I have a 1991 TTB Ranger with a 4" Rancho lift. It also has a steering stabilizer. The shocks are well worn out on it, and I am wanting to replace. It has the 4.0 in front which is heavy, but the ride is still rough. From what I understand, the lift springs in a lot of these kits are rough. But I can deal with that later.
What I'm not sure about is how to pick out the right length / capacity shocks to replace them, since they aren't stock anymore. I can get under the truck and take any measurements I need to.
Also, what brands / types should I be looking for?
The truck is a 4x4 and I use it for snow and minor off-roading but for most of the time it's a mall crawler, so I am not needing super heavy duty stuff.
I have never bought shocks or any sort of suspension parts before so I don't want to be buying and then returning a whole bunch of parts. Sorry if this is a little dumb.
Edit: Also I have a popping noise that sometimes occurs when I go NEAR full lock to the left, and sometimes when I turn back from full lock (from left to center or right). Sounds hollow, and somewhat twang-y. By "full lock" I mean "just before my tires start rubbing" since I don't have enough offset on my rims. What should I start looking for to figure this out?
