Depends on what it is.Is it a 7.5" or an 8.8"?Does the 1995 that it comes out of have a 4.0L in it?

You would have a 7.5, it might hold up depending on how you drive, I would put a 8.8 in there.

Yep,that's going to be a 7.5".They would hold up to a V8 in *normal* driving conditions,but I think that if any of us here had a V8 in our Ranger's,we wouldn't be driving normally.....
Your best bet is to try to find a Traction-Loc 8.8" out of a 4.0L 4X4.They're not cheap though.
Good luck.
