The one they sell. My local ford dealer sells lifts for rangers, my father-in-law got one and had them install it.

Using forscan you can zero out the settings once you've completed the lift. You can also adjust tire circumference for correcting the speedometer. Works perfectly.

I've read that you should re-calibrate the cameras after a lift. Some do; some don't. But PLEASE adjust your headlights.
The headlamps on my 2025 do not require adjustment. Upon startup they go through a leveling process....you can see them moving around on garage wall, etc. It is nice if you are towing or have a heavy payload...you won't be blinding other drivers. Not sure about 2024's.

Ford World sells the Old Man EMU suspension kits for the Ranger on their site.

I would buy the BP 51 shocks and struts. I have no need for a Desert Racer like a Raptor.
The open valve system is set up for slower off roading.

I think that feature is Lariat and Raptor.

Auto level doesn't mean that they shouldn't be realigned. They're designed to not shine in the eyes of on-coming drivers and when you lift the truck, even if the lights are level, they are shining higher and farther than they did before the lift.

The system is designed to adjust the "alignment" of the headlamps. I used the word "level" incorrectly. If you place 500 lbs in the bed the system will align the headlamps downward. If you place a 1000 lbs in the bed..the system would align the headlamps even more downward. Empty the bed of all the cargo and n the system will align the headlamps upward to the correct alignment. So level was not correct buy the system is dynamic and will correctly align the headlamps based on the weight/level kit/etc.

I am running into this issue. Manufactures/ Distributors in NA are slow to create or have product available for the 6G. Lot's of product for the 5G Ranger, Bronco's and Mavericks.
Its like the Bilstein Shocks for the new Ranger. Unavailable to NA.
If Ford would have a normal 10 year run of a generation it would help in NA. Seem to go with these mid cycles. Revamp again in 2027.
