Ford Performance, which is the high performance division of the Ford Motor Company, is now offering after-market suspension kits for the Ranger and the F-150.

Unfortunately, these upgrades are only available in the USA.

Ford claims it improves the off-road performance and it’s easy to see why when you take a look at the suspension kit.

The Fox kit includes new aluminium shock bodies, new front coilover springs and upper mounts specific to these models. These kits were co-developed by Ford Performance and Fox.

The result is a two-inch lift on both axles. This results in a 21% increase in approach angle, 10% increase in breakover angle.

These kits are offered through Ford’s dealer network and are available for Ranger models from 2019. The cost is, when converted to rand, is a very reasonable R22 000.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
