How to make Ford Ranger ride smoother?

How to make Ford Ranger ride smoother?

Ford Rangers are a workhorse commercial utility vehicle first and foremost, popular with Aussies for their ability to take a tonne of payload in the back, and pull tonnes of tow loads with ease. This heavy duty capability comes at the cost of ride and handling compared to conventional cars and 4x4s, as the suspension is set-up to handle heavy loads, not take corners and ride smoothly. Any work done to make a Ranger ride smoother, like replacing shock absorbers, changing to passenger car-style tyres, or replacing springs with softer rates, will reduce the Ranger's ability to handle loads. You should also check any parts are legal to use on the Ranger before fitting them so you don't void your warranty or are defected by police.
