Pff mate ive been running a 100mm lift in my patrol in brisbane here for a long time. been pulled over a bunch and never a head turned. you'll be right.
@@wikkidme755 Not to mention if you have an at fault accident, they can (potentially rightfully so, depending on the work done and quality) state the suspension changes had something to do with causing the accident. In that case, you lose all cover and the full cost of medical and property damage is passed on to the driver.
Awesome video. I wish shops on the US paid that much attention to spring rates as much as you all do in Oz and S Africa. They do a generic lift, stiff shocks and springs then send you bouncing down the highway.
A lot of dual-cab utes now have that bent-down second stage in the leaf springs for ride comfort. The weight of the vehicle definitely won't bend those override leafs haha.
AT 6:38 you describe the rear spring as bent - Rangers come like that from the factory (I have a 2020.75 and it's never been overloaded and mine are like that). You can actually flip that inverted leaf over to increase the weight capacity if carrying a heavy load regularly, as a poor man's upgrade to the stock springs. Good video though, very informative.
Would not recommend removing the stock spring from the shockie like that. Use the correct spring compressor. My apprentice did it your way to save time and the shock shot 20 meters down the workshop.
Getting in before 4000 comments on not putting bearing grease on Polly bushes 😂 and not 100% sure what the front brake lines were undone and not just undo the caleper bolts and swing it out of the way 🤷🏻♂️
Almost certain you all installed the rear shocks upside down. They might be easier to adjust the other way and the stock orientation is with the body on the axle side. Should work no worries! Wish we had diesel Rangers here in the states...
Great job mate. Would love to see how it goes off road. Have a 2 inch lift and 33's I installed myself on my Ranger in the driveway. But as they say bigger is better. Or is it? Please let us know if it is.
Your typical spring compressors will not work for 4wd heavy rated springs, they bend and its dodgy as fuck, better off using a professional suspension mob for that part
How do you get an engineers certificate for it? Because the max without a certificate is 2 inches. Do you just go in and they verify it’s safe or is it more complicated?
tighten all pivot points (control arms,spring and shock bushes) after it is back on the ground at ride height. otherwise it will ride like shit and destroy bushes. you probably did that but didn't point it out on the vid for newbies.
So that diff drop bracket you cut off. Well I hit that in a rock and it caved the front of the diff bracket in. Are there any serious issues that happen later with denting that bracket in? I don’t feel any vibrations at all and I can’t tell if it moved the diff or anything. Safe to say the front plate to the bracket caved in without actually moving my diff?
I was told that with the superior remote res lift kit for the 2021 ford ranger PX3 ford does not need a diff drop when going 3 inch lift. What are your thoughts?
So how was the test drive after the upgrade? I've got an Everest I'm looking to upgrade the suspension on. I've seen this kit online but I know nothing about the brand.
You could of just rented a spring compressor tool from the auto parts store for free and assembled everything in the lot in like 20mins and returned the rented tool right there and then
Can you get any more Australian aha Working on your brothers car, in your back garage, using a millk crate as a seat and started by wearing ugg boots ahah
Hey Sam! I had malaga suspensions install a 3 inch lift kit (Dobinsons IMS) into my 2017 ranger XLT about 2 months ago. My ride feels super firm though, especially at the rear. Is there a way to soften it up a bit without replacing the springs? Cheers mate.
Hey man not too sure if your questions been answered but you should be about to adjust the damper settings on the front for a softer ride, as for the rear leafs are preset to carry a constant static load ie: 300kgs or such, only solution for that is a lower rated leaf spring
Always loved these px2 onward rangers. I thought they looked neat despite what these old dinosaurs say about being all plastic. My gu is getting a bit long in the tooth and been eyeing these out. Don't do that much off roading due to work anymore and the fuel savings and power of these would be nice to have. Bet its more capable than my patrol too seeing as they have factory rear diff locks. Would love to see this in an offroad video.
Why you would put a 4" lift on a vehicle with a limited 6.5" of full front end travel is madness. A lower lift with mods for more travel would perform better.
Yeah also possibly not legal. In WA, you can only lift the roof of your vehicle 50mm total, in combination of suspension lift, body lift and tyres. Effectively, you are limited to a 50mm bigger tyre and 25mm suspension lift without engineering.
Could you do an uninstall video as well... You know ... for us Queenslanders who will have to take it off as it is too high ;-P . ?
Pff mate ive been running a 100mm lift in my patrol in brisbane here for a long time. been pulled over a bunch and never a head turned. you'll be right.
It’s more about insurance than what we can get away with on the road. If ya right it off and they can measure the height they won’t pay up.

@@shockflyyer3d just do go nsw where they will defect you
@@peterbarber7613 mate don't be a sook and let the government hold you back and enjoy four wheeling.
Thanks Sam, 100% next upgrade to my Ranger
How do you not have more subscribers? Your work is quality!

The ARB Dakar springs are very similar in design. I thought I was the only one that caught that. Good catch!
Been using Malaga Suspensions for 3 years now, work and Offroad... Toms' the Man !
Would love to see a walk around of this rig!

Nice one mate. I wish I had a hoist handy when I installed the diff drop into my ranger 😌
mad video suspension looks like it rides smooth as butter
Getting in before 4000 comments on not putting bearing grease on Polly bushes 😂 and not 100% sure what the front brake lines were undone and not just undo the caleper bolts and swing it out of the way 🤷🏻♂️
They put longer brake lines on

I powder coat all the upper control arms for superior 🤙
Do you now?
Superior Engineering Ha! Got Em!!
I dunno about all of them but yeah I do and the super flex arms aswell
I buff them when done
Almost everyday I’m across the road from Malaga suspension, picking stuff up from good guys, hope I see you there one day 😂
Last time i came this early it was last night.. 56 seconds ..
Fuck still almost a minute longer then me your doing well
Congrats on your new record!
Wilbinga tracks at the end 👌🏼
Thanks for reminding me why I don't own any ifs vehicles.
Scared the shit outta me at the beginning had the volume on blast 🤣🤣🤣
Nice video man, love the action shots of the Rangie!
Great job mate. Would love to see how it goes off road. Have a 2 inch lift and 33's I installed myself on my Ranger in the driveway. But as they say bigger is better. Or is it? Please let us know if it is.
So why the decision to make it illegal ???
he can get it engineered.
Putting some angle on the CV joint.
Diff drop counteracts it mate
1 you can't balance a shaft to a diff..
2 get spring compressors they are about 50.
Your typical spring compressors will not work for 4wd heavy rated springs, they bend and its dodgy as fuck, better off using a professional suspension mob for that part
Another helpfully video Sam, great work mate
greetings from America! Very cool Ranger
Too easy mate haha
Good to see you here mate haha
Great vid, but would've been awesome to see before, mid and after pics to see the changes etc, other than that, pretty cool
How do you get an engineers certificate for it? Because the max without a certificate is 2 inches. Do you just go in and they verify it’s safe or is it more complicated?
Sam Eyles Thanks mate!
Sam Eyles
Keeping it legit
Love your work
that ranger looks pretty tuff. sucks having an older ifs car as there are fuck all aftermarket parts...
Nice, I'll definitely remember to remove my spare tyre removal rod if / when I attempt this ;)
How does this channel only have 35k subs
You deserve way more subs awesome vids man!!
Best way to have zero flex
You forgot to mention or forgot to do the brake proportioning doovy for the rear. Also what exhaust does your brother run?
What’s he done with the exhaust? Sounds mint.
Superior aye? Looks like a good lot of gear!
Good stuff Sam your always entertaining👍👍
Hey bud love the videos, keep up the good work. Are you able to tell me what exhaust your brother has in his ford ranger?
tighten all pivot points (control arms,spring and shock bushes) after it is back on the ground at ride height. otherwise it will ride like shit and destroy bushes. you probably did that but didn't point it out on the vid for newbies.
Would have been nice to see more detail on the diff spacing.
Love the safety boots
Bloody intro… almost spilt my coffee
So by all ifs vehicles do you mean ALL ifs vehicles? Finding it hard to get solid info on anything over 2" on my Everest.
Quality Video Mate👌
😂😂😂 loving the work boots mate! 👍
Hey mate, great vid. I want to know how the ezy lift spacer on the rear leaf springs was while on the vehicle?
So that diff drop bracket you cut off. Well I hit that in a rock and it caved the front of the diff bracket in.
Are there any serious issues that happen later with denting that bracket in? I don’t feel any vibrations at all and I can’t tell if it moved the diff or anything. Safe to say the front plate to the bracket caved in without actually moving my diff?
Haha spin out! I bought the spacers off zac from facebook!!.
Good vid Bnb!
On the rear is it a 2 inch leaf with 2 inch shackle?
Not much downward wheel travel in the front end seems to be a bit of a waste
Are you able to tell me the extended length of the rear shocks? Or the part number for them?
Hi I m planing to do 2 inch lift to my hilux. Is It good If I used struts to life the hilux? What do you recommend?
pitty a 4" lift isn't legal in all states
Not legal in wa eather. 3 inch maximum total lift. That includes tyres.
So don't use spacers in the springs for a lift?
when you lift a vehicle, the cross bar angle is changed which is from gear box to differential. Is it harmful for the cross joint?
Where did you get that jack from??
What's been done to the exhaust setup exactly? Sounds much better than factory, And also any tuning been done to the engine?
Hi BnB,
a Question about the size on of the rear lift block pin if you know, is it a 9/16" pin? (14.3mm)?
What trade do you do?
Hey mate, what rear bar is that??
Wicked pickup and suspension up Grade
Thanks that was interesting.
I was told that with the superior remote res lift kit for the 2021 ford ranger PX3 ford does not need a diff drop when going 3 inch lift. What are your thoughts?
Nice job well done, but what about the Cops ? Suspension and tires max 50 mm total or illegal
Did not know that.
THANK YOU VERY Much.
Great video.. This is one time when a mate with a hoist makes life easier! Haha
Hey Sam , What does your brother think of the superior shocks after having them for awhile?
Hey mate what brand diff drop did you use ?
Going up 4 inches would the tail shaft need spacers at all mate?
Sooo big question , what did it all cost
all you need to do now is learn how to pull springs apart correctly and put them together
My next door neighbour is the manager of Malaga suspensions 😂
Can you do a video on the mods on this?
So how was the test drive after the upgrade? I've got an Everest I'm looking to upgrade the suspension on. I've seen this kit online but I know nothing about the brand.

Sick rig..
What’s the biggest muddies you can fit under that 4 inch lift
How has no one commented on the UGG BOOTS! Real men wear uggs in their sheds.
What year is that ranger ?
Can you get any more Australian aha
Working on your brothers car, in your back garage, using a millk crate as a seat and started by wearing ugg boots ahah
So no stiffer anti-roll bar?
question mate, spacers are bd ? i dont go off road hardcore like you would.
What's the cost for the suspension kit?
what shock is that? What drop kit are you installing?
Do you think its worth doing the lower control arms as well?
hey what rear bar did you put on the ranger ? cheers brother

fkn love your work Sam!
where can i find more of your brothers ranger?! ooft!!!
is it possible to fit a 3.0 in. lift kit in the new Ssangyong REXTON 4WD 5-Dr SUV???
Why "diff drop"?
New shed ??
nice mate , have the same car , what exhaust is your brother running ?
Diff drop?
Do u have to install it on ur own or can u get a place to do it for u?
Are you wearing ugboots in the workshop mate?
Could u do a 4inch loft on my dads ford Everest
