Front sway bar swap

[King 1]

Hi all, I have a 2wd swb 1991 ranger with no front sway bar, and a junk 4wd 1991 explorer with a front-mounted front sway bar. I'd like to move the sway bar to the ranger, but the brackets that attach to the explorer TTB to provide a mounting point for the sway bar will not fit the TIB on the ranger.
Is there a factory bracket to attach a front-mount front sway bar to the 2wd ranger beams? Where can I buy a set?

Im not positive about this, but check for Ranger Edge parts. I have a 2wd single cab 2001 Edge and it has a front sway bar

1991 is twin I-beam, 2001 Edge is not, so that won't work for you. Here is a picture of my 1993 factory swaybar mount. Your best bet would probably be a salvage yard or U-Pull-It.

On second thought, I think the lower spring retainer has to come off. If you get the entire I-beam setup off a '95-97 you can add dual piston brakes as well.

Thanks, tinman_72, this is exactly what I needed. It almost looks like I could just cut the top flange off of the 4x4 version, since the 2wd version doesn't appear to wrap around the top of the beam at all. I wonder if the front bolt and bottom hole match up the same between them.

Hello Fellow Rangers,

I have a 89 2WD automatic and am interested in putting front and rear sway bars on it. Anything I can get from pick and pull yard that will bolt on easily or just go online and purchase them new?
