If you're looking to seriously upgrade your 2WD Ford Ranger from 1998 to 2000, this 5.5-inch lift kit from Camburg is where it's at. This isn’t just another kit; it’s been the go-to for years among folks who want real performance on and off the road.

What sets this kit apart? Well, it starts with the heavy-duty 3-inch lift fabricated race spindles. These bad boys come with a beefy 1-inch vertical uniball that replaces the stock upper ball joint, which is known to give out when you push your truck hard. This upgrade gives you a solid 10 inches of usable wheel travel—perfect for tackling rough terrain without worrying about your suspension failing.

The upper arms are crafted from 1.50" x .120 wall 4130 chromoly tubing, designed to double shear the uniball for added strength. Plus, we’ve paired it with FOX 2.0 series shocks that bolt right in and are valved specifically for this setup. You’ll feel the difference in control and comfort, whether you’re cruising the highway or hitting the trails.

And let’s not forget about the lift itself. Our coil springs provide an additional 2.5 inches of height, and they’re heat-treated and stress-relieved to handle whatever you throw at them. With a track width increase of 1.5 inches per side, you’ll enjoy better stability and even more wheel travel. Just a heads-up: if you're planning to run 33-inch tires, fiberglass front fenders are a must.
