i-beam swap

[ricardo93]

correct me if im wrong but explorers use i-beams, and i was wondering if it was possible to swap the beams from a first gen explorer to a first gen ranger and if it would provide more play in the axles or not with a lift on it, or if it would make lifting it easier.... thanks

This is a common upgrade for 4wd. The first gen explorer has d-35 TTB beams and they swap in place of the first gen Ranger d-28 TTB beams. I imagine that a two wheel drive Explorer would be the same, but I don't know if they made 2wd Explorers. Someone else please help.
Thanks,

Richard

But would this make lifting it easier?

No just give you an upgrade in axle if your ranger has a dana 28

Did you know that TRS has a large tech section? Here is a link to suspension and body lifts that should give you all the info you need;
