I've got an 87 Ranger (axle code 84) and have the chance to buy a 96 explorer rear axle (axle code 45) which is a considerable upgrade, in strength. My question is that the Ranger axle is a 3.45 ratio and the Explorer is a 3.55 ratio. Am I asking for trouble when in 4wd? Is the 0.10 difference enough to cause failure in the front axle? (still currently a D28, looking for the mid-90's D35 to swap in)
Secondary question, anyone near NY have a D35 to part with?
Thanks
