I've always heard about the 10ft in reverse rule... never really understood it fully, but I always do it just in case...

You can shift in and out of 4hi on the fly.  as long as you are going under 25 and arent on the gas it will shift flawlessly.  To go into 4lo put the truck in neutral and shift into 4 lo then put the truck into gear.

Yes, I believe AVM makes a set for the 98+ Rangers
