Depends upon which wheel you want to run
Most of the factory 94+ wheels will require the SN95 front conversion (94/95 best)

For a quick/cheap 5 lug swap, 2 Lincoln MK7 rotors with 2 LEFT Ranger axles/drums
This is a direct bolt on for any 87-93

Or a 94/95 fronts and a 94/95 complete rear end disc to disc.

No mater what you choose, 1FAST89GT can get you the parts.

you can either use the early to mid 90s square rangers that have the smaller brake drums, or the 90s aerostar van passenger axels.

Only the driver’s side will work as the pumpkin on these rear ends is offset and the axles are different lengths (you need the longer of the two axles). It should measure 29-5/32

From an Aerostar you will need two of the passenger side axles from an 86 to 97 model

but you will need a right side and left side drum/brake system or you wont have an emergency brake...

Cheapest and easiest for the front is the lincon brake setup. The downside is you are very limited in what wheels you can run.

Check out this site.

It will tell you all you need to know [patriot]
