They're different truck generations so I wouldn't think they just bolt up. For starters the wheel bases are likely different. I would not think it a practical swap.

If you have a 2wd, you're going to need all the spring hangers, a 4x4 transmission, a transfer case, springs, driveshafts, etc.-- all of which are completely different on the 95. You need to be looking at 99 and up for a donor vehicle.

I'm in the middle of this swap right now. I went with the 05 coil spring front end. Here is the thread of my progress: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...build-log.html

If you have any questions please feel free to PM.
