Welcome to the forum

No, as far as 1999 Explorer front suspension and 1996 Ranger front suspension two different types, coil in Ranger torsion bar in explorer

Rear axle can be used but some cutting and welding is required

1996-2001 Explorers were good for their V8 engines, lol, they fit in a Ranger, but explorer is quite a different vehicle for body, frame and suspension
