Hey guys. I have a 92' power ram 150 4x4. I am looking for some front
shocks for the truck. There is about a 1.5 inch difference in the
height in the front and back with the font being lowest. Found some
front shocks that give it around a 2 inch lift for the front. Would
this work or is there a better way to go? Thanks, Brian

Shocks do not support the weight of the truck. So you can't get any lift at all
from them.
Rancho shocks are on sale at NAPA.

Unless they are air shocks, but I personally don't like them. Maybe
something like 2" Tuff Country Add-a-Leafs would be a better option. They
are less than $100 for the kit and I've never seen a leaf spring leak.

Napa also sells re-packaged Monroe shocks under their own brand name.
Compare prices. Napa is /usually/ cheaper.

I think I will go with the add a leafs after looking at them and there
only $67. Can't stand the front sagen down, makes it look like a 2WD.
Thanks, Brian
