What are the benefits of having a lifted Ford Ranger?

I’ve been thinking about lifting my 2017 Ford Ranger for a while now, but before I commit to it, I want to know more about the pros and cons of owning a lifted vehicle. What are the benefits of having a lifted Ford Ranger?

Excellent question! There are a whole host of benefits when it comes to having a lifted
Ford Ranger
, such as easier off-roading, better visibility, and increased handling.
If you do decide to lift your Ford Ranger, there are two methods to choose from: you can either lift the suspension or the vehicle body itself—or both, if you’d like. Either way, doing so will make it much easier to work on the vehicle underbody and will allow you to install larger wheels.
Ultimately, you can expect the following benefits if you decide to lift your Ford Ranger:
  • Better vehicle handling
  • Improved view of the road
  • Easier access to the undercarriage
  • Increased towing ability
  • Accommodation of bigger wheels
Of course, there are also a couple disadvantages of owning a lifted Ford Ranger, the most egregious being:
  • The possibility of voiding your existing warranty
  • A marked decrease in fuel efficiency
  • Higher chance of rolling your vehicle in an accident
Hopefully this helps you make a more informed decision!
