Hey,

I've got a 94 B4000, a rebadged Ford Ranger more or less. I'm seriously considering trading out my independent front suspension for a solid axle front end. I figure this is the best way to start my research...

What are your suggestions? Did any Rangers come stock with a solid front end? What other vehicles would be easy to swap in?

Any info is appreciated.... Thanks in advance

read those and youll be on the right track lol...

 

cant be done. no one has ever doen one on a ranger. youll be the first, let us know how it goes.

 

Oh man, so THATS what "SAS" means!

 

Yea, true that.

I will get it done, one way or another. I may need to swap in a F150 front end, (then the rear to match) but so be it. It'll get done...

 

lol, really. cant wait! maybe it will be done before mine, or ^^ Brentons, or jeys, or ryans, or all the others that have done theirs!

 

So what exactly did you do?

 

mine isnt done yet. still collecting parts. but i start a progress thread on mine. and jeys is like 50+ pages. youll be able to find all the info you need in his. if not, come back, as us. he did Brentons as well. I just finished one a chevy this past weekend.

 

Go to page 40 of Jey's thread, it has the list of all the parts he used.

I'm doing two things: 4x4 conversion and SAS at the same time. My truck is an incapable...uh...I mean INCREDIBLE 4x2 offroad machine...

I'm using a 78/79 (not sure anymore which, lol) F-150 Dana 44 and keeping the 31 spline 8.8 I put in there a while back.

 

I'm liking the info - thanks guys.
