Hey everyone,
My dad and I just picked up a 87 2WD ranger with a 7.5 rear. After looking around online and on here, I found that we could install a 8.8 out of a explorer.
We stopped by our local junk yard to take a look around to see if they had any there.
We found a 8.8 in a explorer that the leaf spring are on top of the rear just like a ranger, and it also had disc brakes.
All the others had the leaf's under the rear.
Does any one have any good links to this swap so I can figure out what rear I need to get?
Also, what brake booster and master cylinder is everyone using with 4 wheel disc brakes??
