For a single driveshaft, the heat shield over rear cats needs to be removed, would be over my mf muffler, the linkage plate for the nsg370 slight modification which would be minor, and acouple small things for a 3.5" aluminum shaft, for a 4" shaft would have to cut off the mounting for the carrier bearing, a 3.5" is close but should work.
explorer sport trac (I believe) and a 4" aluminum with a slip but the 3.5 from even a isuzu axiom can be cut down, but like with a ranger, the more common the easier to find and cheaper.
if we can use the pinion flange from a ford 8.8, then would be easy to get the aluminum shaft and cut down and reballanced, change out props on front and rear with the pinion flanges and would have the yokes that come with it, then would have cheap single piece aluminum driveshaft with 1330 joints.
I am trying to find yokes to switch out props to yokes, and leave pilots on, to have less parts.
well I found some but trying to find some that are less than $180 apiece.
