I know i can find it somewhere in the forum but I wanted a little more of an opinion on the axle itself and also if it would work properly with my ranger the axle is out of a 74 wagoner it's a complete axle with 354 gears

'74 Wagoneer has the diff on the wrong side (passenger side). You would need an '80 or newer Waggy axle.

if you swap in a big engine the side of the tcase drop is easier.
nice 5.3 with a nv3550 and a chevy 208 case....probably use the waggy case if you use a ford trans easy enough.

look up nmb2's build
he has a cool setup that you can incorporate degree shims with if you want to go rear shackle.
i am running chevy 54's currently. bout 5 inches of lift on a front shackle setup.
