Air Shocks

Just wondered if anyone has installed them on the rear. I would think that they would be a nice addition. Especially if you are haling a heavy load.
Anyone have recommendations or Are they even worth it.

i had them on an s10 for years. Worked pretty good. I kept them with like 2-5 lbs of air in them for daily driving. Back end of those trucks (like rangers i suspect) is so light a super soft shock (aka no air in them) made it ride more car like. When i did haul something and not air them up it was bouncy but not uncontrollable. When i knew i was hauling heavy stuff id pump them up and rode great. I got a universal kit from i think autozone for $60 some bucks back then.

Thanks, I see Monroe has them for the Ranger. Not real expensive. I just didn't know if they were worth the effort.

The Monroe ride rough at low to no air pressure and a empty bed. If you are always carrying 400+ pounds in the back you can run about 7-10 lbs (enough to keep the suspension level) for a comfortable ride. If you do go that route also spend a little more to get a 12v compressor that you can store behind your seat.
