Ford has announced factory leveller kits for both the 2019 Ford Ranger and F-150 (going back to 2015) which includes Fox suspension and improves both approach and rampover angles.
Ford’s new leveller kit for the 2019 Ford Ranger and F-150 sees the front-end raised by two-inches to level out the vehicles, which improves, on the Ranger, approach and rampover angles by 22% and 10%.
“Ford Performance Parts developed these kits to make the off-road experience even better for our Ranger and F-150 customers,” said Eric Cin, global director, Ford Vehicle Personalisation and Accessories. “Truck customers are asking for options for increased capability and customisation, and the new levelling suspension kits for Ranger and F-150 deliver on that need.”
The US-only dealer-installed off-road levelling kits for Ranger and F-150 include:
- New aluminium FOX shock bodies are designed to provide ample cooling capacity over rough terrain;
- New front coil-over springs deliver optimal spring rate;
- Vehicle-specific upper front mounts with polyurethane bushings work to help isolate noise and vibration; and
- two-inch front lift levels the truck from front to rear.
According to Ford, “development and testing for the levelling kits included high-speed off-roading in Borrego, California, and low-speed rock-crawling in Arizona to optimize for a variety of off-road driving experiences”.
“The elevated off-road geometry, paired with Ford Performance tuning, makes this a really unique offering,” said Cin. “The secret sauce to this kit is in the Ford Performance tuning. This suspension and its tuning are designed to improve off-road handling and responsiveness, specifically for Ranger and F-150.”
