Default Where to get Bilstein shocks

I have been looking around for about a week for Bilstein stock replacement shocks for my 03 Ranger Edge 2WD, but have had no luck. I ordered all 4 from Ebay but found out they didnt fit the Edge so I had to cancel.
Someone please let me know where I can get all 4 for under $300 that are for Edge 2wd! My shocks now are toast and my truck rides like a total beater. Thanks

Go to AJUSA.com I just ordered two 5100s for the front of my XLT They have the cheapest price anywhere (Like 75.50 a shock), Ive looooooked. Plus free shipping on orders over $75.00. If you use the coupon code EBUNNY you will get $10 off (I think on orders over $100 or somethink, just double check retailmenot.com for coupons). All in all I paid somewhere around like $144.xx for two shocks. They have a $4 processing fee, but hell its still cheapest around.

Cool. When I'm ready to grab my Bilsteins I'll go with this advice too!

Yeah! Rule of thumb, ALWAYS google "[website] coupon codes" and try them out haha. Sometimes theyre good sometimes they are expired. This AJUSA.com seems to put them out quite often from the looks of retailmenot.com

I thought the shocks for the Edge were different than the ones for XLT?
AJUSA.com has Bilstein shocks for extended cab 4 door, which is what I have but the EDGE version. Can someone please tell me if these will work for my truck and if the EDGE uses the same shocks as other Rangers?

You have an XLT correct?

I ordered a set for a Chevy 1500 lol, they are the ones Camburg uses in their 5.5 kit because they are valved perfectly for a lifted ranger.. which is what I am doing. You have to modify the lower T-bar (really easy tho) They may be to long on a stock suspension..

It appears that AJUSA lists the mount specifications.

For example it shows this.

F4-BE5-2791-H0
Setting: Heavy Duty (HD); Front
Lower Mounting: bar mount; Lower Mounting: eye; Spring Seat: NO; Upper Mounting: pin; DriveType: RWD

Im not familiar, but i think the EDGE use a pin mount on the top and eye mount on the bottom for front shocks. This description, as i interpret it, means the there is a eye for the lower mount and pin for the upper. Its obvi for a 2wd. And i think spring seat: NO means no coil spring which means torsion bars = EDGE.

Im not 100% though. Worst comes to worst, call AJUSA or Bistein.
