31 spline fx4 axle brakes vs. 28 spline 7.5 or 8.8
Had a question for you guys. I'm in the process of getting a fx4 31 spline 8.8 to swap in to my 1999 ford ranger 4x4 with a 7.5. The problem is the fx4 axle doesnt come with drums or any brake assembly. Can I swap in my current brakes assemblies? Or do I need to get assembly? If anyone knows were I can get a complete assembly without having to part it together that would be awesome too. Theres no junkyards with rangers nearby so I useally have to order stuff.

Sounds good but I don't want to have to swap the shock mounts around and I kinda like the torsen in the fx4. Are the explorer discs just plug and play?

Im positive its 31 spline. That makes sense. Do you know where I could get complete drums with all the parts?

I bought all my stuff from autozone back in the day, but RockAuto Auto Parts would sell all of that as well.
I would try rockauto.com
I think the pads are interchangeable on a 10" but the backing plates are different as the 4 bolt pattern is different on the axle tube.

Im not too keen on clutch based limited slip. I am regearing to 4.88 too before its installed. So theres gunna be quite abit of money tied up in it. Id rather not pay someone to reweld the spring pads too, but Im gunna price it all out.

I was going to use my 94 Navajo Axle because of the 70K miles but I may look at one of the JY setups.
Are all of the Disc Brake Setups backward compatible ?
Thanks

Sorry if this has been said before… i was just at a JY and they had a lot of Ex Axles with Disc, asking price ran from $125 to $175 (why the difference I do not know).
