If you’re thinking about giving your Ford Ranger a bit of extra clearance and capability, a suspension lift kit is one of the most practical upgrades you can make—and at PPD Performance, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re looking to tackle rugged off-road tracks, carry heavy loads for work, or just want that tougher, more aggressive stance, a 40mm lift kit strikes the perfect balance between form and function. It gives you room for larger tyres, better underbody clearance, and an all-round more capable ute without compromising everyday drivability.

Here at PPD Performance, we live and breathe 4x4 performance. Our Tough Dog lift kits, designed by passionate off-roaders, are tailored specifically for the Ford Ranger and include everything you need for a reliable, balanced lift. With 9-way adjustable shocks, upgraded rear leaf springs, and a full suite of heavy-duty components, this kit is built to perform whether you’re heading to the job site or hitting the tracks on the weekend. We even offer different spring rate options depending on your front and rear load requirements, so you can set your suspension up exactly how you need it.

Types of Lift Kits for the Ford Ranger

When it comes to lifting your Ford Ranger, not all lift kits are created equal. At PPD Performance, we specialise in suspension lift kits—and for good reason. Suspension lifts give you increased ground clearance and improved articulation, making them ideal for off-road adventures and serious load-carrying. Our Tough Dog kits come with fully adjustable shocks, so you can fine-tune your ride based on where you're headed and how much weight you're carrying.

While some drivers consider a body lift kit, these only raise the body off the chassis and don’t deliver the same performance benefits off-road. Suspension kits, like our 40mm Tough Dog setup, improve both ride height and vehicle capability by upgrading the components that matter—coils, shocks, and leaf springs. Plus, they’re designed with your Ranger’s long-term reliability in mind.

How Lift Kits Affect Performance and Handling

One of the biggest questions we get at PPD Performance is how a lift kit will affect day-to-day driving. The good news? Our 40mm Tough Dog suspension kit enhances performance across the board—improving towing stability, off-road control, and road comfort. With 9-way adjustable shocks, you’re not stuck with a one-size-fits-all ride. You can go firmer for off-road durability or softer for a smoother highway cruise.

And if you’re worried about fuel economy or handling, rest easy. A modest 40mm lift won’t drastically change how your Ranger drives, especially with the fine-tuned setup we offer. In fact, most of our customers tell us their vehicle feels more planted and confident after the upgrade—especially when fully loaded or towing.

Installation & Compatibility

Wondering whether you can install your lift kit yourself? While some seasoned DIYers tackle the job at home, we generally recommend professional installation—just to make sure everything is torqued correctly and aligned for optimal performance. Our kits come with all the necessary components, including upgraded U-bolts, spring bush kits, greasable pins and shackles, so there’s no guesswork involved.

Cost, Value & Warranty

Lifting your Ranger isn’t just about looks—it’s an investment in capability and confidence. Our Tough Dog kits offer excellent value for money, especially when you consider they include premium adjustable components, upgraded rear hardware, and a custom-fit design.

Compared to piecing together parts individually or going with a cheap kit that doesn’t perform, our kits provide a complete, reliable solution that’s built to last. Whether you're upgrading for work, touring, or just weekend off-road escapes, you’ll feel the difference every time you get behind the wheel.

Common Concerns and Maintenance

One of the most common concerns we hear is whether a lift kit puts extra wear on your Ranger. The truth is, when done right—with high-quality parts like our Tough Dog shocks and coils—you’re actually reinforcing your suspension, not stressing it. Our kits are designed for multi-disciplinary use, whether that’s city driving, highway towing, or rock-hopping on the weekend.

Maintenance-wise, it’s simple. After installation, we recommend a wheel alignment and a check-in service after a few thousand kilometres to make sure everything has settled properly. From there, just keep an eye on your tyre pressure and suspension components like you normally would. And if you ever need advice or spare parts, the PPD Performance team is only a phone call away.
