SOURCE: how to replace a 2001 ranger front strut
YOUR rANGER DOESN'T USE STRUTS IT USES SHOCKS, JUST 2 BOLTS ON THE BOTTOM AND A NUT ON THE TOP, VERY EASY TO CHANGE.

the dealer should be able to make you a key, all you need is the vin number,they can make a key for it, as loong as the ignition in the van is the one that came with the van, if it was replaced then they cant make one, if you didnt by van new then just have key made its mostlikely its original one, hope this helps.
SOURCE: front shocks/struts not attached at top mount,
you will need to get spring compressors to do the job and if they rusted away chances are the strut shaft nut is rusted too and will need heat from a torch or a powerful air tool to remove it . but if you want to try it first you jack the car and remove the wheel.then unbolt the two large bolts that hold it to the knukle at the bottom,brake hose might be attached to it also remove it .then unbolt the four bolts at the top that hold it and remove the strut. now you will need a strut compressor to squeeze the spring so that the mount is free of pressure from the spring,replace it with the new one careful to install the spring into the seat just like it was.reverse install
