I have a 1987 ranger with a 6 in lift and a 3 in body lift and well it got rolled if you can imagine that regular cab short bed with 35s and I have almost new axles only 200 miles on them with 456 gears is it possible to swap this lift set up into a explorer?

Are the new axles a 8.8 and D35? If so, that'll be wonderful under the explorer... If you have a 7.5 and a d28, on the other hand, your screwed. The exploder will destroy them in no time, so you'll have to sell those bitches.

The body lift wont work properly on the explorer either I dont think. I believe the bed blocks are different from the other ones... Not 100% on that, but I know Bronco II body lifts are a different part # than a ranger... That being said, I expect it can be made to fit easy enough.
