Ford Ranger Suspension Lift Kits
83-97 2WD Ranger
| Lifting the front of an
Independent Front Suspension Ford more
than 2" requires new coils, lowering the two-piece axle and
correcting the caster angle as well as adding a dropped pitman
arm. Some manufacturers go even further offering extended radius
arms rather than drop brackets for factory arms. In 1998 Ford
scrapped the two-piece front axle in favor of a torsion bar setup
similar to that General Motors uses on their 88 and newer
full-size trucks. Check out the kits listed for your particular
vehicle.
|
Note: any 83-97 Ranger to be
lifted 1.5-2" will have alignment problems unless the factory
shims are at or near zero degrees. Verify what's on your truck prior
to purchase. Otherwise, a minimum of 4" of lift will be required in
order to achieve correct alignment. No lift will be achieved on vehicles
with big block engines.

The difference between a Superlift Standard lift
kit and
a Superunner lift follows. Standard kits
utilize longer radius arm brackets that replace the stock
pieces. The Superunner series
replacement radius arms are considerably longer than
stock offering caster correction and additional benefits.
Using the Superunner
Steering Linkage in addition to the pitman arm lowers the
pivot point of the tie rods close to the axle
halves pivot point and allows the use of new tie
rods that are proportional in length to the axle halves.
The result is steering linkage that is in almost perfect
phase with the suspension, yielding optimum steering
response.
3.5" kits include
coils, all necessary drop bracketry, rear blocks and power steering
pitman arm. 5" kits include same components with additional sway
bar mounting kit. Extended brake lines
strongly recommended for 3.5" & required for 5" lifts. |
