98-11 Torsion spring rangers use the sla ifs suspension, exactly the same as 96-01 explorers,02-04 sport and 02-05 sport trac
The 98-99 rangers had power vacuum hubs
2000-11 did not
06+ rangers have the larger front brake rotors, same as 02-04 sports and tracs
As bill pointed out above only the front of the superlift or rough country lift will work on the explorer
1995 explorer do indeed have a welded crossmember for the torsio bars, if putting ranger front brackets and drop brackets onto a 95 all that will get cut off
The 4 cyl and small v6 coil spring rangers are rwd, these lift kits do not work, not the same suspension
The rough country and superlift 5” lift kits come with 3.5” actual drop brackets. The other 1.5” of “lift” they are expecting you to crank your torsion-bars to achieve
Any explorers that install the front drop bracket kit and do a spring over axle conversion in the rear will end up with 4-6” of lift in the rear depending on which spring perches are used on the axle. You will need to crank the t bars quite a bit to level the truck. Some trucks will need longer t bar bolts, torsion keys, v8 torsion bars or a combo of all 3
