The mounts go into the stock shock bracket on the frame and one goes onto the lower control arm. I think you'd be fine on a stcok height ranger...just get the right coilover.

just use those brackets and get shorter coilovers on for the stock height.... im sure all it would take was a bit of measuring to find the right size coilovers

you might be able to pull something off.. if your feelin fancy I'm sure a shop could build you some hoops for the full "conversion length" coil over..

I think you guys missed Dangerranger01's comment. This brackets wouldn't have anything to do with your ride height. All they do is beef up the shock mounts to accept a coilover and be able to support the entire weight of the truck, since your T-Bars are disappearing. Your ride height is all going to be determined by the Coilover length / Spring Rate.
