Idk I just wanna make it as nice as possible. I really wanna put a pair of black or gray leather seats in it. I read another post that said all the seats that'll go in, but I was wondering about suspension and what not. Like what upgrades I could do to it that wouldn't be ranger, something bigger/stronger.

You can swap in a 31 spline 8.8 rear end. Some even have disc brakes. It'll bolt in, but you'll need to move the spring mounts to the top of the axle and figure out shock mounts.

First Gen 4 dr Explorer seats will bolt right into an ext cab ranger.

Explorer leaf springs will give you about 1.5-2" of lift.

what leafsprings would bolt right in? And would it have to be 4x4 leafs to give it a lift or would the 2wd ones work as well?

Are the 2 door Exploder sports a direct bolt in ? Why makes them not fit, if that IS the case?
