Ford the first time ever, Ford Performance Parts is offering a factory approved two-inch leveling kits for their latest pickup trucks – the new Ford F-150 and the Ford Ranger.
Ford F-150
This is basically a two-inch leveling kit for the front suspension that is a dealer-installed option. The kit is available for any four-wheel-drive 2019 Ford Ranger or 2015-2019 Ford F-150 4×4. This kit does not have its own special name, it’s not a rumored F-150 Tremor package. However, it uses aluminum body FOX shocks and special suspension tuning done by Ford.
As the name implies, the kit levels the front to back height of the 4×4 trucks. Ford says the new kit gives the F-150 crew cab (145-inch wheelbase) a 22% improvement in approach angle and a 7% improvement of breakover angle. This should enable the truck to go further over rough terrain.
Ford did not say that a larger diameter tire could be fitted to go along with this lift, or what a maximum tire diameter can be. This is solely a suspension leveling kit.
The kit price is $1,495 before the dealer installation. The kit comes with Ford Performance Parts limited warranty.
Ford Ranger
The new Ford Ranger can benefit from the a two-inch leveling kit like this as well. The pricing and warranty are the same.
Ford says the lift provides the Ranger with a 21% increase of approach angle and a 10% improvement in breakover angle.
