Re: BlakeK2's Ranger

Update:
Ranger was totaled about 11 months ago, frame was bent. Have acquired a new frame and will commence frame swap this summer.

Re: 98 4wd shocks

no idea for the expos but any rear shock from 93-2011 should fit.
up front 98-2008 have the same front height, so anyone of those should work.
