The early 90's Rangers use the Dana 35, as do the 91-94 Explorers. Anyone know if these are the same axles? I'm considering purchasing the front axle out of a '93 Ranger, but I need to know if it's going to work in my '91 Explorer. I'm talking the whole thing, not just the gears out of it.
Another option I have - in '91 & '92, Rangers came with a Dana 35 front axle complete with 4.10 gears. Anyone know if this axle is the same as the Explorer axle in '91 & '92? I've found plenty of info on this site about the differences between the 8.8 Explorer & Ranger rear end, but nothing on the Dana 35's. Since the 8.8 is 1.5" narrower on the Ranger, I'm worried that the front will be narrow as well and this axle swap won't work...
