Review: Easy to install - I installed these on my 2006 ford ranger. I honestly don't fot to measure the ride height before I swapped them out sonic don't know the exact amount but they definitely add so.e height back to the truck. Also the stiffened the rear end right up. Before when I got in the bed the truck would drop a couple of inches. Now it barely moves. I even loaded it with 12 4x4s and 12 2x4s the same day and the ride was so much better. I would recommend jacking the vehicle up and putting it on Jack stands on the frame rails so the rear end drops fully down. I did that and made installation super easy. I also sprained the bolts down with penetrating oil well in advance. As of right now I think it's a decent buy.

I saw people saying it fit a ranger and some saying it didn't. I have a: 98 Ford ranger XLT 2wd, 6ft bed with front spring suspension. These were a pain to install but I was able to do it with the factory bottle jack and some jack stands. I lifted the rear up by the diff. I placed a jaclstand with a pice of 2x4 on top under the frame on the side I am working on. I removed the tire. I slowly lowered the jacl. This allowed the rear to sag so I didn't have to depress the spring as much. My old shocks were shot so they came out easily. I mounted the top of the new shocks in place amd tightened it a few threads. I placed the bottle jack alittle forward of the bottom mount. The shock is still too long so I had to pry it so that it sat on top of the jack. I lifted the jack so it sat near where I needed it to be. I used a flat head to try and pry it into place and a Phillips to push through the bolt hole and then guide the mounting bolt through. Hopefully this quick writeup helps someone in the future. Car feels like it handles way better and it sits even. No more rear end sag. Will update later on longevity. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gabriel 43167 Load Carrier Rear Towing Shock Absorbers for Ford Bronco, F-100, F-150, F-250, F-350, Ranger; Mazda B2300, B2500, B3000, B4000 - RWD (1 Pair) - A-Premium Front Shock Absorbers Sturts Compatible with Ford F-150 F-250 1980-1996, F-350 1980-1997, Ranger 1983-1989 & Dodge Dakota 1997-2004, Durango 1998-2003 --- ## 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/7705594-43167-load-carrier-rear-shocks-spring-assist-towing-and-hauling](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/7705594-43167-load-carrier-rear-shocks-spring-assist-towing-and-hauling) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-20*
