4 to 5 lug conversion

Scott Wilder · 11-08-2002, 05:51 PM

Does anybody know the hollander number for the 5 lug Ranger rear axle shafts? I am getting conflicting numbers from the how to articles, I don't want to get the wrong ones, aye? Any other pointers on zeroing in on the right ones? do they come from a 8 or 10 bolt rear end on the Ranger? thanks

madokie, I want to stay with 4lugs, but definately want to upgrade the rear to disc. What do I need? Or could you put together a kit? What would it include and for what price?

Someone correct me if im wrong on this cuz im probably gonna screw up the details. From what i remember you need a set of custom caliper brackets(80 bucks) or i believe you can take the brackets of a lincoln marc 7 and switch them around. eg use the right one on the left side and the left one on the right side. Then you can steal calipers and everything from the same marc 7. There is a little grinding to be done to let everything fit, and then you need a new e-brake cable and brake lines. I think the ebrake setup sells for just over a 100 and the brake lines, well you can make them yourself and pay 20 dollars for the flex lines at the end.
