I just got a 99 Ranger with 55,000 miles on it.It has platnium plugs in it from the factory.I was wondering if I should change them or just leave them alone.The motor is the 2.5L with 2 plug's per cylinder.

usually single platinum plugs are changed at 60k mile intervals, so yes its about that time. double platinums are good for 100k miles.

I have a 98 3.0 I just changed mine at 42,000. I don't know about the 2.5 but the 3.0 was pain to change, you need a special tool to pull the wires off. The plugs are supposed to last like 100,000. I did so because I was getting a little knocking and had to switch to 89. The old plugs gaps were almost double what they should have been.
