I have a 1989 4x4 ranger with 3.73s (obviously, a 7.5"). I'm considering the options on a rear axle swap that will both strengthen the rear end, and give me rear discs. With the digging I've done so far, I think my purposes will be met by a 2010 rear axle swap. maybe an 8.8 with discs and the same ratio (for now).
What is required to do this? Are there any brackets/mounts that need welded or moved? Will I need to use 2010 shocks and leaf springs, or are mine compatible with the new axle?
How about the axle shaft? Is the bolt pattern the same, or do I need to get a different axle?
I would appreciate ebrake help too...
Thanks in advance! You guys are awesome!
