I have a fullsize bronco donor and want to use the axle but i'm not getting much help from the search.....just curious if anyone has measurements on one or if anyone runs it....or if it may be too much work...

Just a ball park guess, but I think it'll be some where around 8 or so inches wider then your Ranger.

All the more reason to go full width front

Good strong axle, just be sure to weld the tubes to the centersection (also, use of a full carrier locker (Detroit, ARB, etc.) will add some durability as well, the stock diff carrier isn't the greatest)

waaay worth the conversion to go full width. weld the spring perches using the same measurements off your old axle
