hey, i lifted my 99 4x4 about 1.75 inches all around with explorer leafs and torsion bar cranking. the truck has always been rough and i want to get some shocks to make a smoother ride. will shocks for a stock ranger be good or because it's higher, should i get something different. p.s. what shocks would be good for a smoother ride but also not expensive. thanks for all the help, i love TRS!!

My credo
"220, 221, whatever it takes."
1.75" higher is not enough to need new shocks. Did a TT on one Ranger I owned and TT/shackles on my previous Sport Trac, kept the stock shocks, no problems.
