[1990rangerxlt]

i have a 1990 ranger and i have just been given the opertunity to buy a totaled 1997 ranger 4x4 i was wondering if anyone knew if the suspension on these two trucks and interchangable ?

Is your '90 a 4x4? If so, I would see no problems. People commonly take the Dana35 front alxe from a '90+ Ranger and put it onto one that has a Dana28 like yours probably has.

but the 97 has the ifs dana 35 right? not the ttb dana 35...

 

[superds]

Nope, the IFS started in '98. The '97 still had TTB.

 

[1990rangerxlt]

so they are not interchangable or were you saying nope to the axle

 

[adsm08]

He's saying no to IFS, yes to interchangable.

 

[superds]

He's saying no to IFS, yes to interchangable.

Correct, thank you.

sorry guys, was thinking it was 97 it started ifs. i was thinking the one my other 8.8 came out of was a 97, but must have been a 98 model
