i don't think they make those for rangers. rather the "mono-max" units
KYB mono-max are probably the stiffest out there.
monroe "reflex" twin tube shocks are what you are looking for.
there the same as the rancho "rsx" shocks but cheaper. they dont have the fancy red boots

All made by Tenneco automotive which makes Dynomax exhaust stuff also.
The Monroe's are valved slightly less stiff, have nitrided rather than chromed rods and no boots -- but other than that they are exactly the same design as Mark said. The differences really don't add up to much. If you offroad a lot and need more control get the Rancho's. If you do mostly street and don't care so much about offroad get the Monroe branded.

Part # for your '03 KYB Gas-A-Just
Front=kg54309
Rear=kg5493
These shocks are not as stiff as the MonoMax's but very comparable to the Reflex and Ranchos. Go with any Monotube shock, you will have better performance, and no shock-fade whatsoever(Shock fade is when the gas and oil combine, losing performance of the shock.)
