Welcome to the forum

I want to say no, but I don't know why you couldn't, lol


Diagrams of front end suspension here: https://therangerstation.com/tech_li...spension.shtml

Not sure if 4x4 hub needs the pressure/seal of the front axle on the back side, that axle nut needs to be very tight, 162 ft/lb
With that I would say probably not
