94 Explorer TTB question.
I have a quick question that someone in here might have an answer too.
Who knows if the TTB in a 94 Explorer is the same as the 89-97 Ranger?
Dont bash me about the TTB right yet, I have an idea.

I think the rangers had either a d28 with the smaller engine or a d35 with the bigger engine, while all explorers had the d35.
As far as I know they will bolt in place of each other - but this is based off vague memory of someone upgrading to a 35 in their ranger - I wouldn't spend any money based on what I said without someone else confirming it.

Up to 88 all Rangers and BIIs had the D28. The D35 started in 89 but there was also a hybrid D28/35, which has 28 guts in a 35 beam, you only find this with 3.45 gears and good chance there will be a 7.5 rear axle too. The Explorer will have a D35 reguardless. As far as swapping a D44 TTB, not too much problem. The most involved part is the steering. For the springs you can either move the springs in on the axle or what most people do is space the coil buckets out with plate. The beams will bolt into your stock pivots. It's not as bad as you think.

I already have a truck (95 F150) so I dont really need a ranger, would be kinda redundant, thats why I will be looking for an Explorer. The extra seating capacity would be fun for off-roading.
I would probably grab a matching 8.8 or something to make the gearing issue simpler. A D44 TTB would add an extra 4 inches per side and give you the track width of a fullsize with a 110"ish wheelbase. How does that sound?
