hey guys i got my ranger about 5 months ago and it runs perfect but iv always wantyed to strait axle it i got a buddy who has a dana 44 rear and front axle it comes with coils stearing arms everything to complete the strait axle it came off his 2000 dodge ram 1500 would it fit my ranger

 

uh.. yes. but its not gonna bolt in by any means.


Anything will fit. remember thats a full width.... WIDE LOAD sign for sure.

 

the front is probably a passenger side drop, so no...do some research on here, look at Zabeard and Rengererv just to name a few

 

make a signature so we know what you are driving. older 3rd gen w/ TTB is more bolt in then a newer 4th gen w/ IFS.

 

dodge went do drivers side drop in the 90's so it could be made to work... but the long side tube has a disconnect as well as a 2 piece shaft. some people could live with that but others would retube it and throw in a single shaft. they run unit bearings instead of spindles so no lockouts. and a spin tec is over a grand. it could be made to work if your not concerned with these things but id rather find a late 70's ford d44.

by the sounds of it you plan on running the dodge links and coils. the coils would be too heavy for a ranger and a 4 link is hard to setup because of the limited space. with the ford d44 you could just run leafs and throw on a track bar for road manners. much easier to set up than a link type suspension and fine for MOST wheeling

 

na its driver side drop

 

thank yall for the help im new to ranger forum how do i make a signiture

 

go into your control panel and you should see it there "edit sig"

 

Welcome to RF!

This swap will take PLENTY of fabrication and a knowledge of suspension angles and stuff like that.

Do tons of research before buying anything so you will know what you are getting into.
