Built for Ford Ranger 4WD owners who want an aggressive stance with corrected geometry, this 4-inch lift kit raises the front of your vehicle to level with the rear, delivering a flush look and improved ride height. The kit includes lifted coil springs, radius arm and I-beam drop brackets, and premium N3 shocks tuned for both off-road performance and highway comfort. You'll gain ground clearance while maintaining factory-like handling — the radius arm drop brackets preserve proper caster angles that are crucial to driveability.

What's included

  • Lifted coil springs — engineered to raise the front while maintaining ride quality and performance.
  • Radius arm drop brackets — allow for properly set caster to keep factory handling intact.
  • I-beam drop brackets — keep suspension geometry at optimum angles for a factory-like ride.
  • Power steering pitman arm — repositioned to work with the new suspension height.
  • 3-inch lift blocks and U-bolts — fabricated for strength and durability in the rear.
  • N3 shock pair (qty 2) — premium 10-stage variable high-pressure nitrogen-charged shocks with 18mm spring-loaded piston rods and 54mm bodies for smooth highway and off-road performance.
  • Hardware kit — all fasteners and brackets needed for installation.
