probably these:
Front

Rear
http://www.bilstein.com/mistore/prod...pany_id=100484
keep in mind that body lifts do not effect your shocks...
if you put a suspension lift on you'll need new shocks though

5100s are Rancheros, aren't they?
The Bilsteins look pretty good- thanks for the link. I'm gonna get some pricing on them asap. BL coming in the mail in the next couple weeks, and I want to do the shocks at the same time (that's actually what I was going for first, then the BL idea kinda hooked me)...

You don't actually need new shocks to do a body lift.
But if you want to get new shocks, you get the ones that Sad_savant posted. They should just bolt right in. The 5100's would take some fitting and I believe would actually give you more lift. I don't think they make the 5100's in a stock form for the Ranger. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I believe you could get the 7100's in a size that is close to the stock shock, but it takes custom mounting I believe. I know someone on here put 7100's on their Ranger. Can't remember his name and don't wanna use the search button right now. Haha..
As for Ranchos I've never even looked at them so I don't know much about them. Sorry.

With a body lift and factory 4x4 suspension, you don't want 5100's or 7100's. The best Bilsteins for your application are the HD series as shown in Rob's links above. Here are the part numbers again:
Front: BE5-2794
Rear: BE5-2795
These are very similar to the factory installed Blue/Yellow Bilstein shocks on the FX4 Level II.
