ok i would like to know if a 7.5 axle will hold 33" up, cause i really dont wanna swap my axle

 

yeah your're gonna lose a lot of power, i know you dont wanna here it but thats the way it is

 

33's will be fine on the 7.5. Just don't abuse it.

 

What does that have to do with the 7.5 or 8.8 axle?

 

The size axle has nothing to do with losing power. Its what gear ratio he has in that axle.

 

33's on a 7.5....its not *IF* its gonna brake... its WHEN and it WILL.....

 

so should i just wait until i get a 8.8 axle to get 33s

 

no yu can get 33's its just a matter of time it will brake... head over to a you pull it yard and get yourself a 8.8 out of a newer ranger for like $150

 

or get 33s and be on the look for an 8.8

 

alright ill do that, but another thing is, i want to keep drum brakes cause i dont want to convert to disc brakes, to much work haha

 

if you get the right explorer axle... it comes with disk brakes

 

yeah but i want drums, cause i dont want convert to disc

 

what else is involved? modifying brake lines? maybeee? idk whats all involved.. but its not as much work if you get it with disc brakes already haha



buttt what ever floats your boat, if your already swapping axles, it shouldnt be that big of a deal

 

yeah but 7.5s dont have 4.10 gears, which is probably the minimum i would recommmend running 33s on

 

alright i see what your sayin now

 

modified brake lines, c-clips, and shock mounts

 

c-clips? why?

you forgot the spring perch's

 

I beat the hell out of my 7.5 w/ stock gears and 33x10.50r15's............ BNever a problem till the next kid rolled it.....

 

well im gonna keep my 7.5 til i find a cheap 8.8

 

yes they do, alot of the 4 cylinder autos come with 410's in a 7.5

 

where in hell did i say get disk brakes? would you re-read my post i SAID get a RANGER 8.8 those all come with DISH brakes... all you have to do is unbolt and rebolt. you *might* need the flange that goes to the axle from the driveshaft all you have to do is remove yours and put that one on the u-joint

 

i have been reading up on some swaps (cuz i wanna do one) and new c-clips were mentioned, i dunno if you dont need i guess thats better for all of us then...

yep forgot the spring perches, just a lil welding

 

really?? i didnt know that, i was pretty sure i was right...
sorry for the bad info

 

Yeah the 4 cylinder with the autos they give them 4:10 gears because its an auto and well 4 cylinder and they put the 410's in them to give it a little better acceleration.

My 07 with 2.3 and 5 speed though has 373's but I know with autos and the 2.3 and the older 2.5s they came with 410's.

 

ya and then you get a 93 4cyl on crack with 3.23 gears WTF
