[Mike Shaw]

looking at a 2024 Ranger 4x4 XLT v6
I would like to upgrade the shocks to FX4 shocks or after market one like Bilstien 5100 . I don’t see a listing for the Bilstiens , 2024 V6 .
dont want any lift ……so where can I get them or what are my options ?

You'll have better luck getting answers on the R6G site. This one is for Rangers 2019-2023.

There's no one over there...that's why OP's asking for advice from us...?

OP, I'm guessing the chassis/suspension design is essentially the same...if true, try Eibach Pro Lift...you don't have to "lift"...just replace the FX4 struts... but the four dampers are quiet solid...I've been on my original set with over 130K miles...no, I don't do Baja or air jumps...

True, it's a morgue over there.

Yes, the Eibach were great on my 19 and if/when I replace mine I'll most likely go that route again..

no, I don't do Baja or air jumps...

Liar! ?

A ford dealer parts department told me that the shocks are different from 23 to 24 V6

I'd be inclined to try the Bilstein or other legit aftermarket websites directly to see if they have something already engineered for such a new truck.

Believe it or not, @AzScorpion is actually right for once (yall write this down), as none of us here have what you have so we don't know past just guessing if anything like you're looking for will fit.

Good luck, and let us know what your search turns up!

For once.....Must I remind you that it's twice?

This thread and the damper thread.

Methinks you overestimate thyself ?

ICON makes universal shocks both with or without reservoirs. I'm running a Stage 3 kit on mine and love the reservoir rear shocks.

Agree 100%. I put the Eibach Pro Truck on my 2022 FX4 with 12k miles and they are far smoother on fire roads and handle better than OEM. Worth every penny. FWIW, I lifted the front one notch for 3/4" and it looks great. Still has a forward rake, just not as extreme.

Maybe it is something you have done already, but have you contacted Bilstein directly to see if they already have something in the pipeline that hasn't made it to the online information?

I would said a message to stage3. they should be able to help. also I second the eibach option. Bilsteins can be a bit stiff when empty imo. the eibachs are said to be in between them and the fox shocks(softest). another option if you can find some take offs from a used 5g tremor those are really great non height adjustable shocks.

LOL I have been maybe a foot in the air, I am keeping my cheap ass Rough Country, it treats me right in most all situations, yes its a little stiff for day to day Walfart runs ....
