Rear brakes do not have to be replaced too often. It's really hard to tell without looking at it. What you can do is to replace front brakes and test drive it, if you feel that your car brakes works just fine you do not need to replace rear brake shoes.
Depends on your Ranger, the non 4 wheel drive take 9 inch rear brakes. The 4 wheel drive Rangers take 10 inch brakes.
You need to replace the rear brake pads and anything else the brakes may need. Driving without rear brakes would be foolish and dangerous. Good brakes are a number one priority.
you have bleeder valves on all brakes. look for small fittng usually on back side of brakes starting with rear passenger side crack the bleeder valve and have someone slowly pump the brakes wait to see if all air is out tighten when fluid is steady and NO air bubbles. rear pass to rear drive then front pass and then of coursefront drive
If memory serves, the typical braking force ratio for any automobile with front disc and rear drum brakes is 60% front, 40% rear +/-.
