fx4 level 2 rear axle questions

[Southerner]

Hey yall I just found the Fx4 level 2, 8.8 axle at my local truck shop, ive got a 96 ranger and was wonderin if it would bolt right in, some people have told me it will and some say that it wont. Ive been lookin at it for a couple days now and see nothing too different, it looks like i could bolt it in no problem, am I missing something? what do yall think, thanks

It'll bolt right in, check the tech library at top, where you should have gone first.

Will bolt right in with no modifications needed.

you'll need the ubolts and spring plates....bigger axle housing requires it.

get the plates and then go buy new ubolts dont reuse the old ones

If the u bolts are in good enough shape that the nuts come off, re use them.
