94 ranger 4x4 ext cab 4.0L
Looking at building a mild/mid travel pre runner. DD and toy. For the rear I was looking into an exploder 8.8 but then saw the F150 rear end. 7" wider than stock. Basic swap so to speak. Im a fabricator and bike builder. Decent mechanic. Not real versed on the ranger front end. 7" wider in rear makes the stance look funny with stock front width.
Can I swap a full length axle up front to match rear? How much work does this require? Im a little lost with the front suspension being used on another axle as the front axle is part of the suspension on my ranger (i think, never dealt with the beam suspension before, TTB if I'm not mistaken).
Feel free to talk to me like I'm 5, talk slow, lots of to the point details.
