So Im looking to make my stock 4x4 ranger a little more off road worthy. I was thinking new bilstein HD shocks or fox shocks. What would you recommend ?

Also I heard different things such as that ORW offers custom valved fox shocks for stock
4x4 trucks using the stock mounts, any info on that?

 

I'd go with Bilstein unless you are looking to spend a lot of money. In that case, I'd go with Fox.
