If that part is still available through Ranger, you would only need to provide your hull number when calling a dealer or Ranger Parts. If you have a good Autozone or similar nearby, though, they carry a variety of lengths and strengths. Measure from the mounting areas when the lid is at the proper angle—not difficult—and pick out what seems best from the auto store. In and out in a few minutes, and if you decide when mounting that longer or shorter would be better, they’ll let you exchange. Would also save you a chunk of shipping.
