Shock replacement
 
Hi i just recently leveled my 03 4.0l sohc 4wd ranger. And i just noticed that when i hit a bump i hear like a slight bang noise like when you have a bad shock. Now that i have lifted the front up a little should i put larger shocks on and if so what size?

How did you “level” the truck?

Ahh, that’s more than likely the cause of your issue. You can only safely get 1.5-2” max adjustment out of the front suspension on the torsion bar Rangers. If you push it past that, you start running into issues. The noise you are hearing is probably the upper control arm hitting the frame or the shock topping out.

Do you have any pictures of the front suspension as it sits?
