Alright, so here's the deal. i lifted my 2wd '96 ranger with a 4 inch Rough Country Suspension lift. it had blocks and shocks in the rear and all the fancy drop brackets and the like up front. it figures i pull a cheap move and buy a cheap lift, i expected cheap quality, but these shocks are a ballsy move on Rough Country's part. they beat the hell out of you. i only lifted the back for now, no floor jack ATM so i had to wait, but i took it for a spin, no bed, and NO weight on the a$$ end, and i swear my head bent my roof out and ruined my headliner. i almost broke a nut with my seat-belt and bruised my cranium. the shocks max out too easily, did i get screwed?
i was almost thinking of going with some bilsteins, i've had good experiences previously, but what should i do??? i know putting the bed back on and finishing my wanna-be-cage would make the ride nicer but whats the deal with RC sending me shocks that aren't long enough?
any suggestions on how to fix it or what shocks to buy? is not a highway truck, it is strictly trail riding.
i'm stuck folks, anything would help. my head and lower regions would thank you.
