if its only 100 bucks then do it, but you would be much better off with axles from an explorer......

Actualy I got the 1988 Ranger and I want to put the 1990 axle's on the 1988 Ranger...Will that work with no problems with the swap>?

The front you will need the tie rods for the axle from the Explorer (Dana 35). It is all a bolt in swap in the front.

In the rear, you will need to weld new spring perches to the top of the axle tubes. After you do that, it too is a bolt in swap.

For $100, I wouldn't pass them up.

for some reason i thought 90 ranger, never heard of a 90 explorer.

There never was a '90 Explorer. I just assumed he miss printed or doesn't know the year.
