These the right Bilstein Shocks?
I am ordering new shocks and was wondering if these are the ones I need. The front part# is B46-2794-H0 and the rear part# is BE5-2816-H0
I have done a search but could not find a straight answer!
Thanks,
Roach
Also where is the best place to order them from?

Yeah... guess I'm not really sure what your going for. I did a search on Bilstein's site and here's the part # for 2004 4x2 Rangers:
Front #: F4-BE5-2791-H0
Rear #: F4-BE5-2792-H0
Not sure if you are going for something else. Just entered 2004 Ford Ranger in their search.

And as for ordering them, I think the cheapest I found them was through Napa. I think I went through a vendor on R-F cause it was like $5 more or something and I'd rather support R-F then Napa, but I don't really remember too be honest. I can look it up if you want me too.

Interesting.. got a linky?
Pardon my ignorance here.. but what difference would a spindle lift make on shock app? The suspension travel is exactly the same as stock, isn't it? So you wouldn't need or want a shock w/ a different travel length. The only thing that you might want different is valving.. maybe. What am I missing?

What is the lift technique ya'll use for the rear? I thought it was blocks, just like stock Edge/4x4's (incl. mine). If it is blocks.. how are you getting more travel? Aren't you just relocating the shock & spring mounts?
I could understand how a longer rear could be more desirable.. but still don't see the requirement. I would figure you'd want Edge/4x4 compatible parts.

I've never heard of an FX2.. I know they have an FX4 package for the F150's as well. IIRC that package came w/ Rancho shocks.
The '02 FX4 and '03+ FX4 LII Ranger package was the only one w/ Bilsteins. I'd be surprised to learn that they are just repainted, off the shelf Ford parts or something. They sure do ride right.
I've also heard that the fact that the '02 Ranger FX4 package had such cool goodies, better goodies than the F150 FX4 package did, that Ford decided to 'upgrade' the package name to 'FX4 Level II' in an (lame, IMHO) attempt to differentiate the packages.
