The axle of choice seems to be the D44. Check out www.therangerstation.com for information.

And if you can find a 96 and newer Explorer V8 AWD wrecked in the rear to
scrounge it from, it should be a direct bolt in!

I don't think any thig off of a '96 or newer Explorer is a "direct bolt in"
on any of the Rangers (maybe a '97 and newer)...they use that new SLA
torsion bar set up. The TTB Dana 35 from a pre '95 Explorer (or 4.0L

Ranger) would be a bolt in with some simple mods (u joints and stuff like
that) in a 83-97 Ranger and any BII. The rear axle would need the spring
perches and shock mounts relocated to use in a Ranger/BII. But this keeps
you with a TTB IFS set up

But this guy wants a solid axle. It looks like the one of Choice is a Dana
44 from an Early Bronco (Pre '78 Big Bronco style) and the Ford 9 inch in
the rear, so bolt patterns match on the wheels. Full sixe axles have been
used, but are quite a bit wider than the Ranger and make the wheels stick
way out.
