What ranger axles ?

i think that 7.5 and 8.8 axles are the same but if im wrong...then you would have to get '90- ranger with 4.0.

2.3,2.8,2.9, and 3.0 have 7.5s

and dont take my word for it but, one of my friends claims to have had to use 2 driver-side axles.
 
thats what im thinking... I had my a rearend swap and the axles were bent. I had one taken out to measure it. This axle wasnt the same as a fox79-93 axle i had it measured against94+axle,99+ axle so im guessing its gotta be a ranger axle. I think you are right about it having to be a 4.0 v6
