It will work!!!! Spline count for this project will help you determine the fitment. The length is the same. Metal integrity is the same. -------------------- * -DV8- from the just the "norm." * DVUS MOTORSPORTS ALBUM - http://s1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa349/Dvus_Motorsports/ Posts: 1221 | From: ~BAY AREA~ | Registered: May 2011  |  : MUSTTANGUY ¯ Member # 2251 posted                                 Sorry, confused your project with someone elses For your 5 lug conversion the 83 to about 86 Ranger 7.5 axles are a direct fit (with drums)into your 8.8 housing. There is no difference in strength between the 7.5 and 8.8 axles. Always check the bearing surface on used axles for any grooves or wear Posts: 1690 | From: Lodi | Registered: Dec 2002  |  :
