I've heard nothing but good things about Bilsteins on Rangers, I'm running a set and I'm happy with them.

I am personally a fan of KYB shocks. Not too stiff, but not too spongy.

Re: What are the best Shocks ?
I have a '99 with maxed tbars, which shocks would be the best for off roading? I need them to be longer to take up the space given by the t bars. Ive heard alot of good about bilsteins... which model is best for the rangers?

I fourth this, i just picked up a set of new bilstines because my 10 year old ones are all rusty and well, just need to be replaced.
Bilsteins are great.
The model that fits the ranger are called the B6 HD

Is that the only model for rangers? I am looking for an extended shock because of my torsion crank.
