"Axle Width Differences:
1990-1992 Ford Ranger 8.8-Inch Axle - 56.50 inches
1993-2009 Ford Ranger 8.8-inch Axle - 58.50 inches
2010-2011 Ford Ranger 8.8-inch Axle - 58.50 inches *
1991-2003 Ford Explorer 8.8-Inch Axle - 59.625 inches
* The 2010-2011 Ford Ranger 8.8-inch axle is actually narrower and has shorter shafts than the 2009 and earlier models. Ford used rear disc brakes on the 2010-2011 Rangers, so Ford Shortened the axle housing and shafts to compensate for the extra width created by the disc brake setup. These shafts are not going to work in a 2009 and older Ford Ranger 8.8-inch axle. "
