Icon5 Front end swap question

Hi guys. I am new here. I hope this is the right place to ask. I have a 94 4x4 Ranger with a 4.0 and the front end is completely shot. I have a line on a 99 Explorer with rear end damage for cheap. Will the front end in a 99 Explorer work in a 94 Ranger without hassle?

Pretty sure your 94 is a TTB front end.. The 99 is going to be Torsion bar suspension. Completely different. So yea, it would be a hassle.

Thank you. I thought so but I had to know before I had a $500 Exploder setting in my yard that I couldn't do anything with.

If it has a 5.0, you can do a heck of a lot with it
