8.8 swap
Just remeasured the 1991 8.8 ranger rear... It looks to be 3" longer on the drivers side...
If I cut off that 3" it will be 3" more narrow than stock... I made one that size for my '65 barracuda I had... Ran 3/4" offset hangers, shimed it rearward 1/2", and moved the spring perches to match... Worked great... I had 255/60-15 on aluminum slots under that car..
Not sure if I want to go that route or just cut an 8 3/4 down.
