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.
