Ok, so here's the deal, a friend of mine gave me an axle to put under my 85 ranger. It's a Dana 30 from a Jeep. I checked it out and the pinion is above the center line of the axles, does this mean it's a high pinion? Also, is it wider or narrower than the stock 7.5" rear end? And how to I find out what gears are in it?

Any info on any of this would help.

Thanks

As far as the width is concerned, just measure it. Also, the width and gearing should be stamped or have a metal tag that is stamped attached to the pumpkin.
