Application

For 1998-2011 Ford Ranger 2WD Models with Front Coil Springs Suspensions

4WD models are Torsion Bar Suspensions, Will NOT fit

Description

Lift Height: 3 inch Front + 1-2 inch Rear

Spacer Thickness: 1.89 inch (48 mm)

Material: Steel

Package Included: 2x Spring Spacers + 2x Lift Shackles

Note: With an independent suspension, the amount of lift can be significantly greater than the thickness of the lift spacer.

Calculating the amount of lift to expect for an independent suspension application can be a little less straightforward. Independent suspension designs typically consist of at least one control arm, the inside of which is secured to the frame while the outside is attached to the wheel. It is supported by a spring or strut mounted someplace between the wheel and the frame. Suspension travel is accomplished by the control arm pivoting at the point where it is mounted to the frame. Since the wheel is mounted farther from the control arm pivot than the strut is, it experiences a longer travel than the strut does. For example, installing a 1.5” thick strut spacer on independently suspended vehicles can act as 3” lift kits.

What are Lift Kit?
Lift kits are aftermarket enhancements that you can install to lift your vehicle further off the ground.
With a suspension lift kit, you’ll lift up the entire vehicle, from the wheels/axles on up. Suspension lift kits for trucks are installed in a variety of ways, depending upon the vehicle and the kit, with the installation process more complex than with a body kit.
At its simplest, the kits lift up the vehicle. After installing a kit, you can add monster tires, which allow you to navigate off-road and on rough roads with much more finesse.
With a suspension kit, you’ll also benefit from enhanced suspension when accelerating or braking as the kit prevents body squat.

Installation

1.Unbolt both sway bar end links.
2.Unbolt the ABS | Brake line bracket from the axle on both sides
3.Unclip the wire guide at the module on the axle.
4.Support axle with an adjustable jack, then unbolt both front shocks from either end.
5.Lower down the jack and remove each coil.
6.Spray some lubricant on the isolator where it will contact the coil and reinstall the coil with the spacer on top. Make sure both the coil spacer and coil seat properly.
7.Jack the axle up and reattach sway bar, and brake line bracket

8.Our rear shackle kits are one of the fastest and easiest ways to change the rear ride height of your vehicle. Lift the rear of the vehicle off the ground, support the axle, and simply swap out your stock shackles with our new shackles.
