sport track front end?
 

how much of the sport trac front suspension can be put on a ranger? its over 2 inches wider, and i think if done right could look badass for cheap, would it be a relatively easy swap?

You are going to have to be more specific. Which year Sport Trac are you referring to?
The 2001-2005 Sport Trac shares the front suspension/drivetrain with the 01-current Ranger, as well as 95-01 Explorer.
It isn't wider or different in any way, except possibly a larger sway bar and different spring rates on the torsion bars.

The newer sport trac is completely different than the Ranger, it's based on the 02+ Explorer and is not compatible.

Is the body width wider than a Ranger?

I do not think the body is wider. It is shaped differently so it is hard to compare straight across, but the general dimensions are pretty well the same.

oh so the ones that are actually wider wont work. darn i thought maybe i found something i could actually do, thanks guys

and yeah the new ones front track's a full 2.5 inches wider
