On my ranger, i cranked the t-bars a bit. Now it rides stiffer, but not too bad... but i might want to replace the shocks with softer ones? Does anyone know what the valving is on these shocks is? And what might be a good replacement?

My solution was to crank them back down some.

My front shocks/suspension was "topping out" and I didn't like the ride.

I installed KYB Monomax's at the same time (I did LBJs, UCAs, shocks, brakes, OTRs and steering rack). I like the KYBs much better since readjusting the Tbars back down some.

I had to lower the t bar bolt some as well. It still sits just about level but the ride is much better then at full crank, Im two turns out from full now.

Yeah mine aren't fully cranked either, i did my wheel bearings, now it's time for some balljoints and shocks i think... i wish lift kits existed for these trucks... well i wish they were affordable.
