'97 Sport shock issue

[FHfirefighter]

I tried to order some Rancho 9000XL shocks from 4wheelonline.com. After many phone conversations with them they eventually said that none of their shocks (including the Ranchos and ProComps that people on this board have said they run) would fit my sport. I explained that the Sport is very similar to the standard explorer and other people have used both types of shocks, but in the end they refused to sell me anything.

So, I just want to confirm, there are people on here with Sports using Ranchos and/or ProComps, right? Does anyone have specific part numbers and recommendations on where/what to buy for some good stiff heavy-duty shocks?

Just order them for a standard explorer.

The suspension is exactly the same on the sport as on a four door.

Do yourself a favor and buy from Summit Racing.
