Ok i have a lil 4 cyl ranger that im running larger than normal tires on. I have to replace the passenger side leafspring pack so i deciding on putting in a different ratio rear end in it so that i can move the tires a lil easier any ideas? Also how do i identify the ratio of the rear end i know usally u can tell by one of the vin numbers... any help apperciated

 

should be a tag on the cover of the diff.


there should also be an axle code on the sticker on the drivers side door jamb

 

Take a look here also, read it, then scroll down to Ranger axle codes so you can see what you have.

Ford Ranger Rear Axles - The Ranger Station

Lots to learn in that tech library they have.

 

Ahh i seee thankee lots of great info over there..... hmmmm does the 8.8 rearend directly bolt in to the spot where my 7.5 is?
