Ive done it on a 98 extended cab its a PITA. Buy a 97 with the TTB. The SLA suspension on the 98 and up is a bitch to cut out. Plus the engine crossmember is massive and will need to be cut out and rebuilt. There is no steering box so you will have to find a place for one or run full hydraulic steering. The 97 and down rangers do not have any of these issues.

Spend some time on the forums above, you will get all the info you need.

Explorer Forums coached me with this setup. Dana 44/9" Locked, 16" Air Shocks, Stubler....

I'll second the full hydro if its gonna be trail only.

Basically, if you can fab, just cut out the IFS crap and start fabbing :)
