They do NOT fit if you have a 4in spindle lift. A spindle lift does NOT change any of your suspension components, only the height of the tire placement. You will still need a stock size shock absorber. I learned this the hard way.. should've done more research. Do more research :) Review: A+ Fit - Works great, easy to install. ## Features - 10 Stage Variable Valving, Military Fluid Rated To -50 Degrees C - Nitrogen Charged, Rubber Bushings, 36kN Tensile Strength - Fast Cooling 54mm Shock Body - Spring Loaded Piston Rod Seal.

I purchased several suspension components to prepare for some repairs and refresh. I was looking for you upgraded shocks to replace my factory ones. Ordered these thinking they would fit my 99 ranger. Amazon showed it would fit. Nowhere in the description does it state that this is for lifted trucks. The title I assumed was a measurement of the shock tube body or something. Unfortunately, I waited until I had enough money to buy the parts I needed and finally getting everything after a couple months, I went to try to install. These won't work for what I needed and I'm way past the return window. So now I'm stuck with new shocks I can't use and out a hundred bucks plus still have to find some that I can use. Would be nice if they can change the description to clearly state this will not work unless you have a lift kit. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rough Country 4.5-5.5" N3 Front Shocks for 98-11 Ford Ranger - 23211_A - Rough Country 2.5-5" N3 Rear Shocks for 83-11 Ford Ranger - 23210_H - Suspension Dudes PAIR Front Sway Bar Stabilizer Links Mountaineer Pickup Explorer Ranger Ram, Bushings Made In USA K700542 K7275 (K700542 / K7275) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/215543983-4-5-5-5-n3-front-shocks-for-98-11](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/215543983-4-5-5-5-n3-front-shocks-for-98-11) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
