    The Wildtrak suspension is OK from factory but tends to be jittery, overly stiff and really wants a decent weight in the rear to settle it down. This generally due to the rear end being specified to take a reasonable load as the priority rather than offroading. Upgrading suspension is one of the most common modifications to any 4wd for those intending to head out and enjoy the unsealed world.

    We here at PPD have a little bit more of a focus when it comes to suspension and also understand that its one of the best upgrades you can do! Not only for ride quality when you find those ruts or corregations but also for clearance. Clearance is improved on the new generation, but more is always better! 

    With all that in mind, a suspension upgrade is deserving of its own blog post.

    21/10 - With the ranger deliveries only just starting in Australia, it is not uncommon for there to be limited choices on the market for some upgrades. This is no different for suspension. 

    The only 'real' choice available to ourselves currently was a full Bilstein B6 kit, paired with Old Man Emu Leafs. 

    		  
     The Bilsteins have a lot of great features;
    • Monotube design ensures consistent, fade-free performance in all conditions
    • Patented digressive valving instantly reacts to changing surface conditions
    • Improved performance in lifted applications
    • OEM certified mounting hardware allows for easy installation
    • Zinc plated for resistance against harsh elements
    • Durable vulcanized neoprene rubber bushings
    • Available in various lift heights for multiple applications

    The 2022 Ford Ranger Wildtrak (V6) measures in at 1884mm in height, with the standard 255/65 R18 front and rear tyres. 

    This equates to 234mm of ground clerance, specifically with standard  measurements;

    Front
    Standard: 170(tyre),560(Hub)
    Lifted: 240(tyre),620(Hub)

    Rear
    Standard: 210(tyre),600(hub)
    Lifted: 230(tyre),620(hub)

    • REAR LEAF SPRING MEDIUM 0-300KG (Old man EMU Lift)
