What will fit?

I have a 99 xlt 4x4 with the 4.0, and i need a rear end. There is a 91 4x4 explorer for sale for parts. Anyone know if the rear end will fit? I know I will have to check on the gear ratios, but thought I would check to see if it will fit before I call the guy.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure about '91 Explorer, but '89 explorer had propeller shaft with U-joint retained to rear end with 2 U-bolts. In the beggining of 90-s ford started installing prop. shafts with flange holding with 4 8mm bolts. If your explorer with U-bolts, just remove lange fron your drive shaft.

The differential will fit (both 8.8"), but I think that the springs were mounted under the rear end on the Explorer and over the rear on the Ranger.

Yep, explorer rears fit rangers, but you do have to relocate the spring perches.
