Also kinda envious of having an extended cab, but I am using trucks and parts mostly from what I have to start with.

You did a swap on the master cylinder to a Dodge unit?
What other brake upgrades have you done?

Rear brakes are a disc brake conversion kit for a 31 spline 8.8. My axle wasn't complete when i got it. Front are dana 44 TTB stuff. Master cylinder is an explorer if I remember correctly. I had a dodge cylinder. I realized it was oversized after years of battling soft pedal.

Ah, okay. Makes sense.
I know there aren’t many options for Ranger brake upgrades, so I was curious

We need to take this experience and turn it into a 'How To' guide for the next person that wants to LS swap a Ranger 4x4.

Everytime people ask I just tell them to look into different swaps first.




Transmission is out though. Pump is definitely broken. Converter seems okay still but going to email Circle D and see what they say.
