You might be able to use Ranger spring hangers. I know I got all 4 hangers and 2 shackles from Ford for my old '97 Ranger for $120.

The springs are the same dimensions from eye to eye and width on a Ranger, Bronco II, and Explorer.

I would use Explorer rear springs as it would give you about 1"-2" of lift in the rear.

Check your local ford garages, they use different pricing so call a few. No shipping charges if you buy em local.

Called the local Ford shop and they are asking $218 a piece, does anyone know for sure if a ranger one will work or is it going to change the ride height? mounting holes. Thanks

Ranger ones will work but you will have to space them off the frame 1/2"-3/4" per side.

I might have a set in my garage that came off an '87 B2, I can check tomorrow and see for sure. IF I do, $25 shipped to you if you want.
