely eventually fail if you romp on it a lot. I broke a 7.5 rear end from the torque of a 3.0 if that tells you anything lol. If you don't beat on it, it will be fine but with a 5.0 you will want to! Lol. So do yourself a favor and upgrade it now.
----------
Eric, yes it will be lowered 2/3. The explorer axle alone will drop the back 5" since it sits on top of the leaf springs so I am going to be adding some 2" lift shackles to bring it back up a bit, then in the front I will be throwing my 2" DJM coils from my last ranger in there.
