When you get ranger axels for a 5 lug conversion can you install them with the stock foxbody drums? Or do you need to get the drums from the ranger also. There the two left from the ranger or two right from an aerostar correct?

You will need the drums too, you are correct on the axles.

yeah you will need to drums because your stock drums are only 4 lug.
I just finished doing the rear 5 lug conversion last week on my 86(among other things), and i'm waiting for next weekend to do the front...can't do it this weekend because i'm on call till tuesday morning =(

Make sure the axles were from a 7.5" and 9in drum. I believe 8.8 diff axles with 10" drums wont work unless im mistaken.
