bilsteins are great shocks, itll be like a hole new truck.

That's what I'm hoping happens. I have to drill out the top mount as the new shocks are for a Fullsize Broncos so the shaft is 1/2" at the top of the shock.

I also recently purchased one from 4 Wheel Online and will have it installed by a mechanic tomorrow. How much did you purchase yours?

 

[CaliNickXLT]

these ones are $90 each i believe, but i got them off my brother for $50 for the pair. Im going to drill out the mounts tonight and hopefully install them. if my math is right ill have about 1/4"-5/16" inbetween my shocks and cv axels after the install. these shocks are quite big but with a little ingenuity ill be able to make em work. If i have to ill weld up new shock mounts because i really wanna see these things on my truck.

If you're still near stock height you're gonna be awful close to bottoming out those Bilsteins, those things are way longer than the stockers.

 

[CaliNickXLT]

Yes they are longer than stock shocks but only by about 3". When i had my Explorer i put Racnho 5000s on it that where about the same lengh longer than stock shocks. i just did about 1" TT along with the shocks and they worked out great. ill be doing the same to the Ranger as well. Ill be intsalling these tonight after work so pics should be up by tomarrow.
This truck site pretty damn tall the way it sits. Ive got 31" A/T and about 6" of space between rear tires and fender, along with about 4"-5" in the front.

So they are on ! Took 2 1/2 hours but there on. There was a shit ton of loctite on the threads so my grinder came in pretty handy. They feel great so far but we shall see after they settle. They gave me exactly 1" on each side but that's brand new.
