Built for 1983–1997 Ford Ranger 4WD owners who want a level stance and aggressive ground clearance, this 4-inch lift kit raises the front to match the rear for a flush, factory-finished look. Rough Country's combination of lifted coil and leaf springs—paired with radius arm and I-beam drop brackets—maintains proper caster geometry and preserves driveability, so your Ranger rides and handles like stock, just taller. You'll safely fit 33–35-inch tires with proper wheel backspacing.

What's included
- Lifted coil springs (front) — raise the front axle while preserving ride quality and geometry.
- Radius arm and I-beam drop brackets — correct caster angle to maintain factory handling and prevent tire wear or steering issues after the lift.
- Lifted leaf springs (rear, qty 2) — increase ride height at the rear for a level stance.
- U-bolts — secure the rear axle to the leaf springs.
- Power steering pitman arm — restore proper steering geometry after the front is lifted.
- N3 shock pair (front and rear) — premium 10-stage variable nitrogen-charged shocks tuned for smooth highway ride and off-road composure, featuring a 18mm spring-loaded piston rod and 54mm shock body for durability and heat dissipation.
- Hardware kit — all fasteners and mounting components needed for installation.
Important notes
- Does NOT fit manual-steering models — power steering is required.
- Does NOT fit 1987–1988 models equipped with the "High Rider STX" package.
- If your Ranger is equipped with a front sway bar, drop brackets are recommended to maintain suspension geometry.
- Proper wheel backspacing is critical when fitting 33–35-inch tires — verify offset and backspacing before purchase.
