I'm planning on swapping my 7.5" rear end out to a 8.8" rear end.

My Ranger is a 1990 XLT Super Cab and it did come with the 7.5".

I'm planning on using a Ranger 1990, 1991, or 1992 8.8" rear end so it should be a bolt in.


Will my existing drive shaft work or do I need to get a new one for the 8.8" rear end?

Thanks!

the flange for on your current DS should work on the 8.8.
