High Rider Option?
I have to put new shocks on my truck. Its a 95 Rnager Supercab 4wd 4l. I ordered them at a local Advanced Auto Parts. I decidede to double check which part they orderd and I see they have 2 different shocks for the front of my truck. One is for 4WD with "High Rider Option" and the other isn't. How do I know if my truck has the High Rider Option? Here is a link to the info on the shocks:

My 90 X-cab, 4WD, 4L also had the available option "High Rider". I would also like to know what it is or how do you know if you have it? Even the Ford dealer can't answer the question. But- I did replace the shocks on mine, and found the replacements are about half the diameter of the originals, and do not perform anywhere near what the originals did. Now if I hit bumps with the rear wheels, the truck almost ends up sideways. The truck also wanders now, but didn't until I replaced them.

I am not 100% sure, but I think this has been an available option for many years. I have an 88' XLT 4x2 and it sits WAY higher than the other Rangers I pull up next to of a similar year.
There must be something in the VIN that denotes this option. Can someone elaborate?
