At more than 3 times the price they are not 3 times better. SPC is a long time provider to the lifted crowd and to the racing community so their products are tested and proven. Go to their website for a more in depth look at the company before you make any judgements. In this industry more...

I just went and looked at my stock ride height 2WD Ranger. The UCAs are almost parallel to the ground. This would indicate that any extreme movement up or down would pull the wheels in towards the inner fender. If you can imagine the suspension travel from very compressed to very extended, at...
I think these can get you where you need to be. Lifted trucks have the same camber problems as lowered ones. They are adjustable UCA and at $630 might be able to be combined with the Belltech kit to achieve the desired lowering at a much more acceptable cost than the Freak $2000 front...
When looking at the price difference remember the Santa Cruz Limited comes completely loaded with some items not even available on the Maverick even as options. I have a 2021 Santa Fe Calligraphy with the 2.5 Turbo and in sport mode it is certainly a match for my 2019 Ranger. So the Hyundai...
I was looking at your pics and I noticed the steering arms have an acute upward angle. In the past when setting up rack and pinion steering arms the idea was to have the arms parallel to the lower control arms or at least the ground at ride height. The lack of this is known to create bump...
It would appear that Belltech has released a lowering front strut for 2019 and up Rangers. If you go to the website it describes it in detail along with installation instructions. It can provide up to 2.8" of drop but for 4wd applications there are some caveats. None for 2wd installs except...
Pretty much my sentiments. I am amazed at the lack of aftermarket support this truck has. Unless you're into the monster truck appearance mode there is little one can do. Until I can get a credible lowering kit I will refrain from spending another dime on my Ranger in the aftermarket. My...
I used the trailer wiring test plug to disable ASS. Harbor Freight, $4.00. The reason it is disabled with trailer is you need to be able to accelerate from a stop quickly like when making a left turn into traffic and the trailer confuses the sensors. This however disabled the cross traffic...
My son who has a Colorado ZR2 did a 4" lift and went from a 31" tire to a 34" tire. The truck looks pretty cool and he loves taking it to Moab for rock crawling. Unfortunately, on the highway with the V6 powertrain it went from a slug compared to my Ranger to an absolute rolling turd. The...
I emailed these companies and this is the response to a Ranger lowering kit.
From McGaughy's
Unfortunately, I do not think we have any plans to make a kit for the Rangers.

I don't think that the dealer has as much profit in the Ranger as this forum would have you believe. Other than holdback which is about 3% there may be 5% off list that is initial dealer cost. Out of that he has to give the salesman something in the way of commission. These people who say...
Yet here we are mid January and Belltech won't even respond to emails about an alleged pending new product. Seems to me to speak volumes about keeping their ear to market. If they were paying even a little attention and saw this much banter trying to look for a new source of a product they had...
If Belltech would answer emails that would be great but they have not uttered a word directly to the forum in over a year or actually ever. I think we have been getting lip service from them all along. It keeps the hope alive until when or if a product really comes to market. If someone from...
I would look to DJM, McGaughys and Hotchkiss as I think they are as experienced as Belltech, have been around the longest and are legitimate players in the industry. That said we must make a commitment to them, and more than just "I will probably buy this" to induce them to move forward. This...
I contacted Belltech back in mid December and as I figured received no response. I got an email announcing the lowering kit for 2015 F-150, a little late to the party but they must be doing something. They blame COVID for the lack of response. Since their area is mostly on lockdown it may be...
I would look at a 1/16" aluminum panel and mount it with 3M double sided mounting tape. If you get both surfaces clean and wax and oil free it won't be going anywhere regardless of weather and will be insulated from the factory painted surface and no screws will penetrate the finish giving a...
