4 Inch Lift Kit Install || Is it really that hard?

Thanks Sam, 100% next upgrade to my Ranger

[@cherubman3052]

A lot of dual-cab utes now have that bent-down second stage in the leaf springs for ride comfort. The weight of the vehicle definitely won't bend those override leafs haha.

[@rudedogii]

The ARB Dakar springs are very similar in design. I thought I was the only one that caught that. Good catch!

[@bluecollarstudio8513]

Awesome video. I wish shops on the US paid that much attention to spring rates as much as you all do in Oz and S Africa. They do a generic lift, stiff shocks and springs then send you bouncing down the highway.

[@bush2coast801]

Been using Malaga Suspensions for 3 years now, work and Offroad... Toms' the Man !

[@TimH767]

AT 6:38 you describe the rear spring as bent - Rangers come like that from the factory (I have a 2020.75 and it's never been overloaded and mine are like that). You can actually flip that inverted leaf over to increase the weight capacity if carrying a heavy load regularly, as a poor man's upgrade to the stock springs. Good video though, very informative.

[@ryanmajor2995]

Would love to see a walk around of this rig!

[@acafwd]

Could you do an uninstall video as well... You know ... for us Queenslanders who will have to take it off as it is too high ;-P . ?

[@shockflyyer3d]

Pff mate ive been running a 100mm lift in my patrol in brisbane here for a long time. been pulled over a bunch and never a head turned. you'll be right.

[@wikkidme755]

It’s more about insurance than what we can get away with on the road. If ya right it off and they can measure the height they won’t pay up.

[@Minigoat_92]

@@wikkidme755 Not to mention if you have an at fault accident, they can (potentially rightfully so, depending on the work done and quality) state the suspension changes had something to do with causing the accident. In that case, you lose all cover and the full cost of medical and property damage is passed on to the driver.

Thanks for reminding me why I don't own any ifs vehicles.

[@MikeIllusion92]

Nice video man, love the action shots of the Rangie!

[@000carpets]

Would not recommend removing the stock spring from the shockie like that. Use the correct spring compressor. My apprentice did it your way to save time and the shock shot 20 meters down the workshop.

[@SpiritSpeedWorks]

Almost certain you all installed the rear shocks upside down. They might be easier to adjust the other way and the stock orientation is with the body on the axle side. Should work no worries! Wish we had diesel Rangers here in the states...

Bloody intro… almost spilt my coffee

[@veneratedmortal4369]

1 you can't balance a shaft to a diff.. 2 get spring compressors they are about 50.

[@brendandarroch798]

Your typical spring compressors will not work for 4wd heavy rated springs, they bend and its dodgy as fuck, better off using a professional suspension mob for that part

[@mallo_man95]

Hey bud love the videos, keep up the good work. Are you able to tell me what exhaust your brother has in his ford ranger?

[@Powelly090]

Hey Sam , What does your brother think of the superior shocks after having them for awhile?

[@karldadson668]

Are you able to tell me the extended length of the rear shocks? Or the part number for them?

[@jeffo1017]

How do you get an engineers certificate for it? Because the max without a certificate is 2 inches. Do you just go in and they verify it’s safe or is it more complicated?

[@jeffo1017]

Sam Eyles Keeping it legit Love your work

[@markmarkmark03]

Hey mate, great vid. I want to know how the ezy lift spacer on the rear leaf springs was while on the vehicle?

[@dad3562]

So that diff drop bracket you cut off. Well I hit that in a rock and it caved the front of the diff bracket in. Are there any serious issues that happen later with denting that bracket in? I don’t feel any vibrations at all and I can’t tell if it moved the diff or anything. Safe to say the front plate to the bracket caved in without actually moving my diff?

[@baileymckenny7837]

Can you get any more Australian aha Working on your brothers car, in your back garage, using a millk crate as a seat and started by wearing ugg boots ahah

On the rear is it a 2 inch leaf with 2 inch shackle?

[@peterbarber7613]

all you need to do now is learn how to pull springs apart correctly and put them together

[@marcusbarnes5929]

I was told that with the superior remote res lift kit for the 2021 ford ranger PX3 ford does not need a diff drop when going 3 inch lift. What are your thoughts?

Hi BnB, a Question about the size on of the rear lift block pin if you know, is it a 9/16" pin? (14.3mm)?

[@woondoon4x4adventures36]

Hey mate what brand diff drop did you use ?

[@jakecummings243]

What's been done to the exhaust setup exactly? Sounds much better than factory, And also any tuning been done to the engine?

[@6226superhurricane]

tighten all pivot points (control arms,spring and shock bushes) after it is back on the ground at ride height. otherwise it will ride like shit and destroy bushes. you probably did that but didn't point it out on the vid for newbies.

[@andrewnicol708]

fkn love your work Sam!

[@seniraweerasingha6534]

when you lift a vehicle, the cross bar angle is changed which is from gear box to differential. Is it harmful for the cross joint?

Hey Sam! I had malaga suspensions install a 3 inch lift kit (Dobinsons IMS) into my 2017 ranger XLT about 2 months ago. My ride feels super firm though, especially at the rear. Is there a way to soften it up a bit without replacing the springs? Cheers mate.

[@fletcherhenery3222]

Hey man not too sure if your questions been answered but you should be about to adjust the damper settings on the front for a softer ride, as for the rear leafs are preset to carry a constant static load ie: 300kgs or such, only solution for that is a lower rated leaf spring

So how was the test drive after the upgrade? I've got an Everest I'm looking to upgrade the suspension on. I've seen this kit online but I know nothing about the brand.

[@TheJanope13]

Always loved these px2 onward rangers. I thought they looked neat despite what these old dinosaurs say about being all plastic. My gu is getting a bit long in the tooth and been eyeing these out. Don't do that much off roading due to work anymore and the fuel savings and power of these would be nice to have. Bet its more capable than my patrol too seeing as they have factory rear diff locks. Would love to see this in an offroad video.

[@steeleheraud3496]

Spring compressors are about $20 man ;)

[@adammitchell9404]

Not much downward wheel travel in the front end seems to be a bit of a waste

[@jaybajan]

question mate, spacers are bd ? i dont go off road hardcore like you would.

[@wallaceweir8227]

Do you think its worth doing the lower control arms as well?

[@henningkock4436]

So no stiffer anti-roll bar?

[@LukeMitchley]

5:05 Shock and Horror:)

[@Blakerobby18]

What about the cvs won’t they be on a mad angle should they be straight?

[@ChrisJohnson-vm1su]

The CV axles connect to the front differential which he lowered with a diff drop. The axle itself can handle quite a bit of movement because when you go offroad they're never really straight. All you need to look out for are the cups/boots on the ends of the axle because these can tear, dropping the diff should prevent that from happening though.

Hey sam what are your thoughts on the new ranger raptor? Do you think it will beat the previous 3.2L ranger?

[@davidfarrington5545]

G’day mate I’ll be honest we had the rangers for work and got rid of the lot (15 of them) due to the fact that their engines and gear boxes are rubbish. We had 2 that blew engine between 40,000km and 50,000km. Gear boxes would just give out. We had 3 of them go into the workshop 5 times each in a week. I was fuming. Raptor been a smaller engine than the states, means I’d be very query about it. At work we went back to cruiser and for the dual cabs we now use dmaxs. One of the dmaxs has 575,00 on the clock and honestly still feels great to drive. I’d personally stay away from Hollywood cars like rangers and raptors and stick with the provens Toyota Isuzu. After all Isuzu make trucks. All the best mate 👍
