monroe part #58608 or gabriel #43165
both shocks are meant for extra towing capacity. I tow a boat with my ranger as well as a trailer.
I'm going to go on my next paycheck and get a set of leaf springs from a 91 4x4 ranger at the u-pull as they have extra leafs in them but I'm also thinking of grabbing a set of these shocks as my originals are worn anyway.
its a 96 2.3 ranger. I've already swapped in the 8.8 limited slip from the same 91 donor truck and its definitely improved towing with the trailer but the ass end still sags.
I'm curious just how bouncy the backend will be with nothing out back is all?
I have a class 3 hitch on the frame and if you were wondering if the stock engine can take it...dont worry I'm doing all these suspension/towing upgrades while collecting the parts to get a 5.0 in the engine bay. basically, I'm wanting the towing capacity that my stock 2wd mountaineer used to have in a nice tiny packaged ranger.
here's the shocks I'm looking at:
