Any kind that replaces the entire stock bracket, most people run Skyjacker.

Those, along with Superlift (anything made after 2005 or so).

Skyjacker & James Duff are the sturdiest.
Good luck getting one from Duff though... Unless they've changed their policy, they won't sell you any individual part for a Ranger (this while they'll sell you parts for a Bronco all day long :icon_confused: :rolleyes: )

You could also just extend your bump stop on that side, it would limit some up-travel but would save the diff.
