Ok.. So here's my situation... I'm new to the whole Ranger scene. I'm actually trying to put together my Lil cousins truck as a surprise for him when he returns from boot camp.

I found a guy that has a set of drop beams at a killer price. He bagged his truck and doesn't need them anymore. The thing is, they're from an 85, and my cousins truck is a 96.

Will the 85 beams mount up on a 96? Has anyone tried this before? If so, what beside the rotor and caliper need to be changed? Any info you guys can provide would really help and be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The entire Knuckle/Spindle assembly would need to be swapped.
You'd end up with a brake system downgrade.

You'll be far better off with the correct beams for the 96.
