How does your Ranger ride?
After a tbar crank and 33s its a little rough but on the highway it seems nice to me . I am sure some new shocks would help. I wouldnt want to go back to stock to get a little better ride. Just lower your tire pressure a little . When i run 35 in my tires its a lot rougher,but at 28 its not bad.
But like offroadin redneck said it can take speedbumps nice.

My Ranger rode awesome even with 33s, as long as the torsion bars weren't cranked, the sway bars were disconnected, I had bilstein shocks and fresh front end parts. The ride was super smooth until ball joints started getting worn out again.
Or just leave the truck alone? Don't know if the newer trucks have better suspensions or what the deal is, but even with the HD payload option and load assist coil shocks on the rear...I still have a smooth ride. I'm the only one in the family with a truck now, and they all comment on how much smoother my "truck" seems when they ride with me.

the suspensions have remained unchanged since 1998 with the only differences being spring rates and shocks. compaired to other trucks my ranger rides great but compair my ranger to my F-150 and the ranger rides like a piece of crap. its all depends on what you compair it to
my 5100s cleaned up the ride quality especially on irregular highway roads. Sideskipping was a major problem on stock shocks but it doesn't happen much anymore on the Bilsteins. Its still stiff as a motherf*cker though
