Show original supplier description
The SuspensionMAXX SMX-MCR is a 1.0 to 2.0-inch adjustable front leveling kit specifically engineered for 1997-2008 Ford Ranger 4x4 and 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4x4 models equipped with torsion bars. This kit addresses the common factory "nose-down" stance, leveling the vehicle's appearance and improving functionality. By raising the front end, it increases tire clearance, allowing for the fitment of up to 32-inch diameter tires without rubbing or the need for fender modifications. Constructed from robust 4140 heat-treated alloy steel with an industrial strength powder coating, the SMX-MCR is built to withstand demanding off-road use and daily driving. The MAXXCam RS technology utilizes an internal gear adjustment mechanism with seven distinct settings, offering precise control over the lift height without preloading the torsion bars or degrading ride quality. This ensures that the comfortable factory ride is maintained, as the kit allows for the use of stock shocks. The kit is designed for a straightforward bolt-on installation that can typically be completed in 1-2 hours, especially when using the SuspensionMAXX Super T Maxx Torsion Bar Unloader Tool (sold separately). No cutting or welding is required, making it a durable and economical alternative to more complex and expensive full lift kits. All necessary hardware is included, and the product is proudly made in the USA with a structural lifetime warranty. This kit is compatible with 1995-2010 Ford Ranger 4x4 and 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4x4 vehicles. It provides lift to level the vehicle, increases ground clearance, and allows for carrying heavier front loads while contributing to a more aggressive appearance.
