I have a 1998 (that I bought new) 4x4 XLT Supercab. Ive put 345,00 on it and am just 5k into a reman. I know there was a model of Ranger (FX package maybe?) that had a 31 Spline 8.8. Is there a way to upgrade one that has the 1" axles and the 28 spline , or do I need to replace the entire rear axle assembly with a narrowed one from an F-150 (as Im sure I wont get lucky enough to find one that actually came from another ranger? Or does somebody make an aftermarket unit that you dont need a second mortgage for? Im currently working on rebuilding my original 4.0. Ive ported and matched a set of aftermarket heads. And I have one of those high lift (1.8:1) roller rocker setups from Tom Morana, plus some forged flat tops that should make 10:1 depending on my head gasket. Thank you
