i just need to figure out axle codes now to get the right gears lol

so nobody has personal experience with this rear end?

thanks chance i dont have any experience with mismatched gears.

waggy d44 is 6 lug from the factory and the same width as the 233. and yeas im hoping on landing a 4.90 rear to match with a 4.88 front. im hoping that will be close enough?

im thinking about swapping one of these into my ranger and am looking for advice thru experience.
