2wd manual Drive Shaft Swap to a 4x4 Drive shaft Swap
Guys this info below came from the tech section, but it does not say if the drive shaft can be used in a 2-wd, in other words can I swap a 4-wd drive shaft to a 2-wd? Thanks
1998 and newer 4x4 Extended Cab Rangers have a nice one-piece shaft that is a 90% bolt-in swap and will keep you free from vibrations when you're riding high.
First, locate a one-piece shaft. Anything from a 98 or newer extended cab 4x4 Ranger or Mazda B-Series will work. It doesn't matter if it's a manual or automatic transmission, but the junkyard's computers will ask, so just pick either one. Some junkyards will also ask for the distance weld-to-weld: It is 47". Some of these will be aluminum and some steel. It's a matter of preferrence or availability which you get. Just make sure whatever it is it's not dented or bent.

YES AUTO TRANS AND MANUAL TRANS MATTERS!!!!!!!
ive made that mistake twice with ranger rear driveshafts converting to a one piece...you will need a ranger rear driveshaft from a same wheelbase, engine, transmission truck
looks from your profile like you have an 06+ ranger, which already has a one piece
