Tough Dog Ford Ranger PX1 & PX2 (2011–2019) Complete 40mm Suspension Lift Kit
The Tough Dog Ford Ranger PX1/PX2 (2011–2019) 40mm Suspension Kit is the legendary solution for one of South Africa’s most popular bakkies. Designed to solve the factory “nose-dive” and soft rear leaf spring issues, this kit delivers a significant increase in load-carrying capacity and ground clearance — whether you’re a farmer, a weekend warrior, or a cross-border overlander pushing through the harshest conditions Southern Africa has to offer.
Featuring 41mm Bore Foam Cell Shock technology, this system uses a microcellular foam insert to prevent oil aeration — ensuring your suspension stays cool and consistent even after hours of corrugated gravel driving in the African heat.
The PX1 and PX2 Rangers are famous for their 3.2L torque and legendary reliability — but the factory suspension often feels “mushy” once you add a steel bumper, canopy, or tow ball load. Tough Dog’s progressive leaf springs deliver a plush, comfortable ride when empty while maintaining exceptional stability and load control when fully laden — keeping your Ranger safe and level on any terrain.
✅ 40mm lift — corrected nose-down rake and improved ground clearance for trails and gravel roads
✅ Eliminates nose-dive — firmer front coil rates restore braking composure and driver confidence
✅ Progressive rear leaf springs — plush when empty, composed and stable when fully loaded
✅ Load-rated spring options — Comfort, 300kg, or 500kg Constant to match your canopy, bullbar, or towing setup
✅ Centre Bearing Spacer Kit included — eliminates post-lift driveline shudder on the PX platform
✅ Foam Cell shock technology — microcellular foam prevents oil aeration for fade-free performance in extreme heat
✅ Optional 9-stage adjustable shocks — fine-tune your ride for any terrain or load condition
Tip: Greasable Shackles and Pins are available as an optional upgrade for the PX Ranger — extending the life of your bushings significantly in dusty, high-use environments. Highly recommended for farm vehicles and remote touring applications. Ask our team for details and pricing.

The lenses inside the lights are crucial, as they are responsible for directing the beam and creating the necessary cut-off. Unfortunately, the lights I received do not match the lenses shown in the product picture, specifically at the top and bottom. Additionally, the company did not have stock, and I had to pay an extra R1000 to have them sourced from a different supplier, which was frustrating given the product mismatch. I am still in the process of trying to find an installer for these. Since I need the lights for a trip I am unable to return them, once they are installed, I can review on quality.
