Uh, this is gonna be more @bobbywalter territory…Dish, spill the wisdom. I’ll guide you if it’s too weird & violates the integral beauty and function of what is “Ranger,”. And @Robbie can guide you regarding voiding the warranty
D-44 straight axle front, pushed forward enough to make use of a junkyard driveshaft for a front shaft. Doubler on the t-case and push the rear axle (leaning towards an 8.8) back far enough to still use a stock Ranger rear shaft. Whatever else I have to do to make it work. Shooting for 38-44” tires and some sort of nod towards ”street legal” while cutting anything that gets in my way (along with all the damage from the wreck that caused it to be parked). Depending on time and money and such, possibly a drivetrain swap. If not, 4.0 and modded A4LD will do for now… possibly eventually superduty axles if I happen to score a set instead of the 44 and 8.8
