1998 swapped to 1996
 
i like the front end of 1998-2001 rangers and i hate the front of my 96 is there any way i can just get a clip from a 98 and it bolt right on mine?

i don't think there is a kit available.
there is a couple guys who hav swapped front clips. i know that a new rad support is needed, along with hood, grills, fenders, bumpers, lights and maybe some other stuff.

wait till some other people chim in on this topic.

I'm not sure if it can be done but http://certifit.com/ has it all.

you'll need new fenders since the headlights are different, but its possible to do this.

Don't forget the body lines will NOT match at all and you might have to get creative from that point. Now they make flared conversions......

I thought that was just another name for the rad support, but I could be mistaken..
