Should be 88-94ish driver side ranger axles, aerostar passenger axles hear work too, and 90s mark rotors. Correct me if I'm wrong might be off a smidge on years. Or SVO rotors will work as well

Thanks for all the input guys but now I have a dilemma by doing this conversion will I be able to throw on 17in by 8s in the front and 17in by 10.5 in the rear????? I'm about to buy the deep dish bullits on american muscle and don't want to find out they don't fit
Thanks for all the responses in advance

the center caps on bullitts wont fit up front with a lincoln 5 lug swap. You need to go with an SN95 5 lug converion for them to fit right.
the 10.5's should fit in the rear because with ranger axles you retain the stock fox length axle spacing, you just may need to roll the fenders and remove the quad shocks depending on tire size and ride height.

There is a chance the bullits will fit by using spacers, longer wheel studs, tapping the dust cap in, and using steering rack limiters BUT might have fitment issues. One of the people at mylrs.com gave me that option for using their budget 5 lug conversion(svo set up with ranger 9"drum rear) as far as knowing anyone who has tried it that way unsure lol. I want to try it that way when I run bullits on my 5 lug svo/ranger swap soon.
Otherwise sn95set up in front solves your problem.

Dam alot of good info but sounds like a headache... Debating whether to do it....
Well either way if I do ranger axles will I be good doing 265/60r17 and I have a 2 in drop all around.
Or what if I go with the late model restoration kit will that let me ride the bullets with center caps on

Make it easier and get 94-95 spindles(newer ones I believe are a smidge bigger?) Calipers(better braking) rotors(easier to swap in a big brake set up) might be a bit more $ but is probably cheaper piece by piece

Ok so im bringing the topic back up. I got sn95 front setup just on the look out for rear ranger axles. Also I have, another problem I been hearing 10.5 wheels don't really fit the rear. Now if they do fit whats the smallest width I can do on 10.5" and on 9" front wheel cuz I already have some 245/45 and wondering thats too small for the front
Any help is appreciated
