Need info about Shocks!

[Gagst]

Hi Everyone,

I Got a B4000 4x4 2002 with a 'add-a-leaf' lift. So my truck is like 2'' lifted on rear, the front is Stock.

I plan to change my shocks and i would like to know what should be the right one. I've found that the 'Rancho RS5000 series' may be good for my rear suspension. like they wrote in the description :
'' RS5000 Series; 25 3 / 4 in. Extended; 16 1 / 4 in. Collapsed; 9 1 / 2 in. Stroke; w / 1 - 2.5 in. Lift ''

compared to 'stock', these Rancho should be more effective with the lift I suppose? or should I buy rancho with the same specs as stocks ones?

I need some advice for the rear,
Sorry for my english, that's not my first language

Thanks
Steven G.

For the lifted rig you need the longer shocks. The shocks are barley long enough stock on these trucks so any amount of lift will be pushing them to their limits. I think rancho is the only company that offers longer shocks for the mazda\ranger.. but I could be wrong.
