Edelbrock IAS Shocks - Ford Ranger Forum

Nitrofan1 · 05-23-2009, 07:23 PM

Been wanting these for a while but price was the major issue. I've put off installing shocks for way too long. I happened to go to Edelbrock's web site and found they have an online store and it takes PayPal! Well, they have their IAS shocks super cheap now! Got them for $31.99 each with free ship! Got them installed and let me tell you. These are the best shocks I have ever used. It has restored the original handling of my Splash. No more sway & lean in corners anymore. Firm but compliant ride. American made!

Here's a link to check them out!

did the same thing with my '09.
They were asking like $80 per shock then blew them out at $25 about a year ago. Made big difference in the handling without affecting the ride quality.

I need new shocks so bad but I can't decide which ones to get.

I has the IAS's on mine a few years ago, but I was never happy with them. I'm sure on a 2WD, they're fine, but on my 4WD they were crap. I have the Rancho RS9000XLs now, and with the ability to adjust the valving, they work much better for me.

Id prefer to go Rancho shocks as well, Edelbrock was always an engine company to me really, so why there making shocks is past me.

I also had them on an '88 with 4WD with improved handling and ride quality
