99 Exploder front axle interchange

[UrbanRedneckKid]

My 99 5.0 Ex has serious front axle issues, and needs replaced.
Will any 97-01 axle work, more specifically from a 98 4.0.

My awd case is locked up, but ruined my front diff before I pulled the driveshaft. I'm acquiring the parts for a manual t-case swap this weekend, and my brother has a 98 4.0 Ex getting SAS'd.

(yes, both axles are 3.73)

Well it's a good thing I own two Rangers as well, otherwise I'd have no reason to continue my membership.

They are all a low pinion D35. 02 and newer use the 'super' D30

Sorry I didn't get to this sooner, I unfortunately do have a life.

Thank you Ryan.

I've also confirmed it on EF, and by checking part numbers on bearing kits, cv shafts, and seals.

I just had to make sure, I've seen lots of cars with the same axle/ transaxle, with different engine options, take different CV shafts, or have different mounts.
