hey yall i got my 95 2.3L thats a manual 2wd and i found a tran and tcase and full front suspension with 6 inch lift on craigslist for 400 bucks and probably goin to get it tomorrow but i think i have to rebuild the tcase which is no big deal but anyone got any tips for this? i pretty sure its got a mech BW 1354 Tcase in it. im not new to fabing or wrenching but who has done this and got tips please chime in!!
 
I think the bitch you have to research is the 4x4 cross brace is different than the 2x.In other words this stuff won't bolt into your truck as I understand it.
 
Either swap the frame crossmember for one from a 4WD frame, or be prepared to do some serious fabbing and cutting on your existing one in order to get the axle brackets mounted.

I'd use a D44 straight axle from a Jeep Wagoneer or a F-150 (cut down) if converting a 2WD Ranger to 4WD.
The trans & t-case will work fine provided it's for the same engine as yours however.
