Ford Performance Offers Off-Road Lift Kit for 2019 Ford Ranger and F-150

Trucks are the best-selling vehicles in America, and the Ford F-150 has been king of the hill for some time now. Its baby brother, the Ranger , was recently reintroduced to the North American market. Now, Ford is looking to beef up the off-roading credentials of its non-Raptor F-150 and Ranger. For the first time ever, Ford Performance is offering lift kits on 4WD Ford Ranger and Ford F-150 models. The new Performance Off-Road Leveling Kit With Tuned Suspension essentially borrows suspension tech found on the F-150 Raptor . The dealer-installed option consists of a set of FOX shock bodies that are designed to provide better cooling over rough terrain, an optimized spring rate, unique internal valving for the dampers, and truck-specific upper front mounts with polyurethane bushings to help limit noise and vibrations. According to Ford, Rangers with the lift kit will get an approximate 21-percent increase in approach angle and a 10-percent increase in breakover angle. F-150s with the 145-inch wheelbase see a roughly 22-percent increase in approach angle and 7-percent increase in breakover angle. The kit also levels off the suspension, taking away the 2-inch rake of the standard suspension on both trucks. Ford says the kit, which was developed in tandem with FOX, was tested for both high-speed off-roading and low-speed rock-crawling to optimize it for a variety of off-road driving experiences. The new suspension is compatible with any 2019 4WD Ranger and F-150, and will be made available later this fall. The off-road lift kit retails for $1,495, not including installation costs.
