Find out the original OD of the bar and either match it for can OEM ride factor or find one larger, which I assume the explorer front bar is larger than the Ranger, to give a more stable but less flexible ride.
its all up to what and how you want the ride to be, less roll or more roll.

My '88 STX, high boy, had front and rear swap bars, it cornered flat, felt good gong in a corner.
When I did the 5.5" lift I lost the rear swap bar but the springs made up for it in cornering, I was suppose to get more flex without it, I didn't really notice.
then of course there're Sway Bar Disconnects, which allow you to do what it says, disconnect the Sway Bar, allowing for more flex off roading.

But you did ask for a 2X answer, I would think thicker will give you a firmer ride and better cornering !
