MUST DO UPGRADE - Next Gen Ford Ranger
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 เม.ย. 2023
- In this one we finish up our time in the Grampians to head home and install a suspension lift kit into our 2022 Next Gen Ford Ranger.
Bryce installs our 2 Inch Dobinson's suspension lift with 500kg Constant load rear leaf springs.
In the Grampians we explore a couple of walks and venture up to the Pinnacle but we may have cheated...
Thanks heaps!

best day to do it have fun
Another great video guys. Glad you mentioned the weight breaking the ute on all types because people use to rubbish your old triton for doing it. It all comes down to doing what the ute is capable of. Seen to many videos of people going to what the dealer said and the breaking its back.
Cheers mate! Absolutely, I had so many comments about the triton and breaking the chassis. It's not a triton thing it's an airbag in leaf spring problem and happens to all Ute's
Good job guys u done it right properly 👏
Thanks! 🎉👍🏽
Thank you for showing the suspension lift, most interesting, the trip to the Grampians was nice, will be. Looking forward to the next video. Happy Travels. 🤗👍
Thanks so much for watching! 👏🏽
Great video guys, from your Darwin viewers. We drove thru Grampians exactly 12 months ago and got caught out with Parks Victoria closing all the walks for a week of controlled burn offs. This was a Friday on a long weekend. Anyway they told us to come back another time, yeah right, we’ll pop down from Darwin. Still made the most of the stay and definitely will be back. Safe travels.
Hey thanks for watching!
Oh wow that a long way for it to be closed 😩 next time maybe! 🤞🏾
Fantastic Bryce and Chelsea, i'm sure you're both looking forward to getting this new machine on the road with caravan in tow 👌
As always, safe travels.
Yes we’ve currently out and about. It’s towing amazing. We will show that next video 👍🏽👏🏽
Looking good 👍
Thanks so much!
Always look forward to see your content, thank you for sharring :)
Cheers mate!
Just wanna say awesome 👍👍👍😁
Thanks so much!
Sorry for the late reply 🥰
Clever Bryce! 🎉
Yes I know right! He’s a good egg 👍🏽👍🏽
FYI - Shops in Halls Gap have weird opening times because they struggle to get staff. Lots of tourists but not enough locals to work!
We’re finding this more and more on our travels. Such a shame but that’s all good we make it work. We just have to be more organised haha
Good choice, airbags put load on parts of the chassis that isn’t designed for it👍
Cheers! Thats what I try to tell everyone that has a leaf spring suspension, they can't handle the extra load in a non load bearing area!
another great episode guys, can you let me know what your fuel economy is like now your ranger is kitted out. I've heard it gets better after the engine has run in a bit. Cheers keep up the great content.
Thanks for watching! As it is we get about 11.4 l/100 driving around town, we will talk about towing very soon 👍🏽
Chels and Bryce 'It's freezing..chilly..cold'
Hahaha yeah she’s crazy 🤪
Hi guys, great videos looks like you both enjoy doing what your doing. With the modified suspension you use to have to also alter the brake bias to suit new ride heights and weights that have now changed from standard. Is this recomended with the new 4wd's now?
Hi mate thanks for the comment, I know in some cases the brake lines need to be extended but not sure what you mean by brake bias, we haven't had any issues so far 👍🏽
Good job. Did you have to shim the drive shaft because it was raised so much and did you or have experienced any drive shaft vibrations since raising the suspension? Just wondering. Cheers and keep up the good work.
Thanks mate, yeah had to put a driveshaft spacer in, it had a little vibration and then once I put that in went away completely 👍🏽
Now for the ARB bullbar and recovery point, a Hayman Reece xbar to tidy up the rear end, some Clearview next gen side mirrors, a Yakama platform rack and perhaps SC Fab Works side steps/sliders?
Dreams! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Can we borrow some money please ? 😂😂😂
@@CaravanAdventureAus yeh, it takes time to get everything you need. A good bullbar next will balance the front end down by 10mm and make it feel even better.
💜💜💜
Great video mate.
How do you rate the Dobinsons?
Any problems with the tail shaft vibrations?
Thanks mate, dobinsons has been really good so far, super comfortable ride with the extra weight. They have a centre bearing spacer kit to allow for the raised suspension and haven't noticed any vibrations at all. The kit is also adjustable with extra washers.
Have done any caravan mods??
If that finger flick had turned into a fist fight I would had cracked up 😂
😂😂
Can you give some feedback on how the new Ranger tows etc. I have a V6 Wildtrax ordered
Hey! Thanks for watching.
Our next video is all about towing 👍🏽
Hey guys thanks for the video, I have re watched this because I'm interested in the new Ranger and would like to know if any of the suspension upgrades you have done have only effect on the Ford new car warranty?
Hey mate, suspension upgrades only effect the warranty on those specific parts, and unless they can prove that the suspension caused a failure then it effects warranty. They can't say you turbo failed because of a suspension upgrade for example.
Did you get a gvm upgrade or wasn't that necessary also going down to water falls is good but coming back up not nice All the best Ron
We thought about it but we’re waiting on the federally approved one. Don’t need it just yet anyways 👍🏽
How does the 360 view camera look now with the rear camera moved from tub to canopy? Cheers Guys👍
Hey!
We didn’t see the camera on the tub as it all got installed while we were travelling.
Looks great though. Norweld moved all the sensors and cameras
Hi Guys
How is the suspension set up, toying between ARB or Dobinsons as just about to put a tray and canopy on my Next Gen Ranger
It's been awesome so far 👍🏽 such a comfortable ride and has a nice ride height
How did you go getting the front wheel alignment in spec with that lift??
It's only just in spec at the moment but we will get more adjustment once a bullbar is on the front and it settles down 👍
What brand is the canopy
It's a norweld canopy 👍🏽
Hi people I am still waiting for my wildtrak V6 and am investigating the Lovells GVM 3505kg and GCM 7005kg I am very interested in the ride change in your rig any thing that stags out in the ride and the handling especially when towing. My thoughts are it is more expensive for the Lovells but it is not twice the price I will get a lot more all round strength.
I think it'll be a great bit of gear but ofcourse it will effect the ride quality too. Something g we are looking into for the future
@@CaravanAdventureAus Thanks what amount of change in the ride did you experience with your lift.
Just as a new bit of unconfirmed information, I spoke with the Ford dealership about the GVM / GCM upgrade he told me only Lovells would supply the upgrade I am after. I then said that ford would not cover that under warranty, he said that they actually would cover it under the pre registration rules. I have yet to get a written confirmation.@@CaravanAdventureAus
Why didn’t you just buy a Dodge Ram
Because we didn’t want to buy a Dodge Ram 😂
