I assume it's completely custom but does anyone know how the Ford Thailand Racing team got their trucks so low?

I know nothing about Thailand racing trucks but in a general sense, dedicated racing vehicles share little to nothing with street going models outside of body. I'm assuming those are either purpose built racing chassis or have been hacked up so extremely that they have little resemblance to a factory truck. 100% chance possibility that I'm wrong though lol.

Yeah, I had a feeling it was a lot like NASCAR where the outside looks like the stock counterpart but the inside is completely custom, I just figured I'd ask on the off chance they're just changing out control arms and adding a four link and I was just missing an easy way out.

Yes, @halligan1201 is 100% correct. When you take off the body panels, this is what you’ll find underneath.

So after hunting around all day I found a video of this truck being discussed, part of it (the description) is in English and part in Thai.

They didn’t get into the suspension a whole lot but still an interesting video and figured it was worth a share to anyone else who might be curious.

when you read about the truck in articles....it started out as a stock Ranger.
shocks, suspension and brake mods were completed as well as roll cage and a tune.

it's not a "Nascar" build and body panels.

The racing chassis' used, are far from stock pieces. The same goes for stock cars. The old build'm, race'm is a long gone scenario. NASCAR vehicles are a case in point. there isn't anything on or in them, save for the name, that has any resemblance to "stock"!

Interesting and cool. The OP may have his wish of getting info on how to slam his truck then.

It looks like a axle flip.
