Just a little bit of clarification...shocks or struts surrounded by a spring are referred to as Coilovers ( what you have on the front)......what you have on the rear. we call shocks with dust boots...?.....I like what you have done
sensible upgrades that will work well together....
Ya, you beat me to it. The kit linked by the OP Is front coil-overs and rear mono tube shocks. I believe there are rear coil-over options for Ranger, but I haven't seen any having done it yet, I was pretty excited.

Still a good set up the OP chose.

I have seen it ,but it was done on a custom fabricated long travel linked suspension with an extra long King custom built shock/ spring....full race...

I did the research, spent 6 months reading and talking to many people. Found the folks at Stage3 Motorsports to be super knowledgeable, so I bought my parts from them
-Eibach 2.0 stage 1 level kit front and rear coil overs . Got rid of the FX4 suspension.
-SPC UCA’s because why put on suspension and larger tires and aftermarket rims and not complete the package, easier to adjust for alignment and makes the whole suspension package make sense.
-ICON Vector 6 rims
-Falken AT3W went up one size from OEM tire size.

I don’t care what anyone says. Night and day difference from stock. I almost got rid of it and went back to a full size truck when I first bought it. Nose dive, harsh over bumps, very uncomfortable.

what I wanted was a level truck that was comfortable to be my daily driver. I’m very impressed with how it handles and drives now. I always laugh to myself and wonder what the engineers at Ford were thinking. I assume none of them drove the Ranger stock for any length of time.

Nice truck!

I have Eibach 2.0 and Icon UCA for 30k miles they are incredible. I spent two weeks in Titan rental recently and could not believe how nice my truck drove when I got it back. Firm yet excellent dampening.

If anyone wants to buy the tires and rims... They are sitting here.

Those are good looking stock rims. Good thing you are far away and I'm a little pinched financially at the moment ?
