Got defected the other day by sunny coast road command for my 80 series 5inch lift on 33s, 6 grand down the drain.. Careful boyz there back on the street hunting for lifted trucks again. Good luck with the 35s.
That rubber/plastic air dam is to attempt to redirect air around the sides of the vehicle rather than underneath, to improve aerodynamics and reduce fuel consumption.
What lift is that? What kit exactly. Also, is the lift useful for off-road? Meaning do the struts improve off-road or is it for looks? Subscribed that was a fun watch.
For anyone watching. Don't get the black paint rustproofing, it is shithouse. Gets on threads and holds moisture ect. You need to coat it all with lanotec or something similar. Do it once a year, works mint
TJ Jack haha you built this whole #Navlife community around Prestons Nav. Only to swap it for a Ranger. Hahahahaha (disclosure) the Ranger does look pretty bloody good. KONE must be treating him well 😂🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
You know you can use a jack under the lower control arm to compress the spring then undo the top hat, let the jack down, but the new strut and spring in then jack it back up and do the top hat up to the new strut 🤔
TJ Jack I’ve done it a few times now when lowering a car but obviously the new springs are shorter so it goes back together nicer, if you were putting lifted springs in then I guess maybe try extend the shock out as much as possible first? 🤷🏻♂️ the first bit of compression is relatively easy to get so I think she’ll be right 🤣
@@mitchellrobinson9810 if you were an apprentice in my workshop I would give you the arse, if you have ever seen a spring under load go off you would never even consider pulling that stupid shit
I’am a bit confused, what shocks did you put in, are they standard two inch with the top hat from factory, or are they 4” shocks with the factory top hat?
Sir what changes did you do to accommodate those tires and rims i have a 2020 Ranger XLT with leveling kit and i want to upgrade my rims and tires especially the size you have rocks
Hey man, I've got the 2021 fx4 and want to do a 3.5inch lift and level, but alot of people are saying it creates alot of problems. Just wanted to ask if you guys have encountered any problems after the lift.
You’d probably get away with it on the street, but a soon as you put any flex on it off road you more than likely will start breaking CV’s. Usually do a diff drop with 4” lift to lessen the angles
No worries. Was just wondering because I’ve just bought the exact same front struts for my 2018 Ranger and an still undecided on what to put in the back 😩😩
@@TJANDMAC i have an iron man 2 in lift on my 2012 ranger and its a bitch to aligne( always shredding the outer side of the tyre . they might have change something between 2012 and 2020
If it’s like the Fox strut assemblies I put on a couple of F150s it’s in the instructions and on the shock itself. I just helped a friend put the Rough Country N3s on his 2020 F150 XLT SuperCab FX4, 5.0. It was slick. We put the 1” spacer in the rear as well, there is ever so slight of a front rake that looks perfect, surprisingly it is comparable in ride as my 2021 F150 with the Roush/Fox 2.0 remote reservoir suspension kit.I have about 2.75 inches up front and stock out back. It runs level. I won’t know about off-road until I heal up from back surgery. I was the moral support and drinks buddy! Hahaha. Oh yeah, they used my lift as well. This is in Canada. I heard a very sweet sounding diesel in that Ranger,,,,,,, we get one choice in Canada. 2.3 EcoBoost with the 10 speed and 4x4. I had a 2019 and it was great, but I just prefer the interior room of a full size truck. Our trails we run are designed around full size pickups as well. If I go to public trails, it gets much harder!! So many Jeep’s and mid size trucks that the ruts are too narrow! Generally. Nice truck!! It looks like a couple of inches are needed out back, (that’s what SHE said) but that’s a personal thing. It works fine as is!!
Does it make a sound when going through bumps? I lift 1inch and make a noise like a click when running on bumps and dont know if the sway bar is touching the lower arm or what could be the problem of it is normal to hear that noise on bumps
we tried however in the PX3 (2020 or newer) its no longer possible due to ford increasing the size of the shock mounts. If you lift it and then add the diff drop the cv boots hit the new mount...
@@TJANDMAC i didn't know that.... then you guys should try some portal axles it keep cv angel low bt lift up everything else.....😁 btw you guys are doing awesome videos keep it up.....🙂
@@TJANDMAC Hi mate about to get my hands on a 2020 ranger, I’m looking at doing a 3-4” lift and I couldn’t find a diff drop for the px3 anywhere. Just wondering if Mack has broken cvs due to not having one and also have you guys had any luck in finding one that will fit. Cheers
@@williamtownsend6675 hi Will , the front locker really helps not break the CV in my opinion, he never has broken one and driven some extreme tracks 🤯 so prob not entirely necessary for PX3 Definitely not possible anyway 💁♂️

Out of interest what vehicle pulled you over ?
@@TJANDMAC Hey mate swy 4 late reply ova Fiji holidaying.... It was a blue road command car... 1 point 133 bucks.
@@straightouttayandina4104 just get your car engineered and never have to worry about it again. simple shit really.
That was fun to watch TJ. Mac’s right arm sure has some strength. Tell him he needs to rotate his hands just like tyres.
haha definitely
That rubber/plastic air dam is to attempt to redirect air around the sides of the vehicle rather than underneath, to improve aerodynamics and reduce fuel consumption.
that would make sense haha
@@TJANDMAC still looks heaps better without it
Was that difficult to take off? Or just a few bolts or what? Thanks!
@@Dbrow1982 yeah couple of bolts and off it comes
Now I know how to put a lift in my ranger, haha. Awesome vid bro. 🤘🏼
ahh nice one !
Notification bell rings and you find an episode of shed life uploaded. Yeah, I'll start work in 10. Sweet looking ride. Great video as always.
haha thats the way mate ! thanks :)
Looks great, So your only lifting the front up by 4” back stays stock?
That ball joint jump scare though....
got him
What lift is that? What kit exactly.
Also, is the lift useful for off-road? Meaning do the struts improve off-road or is it for looks?
Subscribed that was a fun watch.
Yeah boy!!!! Keen to see the collabs with Sam
he does have the worlds best shed in the making... haha

Truck is going to be a monster bud! What shocks are you running up front, looks like Bilsteins?
Bilsteins painted black
Mac Preston trying to figure out the model is from the Bilstein range
Looks great 👍🏻
Was the back lifted at this point or did you just do the front with a 4 inch lift ?
Looks so different just with a few inch lift. 🤙🏼😎
Yeeewww!! Silly stuff boys!!
Ahhhh Preston What have youve done?
lol Down graded!
Smack some Sense into him @TJ Jack
haha i dunno looks pretty bad ass in real life haha .. hang on what am i saying #Navlife4Life

Seems like it was a week ago and he was lifting the new nav haha. As always, making cars look sick. What’s your plans for a new ride tj
lol i know right, changes cars like undies ! maybe next year ill upgrade the pathy but for now ill just keep fixing it lol
To much time and money invested into it at this point you mean haha. It’s ok we all do it.
love it so what shocks did you replace and did you have to remove crash bars ? Also what clearance did you have when changing the shocks ?
Next sticker run.. #nosillybusiness 👌
thats a good idea lol !
@@TJANDMAC that's def worth a shoutout haha 👍
Nice video , keep pushing and building we look forward to more content
Haha you fellas remind me of our crew just give each other shit an stuff, nice truck 👍🏻

Dam it now I want a ranger! Haha 😂
😆😆😆
Looks like the US only had to deal with crash bars vs everyone else in the world doesn’t get ‘em 🤔.
doing this with a 2018 ranger for sure.
Cool vid didn't know that you didn't need uper to do 4inch on rangers thanks
thanks Jack
What’s the lift kit worth? Surprised it doesn’t need upper arms. I got mine priced with 3 inch lift and told that I needed upper arms. 2018 model.
yeah i would of thought it needed them but apparently perfect wheel alignment without... so yeah
I’am a bit confused, what shocks did you put in, are they standard two inch with the top hat from factory, or are they 4” shocks with the factory top hat?
Awesome vid champ👌🏾
another mint video boys
Are you running a diff drop?
Truck Looks great 👍
Why not put on a set of some Fox shocks or something.the stock shocks probably better than those aftermarket ones.
Looks like you don’t have those stupid intrusion beams on your rangers over there. Lucky.
4 inches... your gonna break and wear alot of things cause its a IFS ute, nice one 😊
Sir what changes did you do to accommodate those tires and rims i have a 2020 Ranger XLT with leveling kit and i want to upgrade my rims and tires especially the size you have rocks
This looks sickk! I think im gonna get the same for my ranger! YEWWW
When you go off road after 4inch lift you always seem to find your cv’s in the rear view mirror
LMFAO!!!!
Blokes on blokes in the shed ay
I have a 2019 usdm ranger no step sides the paint on the front of the bed by the cab is nearly gone at 26k miles.
Built Ford tough
Nice video
thanks PJ
Hey man, I've got the 2021 fx4 and want to do a 3.5inch lift and level, but alot of people are saying it creates alot of problems. Just wanted to ask if you guys have encountered any problems after the lift.
2 inch suspension 2 inch body is perfect but unfortunately not legal 🤷♂️ so se how you go
Yeah tj
How much time did you spend to install all system ?
PS: i love your videos bro
thanks mate ! only couple of hours if you have the right tools and know what order to do it in mate
Mate, that 8 inch lift 👌. Sick episode btw, had me creasing 😂
haha huge 8 inch lift there haha
In the words of Madonna......
Like a virgin.... Lifted for the very first time🤣🤣🤣🤙🏼
bahahaha indeed
Literally how is the ranger bigger than the pathy.
Should be better to drive with 33s too
i dunno lol wouldn't of believed it unless i saw it myself lol
Hey mate, are those maxxis a “true” 33” tyre or just below? Cheers.
says 33inch on the side.. i guess so
Lower shock bolts torques is supposed to be 550nm
looks good bro
Das cleannn maneee! 🔥🔥🔥
How to void a warranty in 9.30mins...🤣🤣🤣
lol !
What's the purpose of that lip on the front bumper anyway?!?
Aerodynamics ford tells us
surely we can get an honest review on his thoughts going from the nav to a ranger!
hmm good idea !
Hey man what uca did you put in? and did you do a diff drop?
good, what is the size of the tires and wheels. Greetings from Bolivia 🇧🇴
dont know shit from sugar with this stuff mate ,do u know if 285/55/20 will fit on stock 0 offset cheers
Can you’s do a video on the np300vs owning the ranger Mac cheers
What camera did you use for this one? They look crisp!
Sony a6500 mate 😎
Dude, what are the torques of those nuts?
That’s clean!! 👌🏽
Wait.... So he just got a 4" lift in with out new UCA's. Wonder how reliable it would be, just bought a ranger as well
dunno drives well at the moment though
You’d probably get away with it on the street, but a soon as you put any flex on it off road you more than likely will start breaking CV’s. Usually do a diff drop with 4” lift to lessen the angles
What is the part numbers of those Bilsteins I can't get those anywhere
Recon he did the brake lines too?
Is it legal or just risking it?
Hey TJ, can we get a like of what mac got?
would those 33 inch tyres stil fit without the lift kit?
probably not
What size and brand lift is he running in the rear? Love the content ❤️
Thanks Thomas ! No lift in the rear yet
No worries. Was just wondering because I’ve just bought the exact same front struts for my 2018 Ranger and an still undecided on what to put in the back 😩😩
Buys a new car, puts an illegal lift in and there goes his insurance 😂😂. But nah, the ranger looks sweet
Patrick Matthews Illegal? Lift & bigger tires are damn near mandatory. I know it’s not Texas, but ain’t North Korea either.
Krasnaludek it’s not North Korea... but it’s pretty damn close 😂
How come you guys didn’t upgrade the control arms ?
apparently for a 4 inch lift it is not necessary on a ford ranger as the wheel alignment will still be possible
TJ Jack who do you get this information from?
@@TJANDMAC i have an iron man 2 in lift on my 2012 ranger and its a bitch to aligne( always shredding the outer side of the tyre . they might have change something between 2012 and 2020
Awesome vid man! Just a quick one, what’s the width of the wheels? I read that you said they are 0 offset
Cheers man 🤙🏼
295/70/17
Cheers man
What set of lift kit you went for mate thanks in advance
It’s got a superior kit front and rear , ended up having complete coil conversion completed as well
when will u guys lift the rear
What the Apache fuel tank? Just a larger tank?
it needed professional cleaning it was full of crap and rust
Factory tank mate just restored!
Can we see the cv angles please or comments
ill try remember to show in a future vid :)
Sorry bro but you can not lift a ford ranger... it is against the truck rule book
anyone know what Bilstein suspension Mac put in the ranger ??
PSR has the parts if you need a set
That wrist is quick because it’s the polishing wrist 👀
hahaha must of done a fair bit of polishing in his day lol
How is it without a diff drop or does it have one
no its only 4 inch, id say if you went 6 inch you would have to look into it
Probably recomended but ill see how it goes
My bt50 has a 3 inch and I've broken 2 c.vs out at ormeau 🤷♀️
Is probobly just because i trash it a bit 😂
@@Toorah 4 inch including the 2 from tires i think.
How did you know the what measurement to set the spring seat too? And what was the measurement?

macs ranger drives like new with that lift, maybe you need different control arms in yours?
🤣🤣🤣 absolutely love it!!! 💪
Did u have to do a diff drop ?
What rims are they??
Why don't you flip your rear diff aswel?
Na did that on the chev already 😉
you didnt need a new upper control arm lifting 4"?
Think its only needed for wheel alignment purposes.
