I had to bend the passenger side arm to clearance the tube. So I stopped them there to make sure I bent the arm enough. I don't know if I will have a build thread on here for the Aviator. The 3rd gen is when Ford took the Explorer and made it it's own vehicle. It didn't share much at all at that point with the Ranger. Frame is different fully boxed, suspensions is totally different independent front and rear with a front and rear strut/coil double A arm set up, they made the truck bigger, gas tank is on pass side, not even sure any of the engines or transmissions were the same. At that point it had more in common with F150 then with a Ranger. I can easily pull my 20 ft enclosed race car trailer or my flatbed car hauler with the Lincoln. I have pulled my Mustang a few times with it and it does great. I would never try that with a Ranger.
