A couple rear axle questions
So im planning on going to harrys you pull it Wednesday to get a rear axle with 4.10 gears. My original plan was to get an explorer axle and swap it in, but i just found out that i have to pay for every part separate (axle rotors calipers ebrake lines ect) so that is guna be 45 just for the axle. so i was thinking of just getting another ranger axle and strip everything off of it and just buying the axle and swapping all my rear brakes stuff onto it.
So my questions are
1. what year ranger axles will my brakes fit onto
2. what year rangers do the limited slips come in and what models other than the fx4 i dought i will find one of them but who knows.
Thanks guys

yea but rangers came with two different size rear brakes, i think one is 10 and one is 9 or something, i forget. and i dont disbelieve u about the 4.10s in an explorer, i just heard people say u can only find them in 4 banger rangers, i never looked for one myself, my explorer rear only has 3.27's

cant use the old bolts or top plate cuz they are made for the 3" axle tube, the bolts wont fit around the 3 1/4" axle tube of the explorer. believe me i wish that was possible cuz mine would be in already if it was.

I would try to find another junkyard. I got my FX4 L2 axle for $400 but it only had 5k miles on the truck and it was an engine fire that totaled it. I couldn't talk him down either because he knew what he had. Most 8.8s can be let go for 250-350 around here but you don't usually know the mileage on them because they scraped the truck long ago.

^^^ im getting the axle its self for 45 bucks then i have to pay for brake componets im spending less than 100 for the axle why would i go some place else. and im cutting the spring perch off the bottom and put it on the top of the same axle and the f150 ubolts are the some size as the explorer ones
