91 ranger shock size

[turbo]

hello thanks for reading! Im running 6" skyjaker kit on my 4.0l 4x4 ranger and am planning to buy bilstein 5150 shocks. Does anyone know the correct shock size for this setup? Thanks Im hoping to not have to ramp and measure.

I can measure my rancho that came off my 6inch skyjacker kit from when I bought my truck if that will help you........


and dont buy those ones with the little tiny resivor on the shock.not worth the extra 50 a shock

Front shocks for a 6" lift will be 21-22" fully extended length (measured from base of stud to eye).

Rear shocks IIRC will need to be around 31" ext., but I can't swear to that one.

Thanks guys. I talked to the bilstein rep and he said The 5150 is only necessary for running long periods of heavy use under high temps. He recommended using the 5100 on rangers
