I've heard rumors that the entire differential from a Ranger or Explorer can be used in an early a with good results. I believe some of these vehicles came from the factory with rear disc brakes. I have to caution that this is a "rumor", I never verified it myself. Just thought I'd pass it along --- but if you look, tell us if it would work out. |

It would have to be a late model Ranger, as the old Rangers came with the 7.5" rear which is garbage. You want the 8.8" rear, which will hold up to *any* /6 buildup, and comes with Trac-Lok (limited slip), tons of gear ratio choices, etc. |

Quote: The Ford setup is cheap and fairly easy to put on but from what I've seen, the piston size is too large. That leads to rear brake lockup even with the prop valve turned all the way down.
What about mustang stuff. Should be more suited to the weight of an a body than the exploder stuff is.________ Easy Vape Vaporizer ________ Tn |
