Definitely need 8.8...and because of my wheel/tire combo and ride height i need the 89-92 width. If I have to i have a mustang trac loc in can put in, can't deal with that one wheel peel...prefer 3.55 or 3.73 gear ratio but I can deal with any ratio@fordgasm69 I'm not too far from you, between Roberta and Fort Valley. Might be able to help out with the search, might even have something already. Few questions:
1) Are you certain you need an 8.8?
Rangers could also come with a 7.5", especially in those early years. I might have more access to the 7.5" from those years and 8.8" in the 93+variety. Like @RonD said, the 93+ axles are like an inch wider per side, but it's hardly noticable once installed.
2) What gear ratio?
3) Open or limited slip?

I don't have any 8.8s of that year range, but I will keep my eyes open. In the next day or two I'll see if I can find the info for the guy I bought my driveshaft off of last year. It came from that year range and had an 8.8, but he was getting close to scrapping it at that time.Definitely need 8.8. Definitely need 89-92 width because of my wheel/tire combo and ride height
