So you don’t need to jack it up, leave the tires on the ground.?
Would this work for the 1998 version of the ranger?
@jlsparky7 did i say there was in shocks your moronical there are springs
in shocks….. but its what ever hope you get crushed for being a improper
mechanical worker.
@rangerxlt3 You really should replace both rear shocks, not just one. Just
so you know. I hope this vid helped though.
Thanks it looks easy.
My bad, I should have looked further before commenting. Thanks again, these
vids are very helpful.
You said 19mm wrench, it was 18mm on mine
Glad they helped 🙂 Thanks for the comments
Just did this on my 2002 Mazda B2300 2wd (which is a Ranger with a
different body). Your video was very helpful. I have a couple
questions/suggestions: -You should show how to properly jack the pick up to
do this shock replacement -I had to use a 15mm and an 18mm wrenches, not a
15mm and a 19mm. -Removing the spare clears a tiny bit of space, but it
doesn’t do much. -The ride became much stiffer for me, maybe a little too
much -Can you expand on how to jack the pick up to do the front shocks?Thx
Actually didn’t notice much of a difference at all… Little stiffer on the
brakes, that’s about it.
these shocks dont increase ride height do they???
Check your leaf spring shackles. Thats definitely a possibility. I did a
vid on it, search on my channel.
nice
I’ll be doing the rear driver side today on my 2002 Ranger Edge…
ok thank you. ur video is awsome btw, very clear and simple, great job !
@snapshotdc It is pretty easy on the rear, fronts are a little harder.
Glad it helped :)Thanks!
Glad the vid helped 🙂 Thanks for the compliments
@jlsparky7 Thanks not thats*
why did u do this my rear suspension clunks and was told to do this or put
new leaf springs on
@chamblizi Im still here and have all my limbs… :-/
@semper fi No they do not. Stock ride height. 🙂
I can’t remember if I removed the spare or not. I might of for more light
and a better camera angle.
Glad I was able to help 🙂
Almost the exact same procedure. You might have an extra shock that is a
dampening shock. It would be in the middle and fairly obvious.
jlsparky7, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I did my 1998 Ford
Ranger tonight. Bottom bolts were painful but I finally got them off. Had
to stop to rest my arms for the night. 🙂 Tomorrow I install the new
shocks. I messed up trying to replace my struts on my 1988 Mazda 626 so I
was a little hesitant doing my truck but your video did a great job showing
how to do the job and to do it safely. Thanks again!
is there a way, i can buy i shock, just like yours that will increase the
ride height, i don’t want to buy the whole suspension lift kit, i just want
to replace my shocks, but with the replacement shocks, my truck would ride
higher. i have 96 ranger xlt with stock suspension, i am looking at the
skyjacker nitro 8000, will this increase the height. Thank you very much.
@hp11208 Thanks man.
