Hi Folks, I've been a visitor to TRS for about a year and decided to jump in. Everyone here is very friendly and helpful.
I'm interested in putting in a Dana 30 front axle and just enough lift to level it out. Daily driver/Weekend wheeler.
Escort_gts, Truck of the month winner was nice enough to answer a couple questions then suggested I post a new thread and get other people's advice also.
I have a 1997 Ranger extended cab, 4.0, 2WD, Automatic transmission (5R55E).
Question 1) Is there a transfer case that will bolt up to this tranny?
BW 1354? for example?
2)Do I need to find a different auto trans?
3) Escort_gts suggested a manual transmission. Is manual my BEST option?
Thanks for your input.
