Bilsteins Don't Fit

Decided to upgrade to some Bilsteins. Ordered a set of four, and the front ones don't fit.



According to Bilsteins' website, they fit. But the holes are way too far apart. Anyone else have this issue?

I believe it depends on coil spring or torsion bar front suspension, not RWD or 4x4

Well, Bilstein says they're supposed to fit as I don't have coil-overs.

How about if you tell us what your Ranger is and the part number of the Bilsteins.

Your profile is not showing on my computer. The shocks showing on that website are not for a 4WD Ranger. That is the style for 2WD. The front shocks for 4WD have an extended stem at the bottom to clear the drive axle.
