Expert opinion on upgrading a Ford Ranger PX II & III to 3.5 tons

The upgrade of the vehicle to 3.5 t offers great advantages in everyday life and when travelling. Many modern base vehicles, with high-end equipment and high basic weight, no longer offer the customer sufficient reserves in terms of loading. If a camper cabin or another heavy-duty conversion is now used for holidays or everyday work, the permissible gross vehicle weight is quickly exhausted and often even significantly exceeded. In addition to the resulting safety risk of driving with an unstable and overloaded chassis, the driver faces hefty fines at home and abroad if weighed during a check. The upgrade to a 3.5-ton gross vehicle weight provides clarity and safety here. This is where the strength of the Ironman4x4 suspensions comes into its own! Without complicated or prone to failure additional solutions such as air springs with extra compressor systems, a conventional Ironman4x4 suspension can be used to adjust the axle loads without further modification with an additionally available expert opinion for the upgrade and entered into the registration papers. Here, the upgrade from the Australian suspension specialists offers another great advantage: Many upgrades are only possible in conjunction with the hardest available leaf and coil springs – Ironman4x4 suspensions can be used for an upgrade already from the Performance variant. This means that even vehicles with a nominally more comfortable spring can already benefit from the 3.5-ton registration. In this case, the rear axle load of the Ford Ranger PXII and PXIII is always increased to 2150 kg.
