94 Explorer 4 X 4 rear ends into 88 B11 ?

[2 bronco 11s]

Can get the complete front , I beams and everything attached. Pitman arm and tie rods etc . .. complete rear end both driveshafts . Is this a direct bolt in . I realize there’s some drive shaft mods . Thank you

Front is a direct bolt in, you need the steering linkage with it. Driveshaft will need to be shorter.

Rear is a different story, you will need to cut the leaf spring perches off and put them on the top of the axle, add shock mounts, and you may need different U bolts and plates. Your current driveshaft should work but you'll need to drill & tap holes for it in the axle flange as the bolt pattern will not be the same - easy fix.

Thank you. Is there a rear end housing with the bigger gears that’s a direct bolt in ? Thanks in advance

Ranger 8.8 is close... not much of an upgrade though.

FYI, the leaf spring perches on a B2 are spread apart at a different length than they are on a Ranger axle. IIRC they are wider by something like an inch or two. Ran into that with a B2 axle that someone swapped into a Ranger that I ended up with, it did not fit very well. So really, the ONLY truly "bolt in" axle for a Bronco II is one that originally came out of a Bronco II, and those would all be 7.5s.

Direct bolt in? no, bronco II's have different leaf spring pad placement than Rangers, depending on your use a 7.5" can handle some abuse, I think the explorer 8.8 is the closest to bolt in you'll get...
