2011 2.5'' lifted 4x4 Ranger
Hey guys, as the title says, my 2011 4x4 has 2.5'' front lift (changed and cranked torsion keys).
Now, I have the problem that my OEM Ranchos were to short and are now dead.
What companies make a strut that fits onto my truck, but is longer (3''). Be advised, my strut has a skinny part at the bottom to clear the shafts
Picture for info only (i have the OEM Rancho RS5229)

you dont want longer shocks because your cvs and balljoints will be dead instead of the shocks.
change in preload (torsion crank, torsion keys, coil spring spacer..etc) do not require longer shocks becuase your geometry isnt changing.
the shocks are dead becuase the susp. was not designed to be at that angle at all times and the added preload of the torsion keys causes the shocks to limit droop more violently.

Ive said it a million times now you do NOT need longer shocks with prekeys or a tbar crank.
Find used keys out of a 2007 and older ranger.

Since you are 4WD - you have the following general options when it comes to lifting your truck:
- 1"-2" Torsion Bar Crank = Cost is only an alignment.
- 2" Leveling Kit = Waste of money, same as a torsion bar crank - see option #1 above.
- 3" Body Lift = +/- $200 + Install
- 4" Superlift = +/- $2,000 + Install
- Custom SAS = "Let your imagination take control of your wallet"
- Purchase my truck = $TBD - PM if interested & have money.
