ReadyLIFT Bronco level kit installed on 2024 Ranger -- review & tips

[toddiscdn]

This kit fits fine, but I will start this off with some advice- Do NOT use the upper nuts for the "top hat" that are supplied by Ready lift, they are a shit lock nut and the stud closest to the engine will spin out its splines as it doesnt have spring under it to hold it, use stock with some locktite or your choice of hardware. Ready lift has some very nicely machined aluminum parts, but their hardware is kinda crap.

Anyway, the under pinnings of the 2 trucks are the same so I took a chance and ordered the Bronco kit before I saw that the 5g ranger stuff seems to fit in this thread https://www.ranger6g.com/forum/thre...-and-ownership-afterthoughts.9512/post-162378


So most if not all (non raptor) bronco stuff should fit, this is the kit I ordered, I had an 1.25 on my 5G ranger and this is about the same, I like to still have a bit of rake as I tow some things. https://www.readylift.com/ford-bronco-2021-2024-1-25-leveling-kit.html It went on fine other than the afore mentioned nuts, used the Bronco instructions, with the only difference being that the sway bar is different on the Bronco, Ranger instructions from the above kit might be more precise.

No Pics, yet, but I think it will settle between 1.25 and 1.75 inches and Im happy with the results, now I need to get an alignment done.

Cheers, Todd

If this kit works for the 2024 model, would something like the Fox 2.0 currently available for the 2019-2023 fit as well? obviously that is a whole suspension system and not just a spacer, just wondering though since the bolts and mounting points appear to have the same dimensions as the previous gen.

It certainly seems that way, but you never know until someone gives it a try or the manufacturer confirms that it also fits the 24.

Any pictures with the level kit on yet?

Ya, finally got a couple, pretty hard to tell from pic.s, grounds not likely level and the front looks a bit higher than it is, still has enough rake that it should be fairly level towing.

That looks Great! Nice work!

If this is true its sure going to speed up the aftermarket parts availability for our Rangers. I wonder if the underbody armor fits.

Did you get an alignment done? And if so, was it out of spec at all after adding the leveling kit? That is such a small amount (1.25" kit) that I wonder if it affects the alignment at all.

 

[toddiscdn]

Yes, alignment done, it was definitely necessary, you could visually see that the camber was off. As you said not a lot on a small level(ended up closer to 1.5") but was needed none the less.

Well, I finally got out for a test tow before next weekends camping and Id say thats about the right amount of lift for me, she sits pretty much even with the A-frame in tow. Looks like a bit of squat in the pic, but shes pretty much bang on, tongue weight +/- 400lbs

Looks good.

Nice, this is what I was looking for. The 5G had an extreme rake with the ass end too high. Even though I have RWD, I had the dealer add a level kit before I took ownership of my '21. I have yet to see a '24 model IRL in any detail, so was wondering about before and after rake.

I have installed the Ford Fox Performance “Leveling kit” on my ‘24 XLT FX4. All parts and pieces fit perfectly. I netted 0” of lift/level. All suspension manufacturers I have viewed on the web are saying’19 to ‘24 except Raptor are same. I installed this kit on July 4 and am still waiting for a response from Ford. I have been in contact with a Ford performance technical assistant. He has not been very helpful, blaming engineers for not getting back to him. So much for upgrading from a puck to a system. Very disappointed with Ford Performance customer service at this point.

Aren't those adjustable? Did you change the preload for increased height?
It's confusing as the install instructions to tell how to adjust, and the description says adjustable, but then says adjustment not recommended and void warranty.

I'm looking into purchasing this kit for my 2024 ranger as well. Just curious if you noticed a change in fuel mileage?
