Is the bronco rear axle wider than the rangers? If so by how much?

My bad dude. I didn’t get this notification. It’s wider by 1 inch each side. I’ll have a more accurate measurement once I pull the other to start locating this one. The overall width of the bronco is 68 7/8ths from face of hub to face of hub.

Got it. I’m running the 3inch fiberwerx glass and have 2 inch rear spacers to push my wheels out. I looked into f150 rear axles but they have a different bolt pattern.
Not sure if you know if it’s possible, but can axles be extended? Like our stock one? I’ve seen an axle for sale in my area for a good price and thought it would be a great candidate to extend 3 inches, if it’s possible.
I’d rather run a proper length axle like yourself than run rear spacers. I guess another option is running different hubs on a f150 axle to match the ranger bolt pattern.

I’m super stocked all my cross referencing worked. Got my brembos delivered today. Bolt mounting holes are identical they’re 4 piston but in a way smaller footprint and a whole lot lighter. Another fun fact on why I’m choosing a factory optioned brake is. If and for whatever reason I need pads and high quality I can obtain them anywhere. These use a Brembo universal pad so say you ask for a Camaro with these you’d be able to just ask a clerk for those or say any other car with these. I think a genesis has them, the ones I got from a 07 gt500, there’s Camaro, Porsche I mean the list is long. Anyway here’s side by side with s550 got 4 piston vs gt500 4 piston in black. This will keep it compact and light with a huge list for pads. O mind you a shaved a ton of dead weight from the gts and theyre still heavier and larger. Got m210 mocked. One mount need to be cut, but it’s one that get relocated anyways with diff drop. Driveshaft from m190 mates up to it but is slightly short by like 2-4mm spacer shim included with diff drop might work. Will see once arrives. Have on order also have spring under perch brackets on order. Also got my Chevy 63s c85 Deaver spring under axles thanks to my friend Walker of FINAL FRONTIER MOTORSPORTS.

Liking all the progress! Cant wait to see how the rear end turns out with the spring under setup.
I’ve been looking at spring under kits for the Tacoma, since the Tacoma weighs roughly the same as our truck, I was wonder how hard would it be to mount to our trucks.
Seems like everything’s needs to be custom made. Anyway great progress
