d44 ford ranger

[Joeink]

hello everyone.

I am planning on putting a D44 on a 93 ranger it is out of a 79 F150. how much will axles stick out for the body of the ranger? I am putting a 4BT with a NV4500 tranny out of a 01 dodge 2500. will the axle be some what easy to hook up or what kind of mods am I going to run into to make this work. this truck is going to be my every day driver. wont see to much of the dirt. for now at least till I can talk my wife in to letting me do it again..... I would feeling like the feed back please. have a great day.

this is my truck on 44 in tires with 12 wide wheels and 5.5 in backspacing.

8 in wheels 4.5 back with 33's

10 in wheels 5 in back with 37 in tires.



all with 4 in bulged and cut factory fenders...except it has a flat bed now of course.

my axle is 79 dana 60 and about 2 inches wider then a 44 though iirc.
