rear axle

How do I identify which axle I have? I believe the truck is a Ranger XLT, walnut finish everywhere, it has 8 bolt stud pattern, also how easy is it to change front & rear to 5 stud so I have a wider variety of wheels to choose from?

Thanks
Rich

If original, it's a 16 spline Dana 60

You want to change from 3/4 ton running gear to 1/2 ton running gear so you have a wider variety of wheels from which to choose??? there's tons of 8-lug wheels available in the aftermarket, how often do you change wheels anyway.

it's lovely & original apart from engine, gearbox & wheels, It won't be used for heavy loads, wheel choice for 8 lug wheels is VERY limited in the UK :-) what is the stud PCD?? The back spacing on the rear is all wrong so can't drop it or the tyres will hit the wheel arch :-( thanks for the info on the axle, may need to change the gearing is all as it doesn't pull well up any form of hill..
