I'm new here and I figured that this was the place to go for a project that is on my mind.

I have a 1998 2.5L Ranger 2wd with the Mazda M5OD-R1. I am thinking of mounting a hi-pinion Dana 44 and clearanced Dana 60 in rear with 5.38 gears and 37-38" skinny tires.

I would like to know what tranny/transfer case options that I might have without going to an Atlas. Also if I can go with a stock ranger 4wd t/c (strength?questionable or not?) will I be able to bolt it to the rear of my transmission or will I have to swap out main shafts?

Is there other transmissions with lower first gear that will work with the 2.5L bellhousing bolt pattern?

Guys I appreciate your time and I will have more questions to come.
