Also what's cool about the irs swap is that they also have the Ford 8.8 with the Torsen diff. If I remember correctly the weak point on the 8.8 is the axle shaft u joint...but it's been a while since I've read about them so I may not even know what I'm talking about. What's Also cool with the irs is there's no pinion angle change on the rear end and no axle wrap because it's all in it's own little housing. It would be wicked cool for a daily driver street truck, except the mounts needed for the swap wold heavily intrude into the bed space. There's a thread over on grassroots motor sports of a guy who's doing an auto cross Ranger, I believe he put a 331 and a 5 speed with the irs. It's sweet lookin
