If it's for the new generation Ranger anything from the new generation Ranger will have no problems fitting. As for the new Bronco I don't think it'll work yet but I'm not sure. It's the joy of the new vehicles.

The real question is what are you trying to achieve?

well I bought lift kit from the US thinking my Ranger was a USA XLT, when the parts came in, I found out that my car was just an XLT by name and it's actually an Austrialian Ford Ranger PX2 with the driver on the left side.

Mechanically talking almost everything is different in size or shape. so now I am stuck with these part in a country that doesn't sell a US made ford ranger. Figured out which cars uses the same rear lift block and strut spacer... it's only the shocks and UCA I am having trouble finding a car that matches them.

Can't send them back because the loss of money on transport is not worth the refund.

If it is possible to mess with the bushing of the shocks to make them fit that would be great, then again, I ain't sure if the distance from the shocks' mounting point are the same in the US and AU version of the car.

so now I am trying to sell the parts to make the money back, got to know which cars it can fit on.

I’m guessing you have a T6 Ranger and not a 5th Gen?

Gotcha so in reality you have a PX series and the only other possible compatible stuff will be from the Everest.

Hi Sam,

Not surprised....The idea is that the vehicle will be the same from country to country is a noble goal but local and regulatory differences can drive changes. And then there is the fire hydrant syndrome where the engineer has to leave his "mark" on the vehicle which drives changes to make things unique... That is the danger of ordering parts for a US Ranger and finding out you have a ROW Left hand drive Ranger....Not the same animal...

You need to go back to the part seller for what Rangers these parts fit...

Best.
Phil
