As for the drive shaft, you and either relocate the carrier bearing down a little bit from original height, or buy a 1 piece driveshaft off a newer ranger. Check the tech library for info on this stuff.

By drop plate I assume you mean the plate that drops the passenger axle beam pivot down. This is a no no, unless properly bumpstopped, but then you are losing most of your travel/ flex. I recommend just buying new brackets that avoid the plate style extension.

Wonder what shipping costs.... I just built a 3" .250wall DOM 1 piece driveshaft and got it balanced..... would be perfect for ya....

 

[daveguy]

How much do you want for the driveshaft. And shipping shouldnt be that bad.

 

[wahlstrom1]

Was thinking $150? Wrecking yard stock shafts are $200....
