Supposedly the bilstein's in the levell II's are specially valved for the ranger. I have heard from other people that the Bilstein's from the parts stores are diff. The only way to get the same ones as the Levell II's is to go to the dealer. they are not cheap, I think they told me they were around $88.00 a piece. I'm to cheap and bought 4 pro-comps for $100.00. They work good for me and I haven't wished that I spent more money on shocks yet.

hmm interesting thread about the specially valved ones for the ranger. I wonder if anyone has any info to compare on how other shocks rank up to the bilsteins for the price??? I know supposidly the bilsteins are amazing but they are a hefty price tag just for shocks, anyone else have any real life testing they can add in on how others do compared to the bilsteins???? just food for thought!

Wow, didn't remember them being that high, but then again, when they told me the price I just laughed and walked away.

i went to auto source and they were 79.99 kinda price but if they are worth it probably get them. kinda curious about the different valves on the level II ones.

I purchased my Bilsteins off ebay for less than 3 huneys and they do what Bilsteins do. Not my first set off ebay either.
