"I have a 97 ranger and the installation was easy just jack the rear end up till the bottom bolt alligns up with the bottom of the shock. Shock raises the back of the truck up a couple of inches but i am not complaining."

BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK!!!,
November 12, 2008
By Hugie67K20from BRIDGEWATER N.J.
Pros: SHOCKS WORK GREAT!!! SMOOTHS OUT RIDE, SLIGHT LIFT AND WORKS GREAT WHEN PLOW IS ATTACHED. Cons: I WOULD ADVISE INSTALLER TO USE NEW GRADE 8 BOLTS AND PAINT THE COIL SPRING WITH A GOOD RUSTPROOF PAINT. SPRING RUSTS
"USED THIS STYLE SHOCK ON BIG CARS AND TRUCK. RIDE IS SMOOTH AND SOFT. IT IS NOT HARD AT ALL WITH ABOUT A 1 INCH RAISE IN HEIGHT! I'M GLAD TO SEE OVER THE 20 YEARS I HAVE BEEN USING THESE SHOCKS QUALITY HAS NOT CHANGED AT ALL!!!"

Pros: price and performance Cons: hard to compress to install.
"I installed mine on my 93, F-150 supercab. Other than the fact that they do not come precompressed like alot of shocks do and on top of that you have the red coil over springs to add to the difficulty of compressing by hand. These Shocks are great! once i got them in and took them on road I noticed a much inproved handling and lack of brake dive. No more weel hop on take offs, and off road they performed like a dream. They raised my truck up and inch in the rear from the old shocks that were well beyond there years of use. I might "not" have to use blocks now when i lift the front! whoo hoo!"

"If you need to improve your handling, or raise your ride height ( an inch in most cases ) or if you tow , these shocks are it. These shocks replaced another set of overload shocks I bought and installed in the front of my car from J.C. years ago. I have Overload shocks in both front and rear on my full size 84 Park Ave. I have 4 on my 78 Camaro and 4 on my Buick Roadmaster. A floor jack , safety stand and common hand tools are needed. You'll get a nice firm ride too. great price. I bought 2 oil filters to put me into the free shipping."
