Need some 1998+ Solid Axle Swap for the tech library

[Jim Oaks]

We need to put together an article for the tech library to help people with a 1998 and newer Ranger do a Solid Axle Swap (SAS).

If you have anything to contribute, or a build thread to link to, post up.

Solid axle swaps on those generation is just not as common since it's a more involved swap with the rack and pinion steering and crossmember that has to be cut out. There is some info out for the 98+ rangers and 95+ explorers but it's hard to find and not organized very well.

Here's my SAS build thread for my 99 explorer sport.
