they are only 300 bucks for 3 inch lift spindles.
my questions are, are the stock spindles for a 98-01 ranger and a 95 explorer the same? how hard is it to install a spidle i have never done it before. Does any one know how much the 4 inch lift springs are for the rear? also will i need new shocks or can i get away with my ranchos i have on now thanks Jeff

What brand is that? Well the if it is the one on the picture than that's won't work the ones i got were different. Replacing the spindle is not hard at all. Just have to take out the rotor and unscrew a couple of bolts. Might need a hammer to take out the upper and lower control arms and steering. The front shocks are still stock length. AS for the rear, if you replace it with a multipack lift spring like i did you will have to get longer shocks. Look for lift springs for 90-94 explorers. They range from 200-500 for a pair. Fabtech, Trailmaster, skyjacker and guess more make them. I put al my info on my ride in tha before and after section. Search for "97 2wd 4" lift"

WHOA! 98 2wd does NOT have coils... the 98-01 2wd and 4wd have torsion bars...97 and below has the coils and radius arms.

Looks like it could possible work Jeff. I do know that the break calipers are different between the 98-00 and 95's. You should try to find a 98 Ranger and take a good look at the spindle bracket and compair with your 95. My guess is they will work with possibly minor adjustments. Your best bet my be to talk to a Ford parts rep at your nearest dealer. They would know best.

Good luck.
