Need help with the right shocks... - Ford Ranger Forum

kholt17 · 01-04-2011, 11:53 AM

I have a '98 Ranger supercab Sport, 3.0V6. I have 3" body lift, which I dont believe really matters, but I also have a 3" shackle lift on the rear, and have added the stock 4wd blocks to the rear as well. My shocks in the rear are too short to use now, and they were already warn out. So my question is what shocks would make as a successful replacement? I would like to own the bilstein 5100's, but they are a bit pricey... I did do a search first, but nothing matched the specific needs of my truck.
