Nope. There is absolutely no way that you can get the brake stuff from a 95 EXPLORER to fit. 95 marked the start of the IFS system and is a completely different front end.

Now, if we want to talk about front brake parts from a 95 RANGER, that's a whole 'nother discussion. If you drop them off at the ball joints they'll bolt right up to your 92 axle, dual piston calipers and all.

You need everything from the knuckle out.

Knuckle, rotors, bearings, calipers

Nope, and I don't really want to know right now either. I plan to do this myself, but I don't have the money to do it right now. Having numbers will just tease me.

Well the front is going to do most of the braking, doesn't matter what setup you have. Are you getting less braking force than before?

Also, why are you trying to put ABS on that truck?

If you have working 4 wheel brakes then I'd call it good.
You'll never get much braking power out of your rear drums because otherwise you'd be constantly drifting around corners.

You would have been better off getting the entire D35 out of a 1995-97 Ranger.

Eh, personally I find ABS to be more of a hassle than it's worth.

Sounds like a plan. Just don't let the rear get too high to the back end gets squirrely. My old car did that because the piston for the front brakes in the master was getting weak. If I had less than 1/2 a tank I'd loose the rear end when I hit the brakes.

Yeah, that looks like it should do the job.
