rear suspension questions
hello, first post
I have a 1996 ford ranger regular cab step side 2wd 5 speed 2.3
I just swapped a 5.0 out of a 1991 ford mustang gt, dynoed at 330 too the wheels, so I bought an 8.8 out of a 2001 ford explorer. it has 3.73s and an open diff, so I ordered a jegs mini spool, new backing plates, brakes etc
I am going to install in sprung over, which leads me to a few questions
1. are the spring perches the same width from the explorer or do I have to order/install new perches
2. I am going to C notch the frame above the axle, anybody on here have experience with it? point me in the right direction to buy a good notch kit
thank you
