I am gettin ready to buy a 88 ranger with a dana 44 all ready in the frount and comes with a rear 44 also. Are they good axles? I am runnin a 33 inch tire with I dont think would be ther problem I see ppl runnin 33s on dana 28s.
Also what is the procheder to puttin the rear end in? Do i have to cut the spring perch off the rear end and move it outwards?

What year is the front 44 out of?

I do not know. I will try to find out. What is the best year for the axles? I am new to all this sas's and all that

A few years used vac. hubs instead of manual hubs. Somewhere in the early 80s. Like, around 83ish.

4wheelparts sells a spindle nut kit that allows you to install manual hubs.

they have manual hubs I know that for shure.
