budget 86 ranger (lots of pics)

still havent gotten the chance to ask about the 2wd, but i need advice on welding my rear end up, do i need to take the dears out the weld them, or can i do it in the axle housing, and put rags down for the spark? if someone could give me the link to a thread for welding up a 7.5 it would be greatly appreciated.

and also, would a 302 starter work on my 2.9? i can get one of those for cheap, and i was told that it might work on my truck

dont think the starter will work, for welding you can do it in the truck, make sure you dont get any splatter over the ring and pinion, and if your never worried about takin apart the carrier again you can weld the spiders together and to the carrier thats what im gonna be doing cause if it breaks screw it i got lots of other axles

Agreed I wanna get 31's on mine but can't find the 4" to fit them under it haha

 

[4x4b2]

you dont need a 4 inch lift for 31's, my bronco had a 2 inch lift and had 31's on it, this has 7 inches of lift, and 31's are way to small

Okay sound good. I should be gettin a 3" body lift soon and I want to level out the front. Wouldn't coild spacers work? I'm not familar with those.
