BDS 3.5-Inch Lift Kit | FOX 2.0 Coil-Overs | Cast Aluminum Knuckle | Ford Ranger 4WD 2019–2023 | SKU: 1545FSL

The BDS 3.5-Inch Lift Kit is a complete front lift system for 2019–2023 Ford Ranger 4WD models equipped with cast aluminum front knuckles, featuring FOX 2.0 Performance Series coil-overs. The FOX 2.0 coil-over replaces both the factory strut and coil spring as a single integrated unit, delivering improved damping control and ride quality at 3.5-inch lift height. Cast aluminum knuckles maintain proper geometry at lifted height. This kit is for cast aluminum knuckle models only — if your Ranger has cast steel knuckles, order SKU 1906FSL instead.
