dont get me wrong, i give my truck hell. i just hate looking at dents and scratches if i know its preventable.

btw, thanks on the compliments. my buddy gave me hell when i told him i was using a 44 for the swap. he tried and tried to convince me that a 60 was what i needed. then another buddy of mine told me how he had to go back to the 44 on his TJ due to the fact that he kept ripping his frame apart with the heavy ass 60s.

so if you can make a dana 30 hold up, ur the man.

I agree, a D44 can be built for a ranger that will take all the abuse you can dish out and a 9" or an 8.8 can too; both good axles.
c_note, how the ride and do you think the setup could be made with a little less lift ?

it is possible to get a lower profile with a dana 44 from a 79 ford. it doesnt have the upper control arm mount above the pumpin so that would give you atleast 2 more inches of clearance so you can drop it that much lower. or you can keep the 5 on 4.5 by using the same axle as i and just cut off the upper mounts and use the same radius arm setup as the ford axle instead of the 4 link like the jeeps. i hope this made some sense

I think I may have seen this beast in person last night. Did you happen to drive down mountain road yesterday evening? I saw a ranger that looked a lot like this one with a canoe on the roof.
