Ranger Gets Ford Performance Parts Leveling Kits with Coil-overs & Fox Shocks

[Count Desmondo]

I got the Ford levelling kit installed in July and I really like what it did to the ride and looks to the truck. Sold and installed by Steeda Canada.

Did the shop install extended sway bar end links?

Has anyone actually installed this kit on 2WD Ranger?

I don't have the answer to this question, but the results will be the same.

Similar, but not quite. There have been a couple of members that have installed the Fox kits on a 2WD. The nose sits an inch or so higher than the 4WD due to the weight difference in front. They also commented that the ride was stiffer than expected. I believe that is because the 2WD has a lower spring rate, but not positive.

You are probably correct, but is there a significant weight variance? Mine sat higher initially when I got my Fox kit installed, but after half tank of gas, it's settled down.

Apparently, it's enough to make difference. Front axles, cv joints, transfer case, etc. I know that suspension manufacturers recommend going up on spring rates when adding a winch. So I gather these trucks are somewhat sensitive to spring rates.

Here's the spring p/n for the Ford/Fox performance kit. Just had the full kit installed so thought I'd share a pic.
