i've got one you can use if you end up coming this way.. guess that isn't helping ya though

why do you need a floor jack for this?

He sent me up here to tell ^you that he don't know how to do it without one. If you know of a better way, call him and explain it to him over the phone. He's not coming up stairs for a while, hes cleaning the garage and messing with his truck.

he should be able to just slide under the rear of the truck and remove the bolts, no need for a jack. it might be under a slight bit of tension, but nothing you should be able to easily compress or expand the shock as needed by hand. the springs support the truck, not the shocks.[Edited on September 25, 2008 at 6:56 PM. Reason : also, you need to replace them in pairs not just one at a time... i.e. both rears/both fronts/all 4]

I've got a jack and some jack stands you can use, but you'll have to come pick them up off Kaplan. I've got some ramps if that's easier for you.

i win

^ the jack did make it easier to fit under the truck, but I guess bbr did win. Thanks stephen, I needed the help since im sort of "handicapped" right now. LOL. The next step is paint and body work. Anyone know where to find a right front quarter panel and passenger door for a 93 ranger? And I need someone to spray the truck for me, or let me borrow, rent a spray gun. Im painting it o d green. Already done most of the body work, sanding, dent pulling, and priming.

there was a truck salvage yard off of gresham lake rd a while back. i think they've moved. not sure where they are now. i picked up a tailgate for an 80s S10 there.your best bet is probably junk yards. or ebay.or certifit if you're gonna end up painting it
