That's all they have available for the NA Ranger.

I emailed them last week about if the front struts for the EU/AU market T6 Rangers would be compatible. While not specifically stating if they were or not, they did advise against ordering them mainly for potential warranty claim issues. If the strut(s) were defective then I'd have to work with an overseas vendor and would likely complicate and slow things down. They did say that they plan on having front struts available in the NA market very soon.

Just have to keep waiting for them.

Having run Bilstein's on my last two VW GTI's that were both lowered 1.5" I can say that they performed wonderfully. Put a combined 160K miles on the struts/shocks between the two cars and not a single issue with them at all. Bilstein's do tend to run just a little bit stiffer than OEM, but not so much so that your kidney's take a beating when hitting a pothole.

5100s on front and rear. IMO - Exceptional difference in ride and handling.

What did you set the fronts at for height?
