my buddy said he wanted to do a limited slip in the rear end of his 2wd ranger... i told him why dont you just swap in a locker... he said no i'd rather goto a junk yard and buy an explorer or 4wd ranger rear end with one already in it and just swap it out
it has 4.10 gears in it already i'd just need to redo my front D30, i bet i could get his for under 200 dollars would that be a wise choice? i have a 8.25 already and i dont know hardly anything about axles so i'd like some advice i searched for ranger 8.8 and no luck. i also searched for a dana 60 but nothing i was really looking for which brings me to my next question
apparently my dad has a trailer out back that we've had for the last 15 years or more that supposedly has a dana 60 under it, would that be worth my trouble? or being full width would it be alot of work to get it to work? and if i went full width in the rear i'd have to do the front too and get either another dana 60 or maybe a dana 44...
i did my searches on this a little and i didnt want to do a google search. can anyone point me in a good direction?
my 2000 xj currently has the low pinion d30 up front and chrysler 8.25 in the rear, im not looking to go any higher than 4.5", my idea is to do a RE 3.5 superflex and 31's for now, so i dont know if i want 33's yet or not... im also going to lock out the rear and probably the front cuz i have issues from lack of tracton, so would it be easier and cheaper to just stay with what i got for axles + the lift/lockers/crane diff covers.? i dont do hardcore rock crawling, just moderate trail runs, occational mud, lots of sand and snow, i'll do more aggressive trails like calico with the lift, lockers, and diff covers, just for now with what i am working with its all i want to do.
any positive information would be great, thanks
sorry if i didnt look in depth enough on the subject to find my answers.
