well it depends on what suspension set up your after leaf springs or coils. and what axle type your going to use.

building sweet ass trucks one at at time. or 2 or 3

Very true cvalcore...

There are loads of options for our trucks. Including but not limited to:

Wagoneer D44 (80-88 w/o Vacuum Disconnect)
Early Bronco D44 (70-77)
Jeep Rubicon D44 (Not exactly sure on years)

There are also some D30's that could work, but you will just end up swapping it to a D44 eventually anyways...

Fullwidths are great for highway driving.  I love mine.  The ranger was always a bit shakey at 100+kmh and a bit of wind.  But ever since I put on the full width Bronco axles, she feels great on the highway.
