my chevy double cardan joint doesn't have enough travel in it for the amount of down travel i had, i cant imagine a LP axle, hell i've stuck the yoke on a few rocks too.
im telling you... leafs < 3 link the driveshaft does not need that much travel on a linked suspension

btw Corey, no way is that 3 link upper mount gonna fit you need to just make the smallest mount you can.

you know if you look at my pics i changed the whole exhaust system out

Looks like a good start. You're gonna have to be easy on it with 4d's though.

One thing I can't understand though is why everybody who uses a Waggy D44 converts their rear axles to 6x5.5 instead of converting the front to 5x5.5. All you need is spindles and a set of hubs, boom, you're done. Just seems a lot easier and cheaper to do it that way, but to each their own. Oh well, just something that has perplexed me.

Good luck with the swap.

i hope your good with a micrometer
Pirate4x4.Com - Extreme Four Wheel Drive


measure the ranger DS, should be a 1330. if the 9" yoke is smaller its probably a 1310, what was the axle out of?

If its bigger, unlike what you said, and measuers almost to what a 1350 is, it might be what the dt shop called "oversized ford caps" which is bigger than a 1330 but smaller than a 1350

The difference between those 2 is less than having his rear tires lower by 10 psi compared to the front. I think you can usually go within .05 or something like that
