Bought these for my farm truck, a Mazda B3000, basically a Ford Ranger with a better V6 engine. Truck was already a very good old (2002) billy goat that hauls tools and fencing supplies all over the farm for me without issues. My mechanic suggested Bilstein's as being the best fit for my farm usage and man what a difference in ride on and off the property. I'm encouraged to fix/upgrade/replace a few things now that I've been putting off as unimportant because I'm so pleased with the ride/handling, off road and on. This little truck is a keeper.
These shocks bring a real truck feel to my 2006 Ford Ranger 4x4. In my opinion they are far superior than the OEM shocks they replaced. If you do not want your truck to ride and handle like a truck then stay away from these.
