are they the rancho 5000? I have a 4" lift on my 67 f100 and Im trying to get the correct part number for the front shocks. I have the stud up top and eyelet on bottom, but the ones I got from rancho that were "suppose" to fit my truck had the stud on top and bottom. How long are thoes shocks compressed and fully extended if you know? and what is the shock part number? My shock mounts in front are 18" apart after my 4" lift.

do you have the rollcage becuase you jump your truck?

i dont know what the serise is it just says rancho on them the front shocks are 16" to 24". the set in the link is like the set that i bought but the rear are huge so look at my gallery to see how i mounted those if you want to buy that set.

oh yeah. no i dont jump it but i had to cut the old roof off because it was completely rusted out and wanted to make that part stronger just in case i roll it like what happened to AmericanMuscle67 and to mount my seats and 4 point harnesses to. + i think it looks pretty cool :D

Boots it sounds like you got a set of shocks for a 4wd, The highboys and lowboys have a post at both ends up front and eyes on both ends on the rear.
