Rear end swap ideas.. (Purists need not enter)

Do the rangers have an offset pinion like the exploders?

Yeah but not nearly as much offset. It's been about 4 yrs. since I measured one (it was a 95 if that makes any difference) so the memory is a little fuzzy but if I remember right the offset was within 1/4" of an A-body and so was the width. Except for cutting the Ford mounting brackets off and welding on Mopar spring perches and getting the special yoke it takes to connect it to a 7260 U-joint it looked like a real easy swap. You might have some diff. in driveshaft length to deal with also but you'd probably have that with just about any swap.
