I've tried to do some searching; guess air & gas are way to common words!
SO I just replaced the front shocks, now the body looks tilted, to the rear. And when I put any weight in the rear it sags pretty easily (or so I think, maybe the ranger is just a weak payload?) ie when loaded with about 200#'s at the tailgate end, you can visually see a dip, maybe 2-3" I didn't measure. It's not dragging, or bottoming out/hitting any hard stops, just looks sad.
I don't plan on ever loading a huge payload, or towing alot, in the future I see yard cleanup ie tree branches, trunks, etc. a few hundred pounds, maybe toting my 12' flatbed around the yard to load up with the same. A couple hundred pounds of softener salt, sand for traction, etc. (Any big job I'll use the 5.4 Expy!)
So i'd prefer ride quality first. It looks like gas & air pair for the rear are about the same price. Should I get air to help the loads, and run on the lower side until I need the help. or get gas, and eventually get the $$ for leafs/ leaf helpers?
