Radius Arm Brackets

[Foxracin]

Does anybody know if the radius arm Brackets off a 83-88 first gen Ranger will fit a 1991 Explorer? The Explorer I bought the bushings took a crap and the previous owner never changed them and they messes up the brackets.

I have a parts Ranger I could get them off. Rockauto.com says the brackets off a Explorer will fit the Ranger so it should be vice versa correct?

Only difference I could see looking at both of them is the Ranger brackets are flat straight across where they bolt together in the center and the Explorer have a hump in them kind of.

I'd cross reference that with Ford. Call them up and ask them to look up the part numbers for a X and that Ranger. How much do new brackets cost?

the frames are slightly different. it should work but alot of stuff that fits both trucks isnt 100% on one of em

I just removed these brackets on my 93 ex, not much more than a week ago when i installed my superlift 5.5 email if interested gkohlrieser5@gmail.com

Napa list the same part numbers for both so it should work fine. Ill give it a try this weekend and see how it goes.

For future reference the radius arm brackets off a 83-88 Ranger will work just fine. Just got mine swapped over yesterday and everything worked great.
