i just did a 94 ranger, i swapped to a 98 front clip...i sectioned the steering column 13", pushed a brass bushing in the end, used a flaming river u-joint, some dd rod, and a firewall mounted support bearing. works fine. same thing should work for you. let me know if i can help.

Rick, had the same problem in my 90 ranger. Used a steering U-joint out of an 80's F-150.

No reason to spend big bucks on Borgeson or flaming river stuff when you can get joints in town cheaper.
