Quick question

I am pretty sure the answer is no, but I need to know for sure. Will a locker for a jeep rear D35 fit into a ranger front IFS D35? I dont think so, but there is an E-locker for sale near me for CHEAP and if it fits I wanna jump on it.

Nope. Anything having to do with the diff, except gears, has to be Ranger specific. Why? The distance between the carrier bearings is less in the IFS diff vs the normal 35 diff.

The only option you have for the front are lunchbox lockers like the aussie locker.
I had them front/rear on my sport trac, but only got the front installed shortly before I moved. But I did get to run it at browns camp a couple of times and it was awesome. Steering was a little tighter in 4x4 but the truck pretty much went where ever I pointed it.
It wasn't as bad in the snow as some people say either. Pulled a loaded up 6x14" enclosed trailer across the country through a ton of snow, no problems.
