I have a 2001 Ranger with the 7.5 axle with 9" drums. I also have a complete 31-spline 8.8 out of a 95-01 explorer that I want to swap in. I've done a few Ranger 8.8 swaps and have the perches and shock mounts all figured out but this is my first disc brake conversion. I tried searching and read the tech library articles but I still have a couple questions:
1. What parking brake cables do I use? The ones for a 95-01 explorer or a 10-11 Ranger?
2. It seems to me that the stock proportioning would be all wrong with rear discs. Do I swap to a different MC, bypass the ABS unit, or .....?
Thanks for the help guys!
