THE RIGHT SUSPENSION RIDE & LIFT FOR YOUR RANGER
THE RIGHT SUSPENSION RIDE & LIFT FOR YOUR RANGER
Setting up suspension to suit your needs, on your Ford Ranger, is about more than just installing a ‘lift kit’. Rangers are used for all types of different duties from the daily trade vehicle, weekend warrior, outback tourer, family caravan hauler or boat tower. To get the best ride and performance from your Next Generation Ranger, it’s important to choose the right suspension. At Ironman 4×4 we have a huge range of suspension and lift kit options, to ensure you get a fit that is just right for your Ford Ranger Next Gen.
SPRING SELECTION
Getting the right spring is mission critical, as the springs will determine how your Next Gen Ranger sits on the road; its rake, and also how it carries the overall weight of your vehicle so that it can support heavy loads.
Within our spring selection range for Ford Ranger Next Generation we have solutions for:
JUST LIFT
Lighter Rangers, with bigger tyres
HEAVY FRONT
Fitted with Bull Bar, Winches & Driving Lights
HEAVY REAR
Fitted with Canopies, Long Range Fuel Tanks and Rooftop Tents
TOWING VEHICLES
Carrying light, medium and heavy ball weights
Given the importance of selecting the right suspension spring, we encourage you to drop in to talk with your local Ironman 4×4 store.

NO COMPROMISE – THE EXTRA LEAF
Rear leaf springs come in leaf packs, each rated to a weight range; for example, 200kg – 400kg. However, sometimes this spring might not feel quite right for a vehicle carrying closer to 400kg, yet the next largest leaf pack might feel too firm.
For this reason, we have introduced the Extra Leaf, a singular leaf that can be added to any leaf pack for that little bit of ‘extra’ weight carrying capacity.

VALVING OPTIONS
Choices, choices, choices. While it might all sound a bit overwhelming – all this choice will result in a Ford Ranger Next Generation that rides and handles like no other!
In each range of rear shock absorber to suit the Next Gen Ford Ranger, (Nitro Gas, Foam Cell, Foam Cell Pro) customers can further refine their ride by choosing one of the following three valve tunes:
COMFORT
The comfort valved shocks are usually best matched to Ford Rangers with a lighter rear axle weight. The comfort valving ensures the spring can ride smoothly.
PERFORMANCE
Our performance valved shocks are perfect for mid-range weight vehicles, sitting between the 200 – 600kg constant load, and are valved specifically to match our springs in this range.
PROFESSIONAL
For our customers who are close to GVM and above, we recommend the use of our Professional valved shock absorbers, to ensure the extra load is managed seamlessly.

VIBRATION MANAGEMENT
Lifting your Next Gen Ford Ranger has the potential to introduce or magnify elements of existing drive-line vibration. As such, all Ironman 4×4 suspension and lift kits to suit the Ford Ranger Next Generation include a spacer kit to minimise drive-line vibration in lifted vehicles so you can enjoy a smooth off-road experience.
