    Ive got a few 8.8 rear axles from a couple different Ford Rangers. one is a 86, ones a 88 one is from a 95. Will any of them bolt into the maverick? Are the spring perches the same width?

    perches on the ranger in sprung over, maverics are sprung under. The flange distance, w/o drums is 56.50, gonna guess the drums will add about 1/2" overall. the center section looks to be about 1 inch further offset to the dr. side, which looks like that will line my driveshaft up better with the 5.0 t5 swap. Same bolt pattern.
