Will these Shocks work on my Ranger?

[Shawnski]

Bilsteins - listed for a 4wd up to MY 1997...Will these work on my 2005 2wd? These look like a great price...

Check the lengths of the shocks that are already on your truck to see if they are the same length both compressed and extended and check the way that they are mounted, if everything is the same you'll be fine

The front suspension is completely different from a 97 and a 2005.

Yes but is the rear?

I should have been more specific its for the rear...

for the rear they should work the design for the way the rear shocks are mounted are all the same mi sure
im pretty sure those will be stiffer shocks since there 4wd but dont quote me on anything lol
but youll like the bilsteins they make good shocks

Happy St. Patricks Day!

That's what I was thinking - I don't believe the rear shocks are mounted differently from '93 - current...

The length may be a different story, however the '04-current 2wd sure seem to sit higher... May be worth a shot as the price for a pair are cheap and I could always re-sell them on ebay (for a managable loss) if they don't work.

I don't think my shocks (90k mi) are shot, however I am thinking though that the mono-tube Bilstein will settle the "busy" ride..?

your truck might sit a little higher and ithey will probably be alot stiffer but they should work
if they dont you can sell them on ebay lol
good luck
