Superior Engineering Ranger and BT-50 Coil Spring Conversion Kit

By Dean Mellor 2 Min Read

Want to transform your Ranger or BT-50 from a leaf-spring cart into a Raptor-like coil-spring beast? Superior Engineering has developed a Ranger and BT-50 Coil Spring Conversion Kit.

The Superior Engineering weld-in kit has been developed to convert the Ford Ranger PXII/PXIII and Mazda BT-50 from leaf springs to coil springs for improved on-road ride and handling, as well as vastly increased wheel travel for better off-road performance.

Designed, tested and manufactured at Superior Engineering’s Brisbane HQ, the kit provides a two-inch lift and is supplied with everything required to convert the Ranger/BT-50 from leaves to coils, including brackets, mounts, control arms and sway bar. The kit is not, however, supplied with springs and shock absorbers – this allows customers to choose their own coils and shocks. And as the kit has been designed for compatibility with Patrol shock absorbers, there’s a wide range of shocks on the market to suit.

Vehicle payload is not affected by fitment of the coil conversion kit, which has been thoroughly tested and is VSB14 approved, and while it is supplied with full fitting instructions, Superior Engineering states that it must be “welded by a qualified boilermaker or welder (AS1554.1 certified) and fitted by a suitably qualified suspension fitter”. Once fitted it also needs to be presented to an approved modification plate officer for inspection and sign-off.

The weld-in coil conversion kit starts at $3499 without coils and shocks. It can also be ordered through Superior Engineering with a choice of different coils and shocks. See Superior Engineering for full details and prices.
