I'm looking to buy a pair of shocks to lower the front end of my ranger a little bit and if they're good ones im going to buy another pair and lower the back end as well. I was just wondering what grade of quality these shocks are. I know DJM is a pretty good type, but I really don't know much about suspension..what do you guys think? also, anyone know what size i would need to buy in order to lower my ranger 2-3 inches? i figured the first choice ( 13.5" extended, 9.25" Collapsed) but i don't know for sure. http://www.autoanything.com/suspension- ... 9A0A0.aspx (http://www.autoanything.com/suspension-systems/65A2509A0A0.aspx)

shocks can't lower your truck, those are to be used on a truck that is lowered.

get yourself some drop spindles for the front and some lowering blocks for the back. its as easy as that.

You need to buy dropped i beams. Your ford ranger is set up with an i beem style of suspension thats is kinda hard to explain. NO spindles won't work and usually a lowering spring is only 2 inches. If you wanna talk more about this call me at the shop and i can try to find ya the best kit for the money.
