1989 ranger suspension.

[Dpw541]

Just wondering if the front end of my 1989 ranger was any strong then the bronco 2 front ends. I hear its easy to swap it with explorer running gear and its twice as big.

Use the search button to confirm; pre-90 ranger and b-II are d-28, after are d-35. There are lots of caveats though, so do your research.

Not many caveats in swapping a D35 under there (shortening the front driveshaft is probably the single one there is, and often times if you have a suspension lift, you can get by without doing it).
