i have an 85 ranger 4x4 reg cab. 1350 case, 7.5 rear, spicer 2 piece drive shaft. will i have to swap drive shafts if i go to an 8.8? is so, i have to swap the rear output flange on my 1350 right? and will an 8.8 really "bolt in" no welding? if so, what years are direct bolt on? will my rear sway bar still bolt on? can i keep my drums off the 7.5? can i use the same shocks? is the flange on the 8.8 the same as the 7.5?
i know some of the years newer than my 85 have different drive shafts becuase its always been a pain getting the flange off the transfer case of a newer junkyard ranger when ever i've swapped blown cases.
thanks for all the help in the past TRS!
