Ranger guy needing some info...

[jrpro130]

First off, I'll introduce myself, 2002 ranger, 3" spindles, aals/shackles, all that jazz. I've got the weak 7.5, so I need to upgrade axles. I really want the expo axle for the disk brakes, strenth, etc.

Make a long story short, I am going to do SOA, and I searched all over for the superlift part number SUP1160. I can't find where it is sold seperately? I tried 4wp and summit, and jegs even! I really just want a bolt on kit for now so that I do not have to mess with welding/pinion angle.

I was also wondering what the difference will be since I have 2" blocks, can I still use them? They are the stock blocks.

I'll probably just have to pick up some longer U bolts, or use my ranger ones?

Basically, I need to find where I can buy the superlift SUP1160. I can't find it! If all else fails, I'll do the $32 SOA swap, but I'd rather get a bolt on kit I know will work.

find a ranger 8.8 and swap it will probably lift about 4-5 inches and you aren't suppose to reuse u bolts but you can find them from truck parts stores that cater to semis and stuff they will make them to your specs

Well here's a few problems (if you can't tell, I'm not a ranger newb, and I've done my HOURS of research )

1. Ranger 8.8 31 splines were made after 02, that makes them extremely hard to find.
2. I want disks
3. I need a 31 spline rear
4. A ranger 8.8 will not lift MY truck 4-5 inches, it will to an expo, but my truck is already SOA. It will not lift/lower at all.

I don't need to lift/lower my truck, I just need the stronger axle :
