im getting a 85 ranger and i want to put at least a solid axle up front
tires will probably stay around 35s but the plan is a mud truck
so any ideas of what to throw in there?
thanks

2.5 ton Rockwells for sure!!





Sorry I had to be that guy today. Legit question, but posted in the wrong forum. Good luck with your hunt.

BTW, I'd go with a Dana 60 at least if you're planning on muddin' it.

I've seen plenty of SAS'd Rangers with D44's. Some even run a D35. It's about how you rebuild them and the parts you use.

What kind of motor do you want to run? Or will you stick with stock?

Don't pound on it too bad, and you can get by with the stock Dana 28 TTB just fine.............doesn't sound like thats your plan though.
