Hello again fellow Ranger enthusiasts. I’m trying to pick anyone’s brain on where I can find some reliable Bar Pin Eliminators for my front Bilstein shocks to be mounted on my lower control arms….. Recently bought some stock ride height 4600s that come with a bar pin lower mount. But I’m trying to get just a little more clearance about an inch or two. Any suggestions? I’m also open to any safe rigging thay anyone’s tried involving spacers and such. Mainly tryin to go BPE route but so far I’m finding jeep focused products mostly.

Above is the item I’m replacing old shocks with.


My removed OEM shock- Note that the original has the fasteners permanently fixed onto bar pin mount. I’m trying to capitalize on the removable bar pin on the new Bilsteins to give me a very minor lift on the shocks.
