I have been running air shocks for a few years, looked this stuff up for a future replacement. Monroe made a shock that fit, though I did space it away from the axle as far as I could at the bottom mount. I was concerned with the clearance of the air bag and the CV boot clamp, so spaced it over a bit with a washer and cut the rubber bushing down a bit. I have ran them at least four years in the old Ranger and now in the X. Monroe has been great about listing their shock by mounting type and length. The charts are online and I used them to match-up shocks for my old lifted Bronco. I found less expensive shocks that fit this way and worked great in a crawler, not a basher/high speed rig where more dampening and an off road shock is needed.
This is what I came-up with after matching mounts and size. The stock fronts are listed below and then the Max Air Adjustable I found to match.

The Max Air's compress shorter and importantly, extend further for a Torsion bar crank! I put the lower rated F torsion bars in the Ranger and swore it road a bit better. I am going to do that with this X. It will ride softer and yet one can adjust the ride!
The MA 776 is great for those sagging rear springs or wasted stock air shocks.
