The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 8 inch rear-end

If any rear axle has been laying on the ground in your climate, I would pass. Look in to a Ranger 8.8 axle if you cant find a good 8 inch. Be aware on the Rangers, they have big brakes, and small brakes. The small brakes were inadequate on a Ranger. The brakes interchange on the housings, just change the backing plates and drums.
