I have a '97 ranger, and am lifting it 2'' over christmas break....i want some new shocks in it cause i just have stock shocks. What would be a somewhat cheaper shock selection that would perform well for really softcore offroading, and driving every day.
 
any shock that is listed for 2" of lift....believe me if ya gonna wheel any, you need to have some longer shocks than stock

Check out the procomp ES 3000's
 
Can i put in shocks for a 2'' lift with out the lift.....cause i was planning on getting the shocks in a couple of weeks, but im not lifting till christmas. Or would that be a problem
 
i'd wait til you get the lift on. check out jcwhitney.com.....i was lookin at gettin some 2 inch lift shocks from them, still am, and they had them for $25 a piece. seemed cheap to me, they probably arent great, but i have a horrible ride right now as it is.
 
when you say 2'' lift shocks you mean shocks that are accommodated for a 2'' lift, or shocks that provide a 2'' lift
 
shocks that accommodate a 2" lift...

I feel like if i buy shocks that are 0''-2'' lift that i will be able to put the shocks in before the lift with no problems
 
when i got my 4in lift from rough country for my yota i put the shocks they sent me on 3 days before the lift went on and the only difference i noticed was it was really bouncy it was smooth till i went over a bump then i started to bounce like no ones bussiness so you could put them but be ready for some bumps.
p.s. i now know why they are called rough country!!!!!!
 
Does anyone know if/where i can buy Old man Emu shocks for my 1997 ranger...Cause im not sure what kind of connections my shocks have, so i dont know what to get.
 
Anyone know if F150 shocks from the wrecker would do the trick? I just put in a 2" leveling kit in my 95 ranger supercab 4x4 4.0.

Any info about if the mounts are the same (no mods) or if length would be increased by 2". I've also heard that wrangler shocks could possibly give me what I'm looking for.
