2wd BII uses different I beams than a 2wd Ranger. 4wd beams interchange with Ranger, BII and Explorer swapping.

They did change over the years, they did make the 4wd axles better over time but they all swap (as an assembly) you can’t take a beam from a 97 and swap it by itself onto an 86 but you can the whole axle.

It is neat that 4wd beams bolt into a 2wd BII, that won’t happen on a ranger or Explorer.

so 2wd I-beams from 80s rangers won't work on a 2wd bronco ll.i wonder how different they really r?

To convert a Ranger front end to 4wd you have to change the engine crossmember and pivot brackets. To convert a BII to 4wd you have to swap the axle.

4wd front axles are interchangeable with both.
