We lifted a Ford Ranger with an Icon 3.5-inch Stage 2 kit — including Icon's billet aluminum upper control arms — on BFGoodrich KO2 all-terrains. A premium suspension setup that raises the Ranger, corrects its geometry, and rides like a factory-plus truck, not a spacer job.
This Ranger came through Juggernaut USA in Wheat Ridge (Denver), CO for a proper lift. Icon is one of the top names in suspension for a reason — the Stage 2 kit raises the front on real coilovers and includes billet upper control arms to keep the geometry correct at the new height. The result is more clearance, room for a bigger tire, and a genuinely improved ride.

Icon Stage 2 with billet control arms
What sets a Stage 2 Icon kit apart from a basic lift is the control arms. Raising the front changes the suspension geometry; Icon's billet aluminum upper arms are built for the new height, restoring correct ball-joint angles and adding clearance for more travel. Paired with Icon's coilovers, the Ranger gains height, capability, and ride quality all at once.
Common questions on this build
Why upgrade the upper control arms?
A lift changes the front geometry. Purpose-built upper control arms restore correct angles and alignment range and add travel clearance — on a bigger lift they are strongly recommended, and Icon's billet arms are top-tier.
Is an Icon kit worth it over a budget lift?
For ride quality and durability, yes. Icon coilovers and billet arms ride and last better than basic spacer or shock kits. It is the enthusiast's choice for a reason.
Can you lift my Ranger?
Yes — levels to full lifts, wheels and tires, spec'd to fit. We do it in-house.
