I've looked and found similar situations, but nothing quite right.
What longer OEM shocks could I possibly use? I don't care to use "heavy duty" shocks, it already has a rough ride. I also don't care to have overpriced shocks either! Just regular OEM shocks. Here's some history:
I recently jacked up the truck on the lower control arm and then set it on jack stands at the frame... when I lowered the jack, the suspension didn't drop at all! Same with the rear. I have no idea how high it's lifted as I have no clue what the original ride height is. It rides like a tractor, I've considered removing the leaf and cranking the torsion back down, but I am unsure how close to stock the new keys will go back down... and tbh, I like the height!
I bought this 2011 Ranger Sport and it has a SuperSpring SSA30 (I believe) lifting the rear of the truck. I leveled with torsion keys and the installer (NTB) didn't put in the shock extenders. If I can avoid it, I'd rather have longer shocks than have weird washers and bushings to extend the length artificially.
Thanks!
