Hello there,
Just recently picked up a 1993 Ford ranger 4x4 STX Supercab with 4.0L and a 5 spd. The problem is that it has a 4" lift and 31" tires and both axles are open diff and 3.27 gears.
That being said I have plenty of room to fit 33s and want to regear and rebuild my axles. I was planning on 4.56 gears and wanted to know if anyone has run that ratio with 33s and if my stock 3.27 carriers would work with that ratio. I know I need a notched center pin n the rear axle but wasn't sure if it needed different carriers all together. I have a Jeep JK and on those if you want to regear, 3.37 and lower(numerically higher), and you have factory 3.27 ratios you will need new carriers.
Thanks
