98+ ford ranger front clip needed

I'm doing my senior design and need a 98+ 2wd front clip off of a ranger. I would really like to find someone fairly close to cincinnati but I am willing to travel a decent distance to get it. Also I travel to chicago reguarly so if you live up in that area that would work as well.

I'm willing to pay for it, but don't particuarly want to pay a ton for it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

what did you guys do with your old factory frames when you did full frames?

btw, don't be shy on posting if you live on the east coast. I'm willing to drive anywhere within about 6 hours, maybe more, to get this thing.

what do you want the front clip for?

doing my senior design, and will probably be making a drop spindle for them.

dont really need a drop spindle, how about a spindle thatisnt 4 feet tall? i htink if you just shortened the upper part of the spindle it would make less camber and yeild more lift...

I got two front clips handy, but I live south of St. Louis, MO.

I'm taking that into consideration as well as maybe making it a drop spindle. Right now I'm open to anything that will fix the camber but still drive correctly. I still need to do a ton of research on suspension geometry.

I know for little camber change you want close to equal length control arms. But you still need to consider having the lower control arm parallel to the ground at ride height.

The main reason that I want the front clip is so that I can actually measure the suspension and put it all into 3D so that I can play with numbers and move some pieces around to see what give the best results for both aspects of camber change and such.

And lance I might be in contact with you if I get slim pickings closer to home.

if you want to come to florida ill cut mine off my truck, i got a yota front clip for mine.

How far do you think you could throw it? Do you have a trebusche? If you think you could launch it to georgia I might be interested. haha. Thanks for the offer man, but that's too far right now, unless one of my friends is going down there in the near future.
