Beam Mount Position - Ranger vs. Bronco Full Size

[FastEddy760]

Hello All,

I mounted some full size Bronco beams (and a Dana 44) on the stock positioned Ranger mount points. 1997 Ranger Xtra Cab 4wd / 1994 Bronco Beams

I'm curious if anyone knows the answer(s) to the following:

- Is the mount points on a Ranger, the same distance as a full size Bronco?

- Will the Bronco axles fit from Dana to hubs?

- Do I need to cut and fab new mounts for the beams in order to use the stock Bronco axles?


The steering is not a concern at this point, as we can fab that up.
There is a bit of difficulty in testing the fitment as one of the axles disappeared and I need to find another. Otherwise we would be further along in mocking, measuring and visualizing.

F-250 Axle Shaft on Passenger Side

Found out that the F250 passenger side axle shaft is 1.25 inches shorter and this is all that is needed.

Might still need to create a bracket due to axle rub at full droop. YMMV.
