Rearend for my car?
Not sure if this is where i need to post this or not. But i was wondering if i could use complete ranger rearend in my 4 banger car? That way i could 5 lug it. Or do i just have to use the axels. Keep in mind the car is still a 4 banger not planning on putting a v-8 in it at all. SAVE SOME MONEY ON GAS!!!!!! LOL.

I want to say no. The rear end housing from the Ranger is set up for leaf springs... and as far as using the axle's I think the Ranger axle's are too narrow.

Think one side is longer than the other. Better to come pick one up from my house and put it in. I'll do you right. 3.55 or 3.08. 5 lug or 4 lug. stock or the wider svo axle. A disc brake upgrade, hey!!!
