I have a stock 1997 Ranger 2.3 5spd, my back shocks are pretty ugly and the fronts arent much better im sure. Got someone with 4 ranchos, barely used for 40$. I know its a good deal, but im unsure if I can make em work. Rear PN - 3034-18080 30in fullstroke, 19in fully compressed. Front PN - 3034-18045, 24.5in fullstroke. Not sure what the fronts are fully compressed. Im just worried about bottoming out maybe.. any idea if I can make em fit? Thanks.

got a tape measure?

measure your shock stroke in comparison to the rancho stroke...

Thanks, I can do that but im not very knowledgable about the ranger, or trucks in general. Im guessing that i should take the shock off and measure extended and compressed lengths.. once I do that, Im guessing that my numbers will be slighty lower than the rancho's as it came off of a f250. I guess my question is there a certain acceptable range of an increase, and anything past that is too much..? Or ? Thanks for the time and help guys.

Wait, they came off an F250?! I doubt they'll fit a Ranger.
