Need help with Shocks!
I have a 95 f150 4x4 with what i think is a 4" suspension lift and my shocks and steering stabilizer are shot and i need to replace them but im not sure what exactly i need. Right now it has ranchero rs5000's on it but i know you can get them in all different travel lenghts and everything so can someone help me? I dont want to take it to someone to replace because they'll probable mess it up. I have stock rims with 31" tires. Thank you.

Go to rancho's website.
Www.gorancho.com
Put in your info, they have shock listings for your truck without a 4" lift. Than you can order those part numbers from anywhere.

Aft of Front Axle RS5117
Forward of Front Axl RS5179
Rear RS511
The qualifiers were whether or not not you have the factory quad shock set-up on the front.

I'd look RSX or skip Rancho altogether. The RS5000 shocks aren't gas charged. They suck in my opinion. I like Monroe Gas Magnum.
