HIGH RYDER
hi- the search i have been doing to replace my rusted out shocks and broken stabilizer bar link have led me from o'reilly's a. p. to ford parts.com....each place i have searched for the shocks is telling me they will fit all EXCEPT 4x4 w/ high ryder option. its a 95 4x4 with the dana 28 axle and even ford parts isn't telling me whether my truck has that ( ?...how can they not know from the VIN i gave)- but i guess 95 was a big engineering detail change year for the rangers. would appreciate any info before i buy the 32296 monroe or the AS-464-G original ford shock. thanks

update shocks/springs
well i have received the computer print out of the current alignment from the same garage that did the first about 90 days ago- this print out tells me that the alignment is spot on! No- the mechanics try but have no explanation of why the drivers side tire is entirely bald on the inside 25%- yet the passenger side is wearing normally...??? this will be the second tire- a Goodyear GT with 20K- to be ruined. and that in barely 2000 miles??!!

To be quite honest, the Twin Traction Beam front axle on your truck can be problematic due to it's IFS design. You really need to make sure that every single ball joint, pivot bushing, tie-rod, center link, and radius arm bushing is in good shape before you have it aligned. Also look for cracks in the frame behind the steering box. Any one of these issues can wreak havoc on the suspension and cause uneven tire wear.
