Despite the company’s ardent refusal (or not?) to sell the Ranger Raptor in this country, Ford’s not been shy about taking the goods to its competition in other segments of the truck market.

They’ve promised a Tremor package for Super Duty to take on Ram’s Power Wagon, along with the familiar FX4 trim which meets Chevy’s Z71 kit head on.

Now, the Glass House has rolled out answer to the Silverado Trail Boss — with a bone thrown to those of us who pine for a Ranger Raptor.

From the Ford Performance Parts arm of the company comes an off-road levelling kit, one which includes Fox Shocks and a 2-inch front lift. Also in the box are new front coilovers and vehicle-specific upper front mounts. Locking spring pre-load rings are also on board to tie it all together.

Ford Performance engineers worked with Fox to develop unique internal valving for the shocks, meaning the mighty Raptor isn’t the only F-150 to wear a set of suspenders from that company. Both Ranger and F-150 will see improvements to front ground clearance measures, plus better approach and breakover angles, not to mention a more aggressive stance.

The company estimates Ranger will see a 21-per-cent increase in approach angle and a 10-per-cent increase in breakover angle once the kit is installed. Big-bro F-150, with a 145-inch wheelbase, should get an approximate 22-per-cent increase in approach angle and seven-per-cent increase in breakover.

If you’re unfamiliar with off-road terms, this basically means the trucks can run over more stuff.

Development and testing for the leveling kits included high-speed off-roading in California and low-speed Arizona rock-crawling. Expect to pay in the neighbourhood of two grand for the kit, which can be installed by dealers later this autumn on any 2019 Ranger 4×4 and 2015-2019 F-150 4×4 trucks.
