Swapping your 2013-2020 F150 or Raptor's stock eBOV for a true vent-to-atmosphere BOV usually means having to buy a fairly complicated kit that requires essentially adapting a basic mechanical BOV to your truck with a boost reference adapter, reference line, and new mounts. Turbosmart aims to change the game with their new 2013-2020 F150 EcoBoost Vee Port EM BOV. The Vee Port EM is a drop-in, plug-and-play BOV for the 2.7L and 3.5L EcoBoost F150s. The Vee Port EM uses the stock eBOV connector and features an electronically actuated piston with a high-speed solenoid that uses the same signal that activates the stock eBOV to give your truck a true VTA sound in a hassle-free package. On top of the easy install, the Vee Port EM features a high-quality construction and durable seal that provides more reliable operation than stock, even if you're running higher boost pressures via tuning. The Vee Port EM is set for release in February 2020, and is available for pre-order now!

The wimpy factory stance and rake on the 2019-2020 Ford Ranger just isn't going to be very ideal on treacherous off-road paths, as we've reiterated time and time again. While leveling and lift kits are best for complete packages to fix this problem, if you're adding components individually, then you probably want to start with some front coilovers. While we have a ton of front leveling parts available on our website, you shouldn't make a decision before checking out Fox's 2.5 Remote Reservoir Factory Race Series Front Adjustable Coilovers! Tested rigorously over a long period of time by racing atheletes, the coilovers provide improved suspension damping, precision control and race-proven performance on any terrain! The package includes two front coilovers and provides 2-3" of front lift for a better stance and rake. The coilovers also provide 4.05" of travel, 16.74" of compressed and 20.786" of extended. The top mount uses an OEM design while the bottom mount features a bar pin. The coilover features a 2.5" diameter smooth bore seamless steel body with zinc body plating for long-term durability. The shock's components are made from black-anodized, CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum for further strength. Its 7/8" hard chrome plated steel shaft also holds up against potential abuse. More performance upgrades are achieved through the shock's high-flow aluminum piston, application specific valving, external reservoirs and JM92 Advanced Suspension Fluid. You'll fall in love with the look and performance this Fox part provides!

There are so many brands and styles of off-road lights for the 2019-2020 Ford Ranger, so it can be a little overwhelming when trying to find the right one for you. Before you make a decision, you must consider ZROADZ' LED Lights to illuminate your off-road trails due to their convenience and specification. The ZROADZ packages include off-road legal only LED lighting and bracket mounts for the Ranger's hood hinge and rear bumper! The hood hinge kit uses two ZROADZ 3" LED Pod Lights for excellent auxiliary lighting. With a flood beam, 1,712 lumens, 20 watts and CREE 5W LED Chips, the lights will ensure you have a wide field of view on your next off-road excursion. The mild steel pods bolt into place using the factory hood attachment point of the Ranger. With the rear bumper kit, two ZROADZ 6" Straight Single Row Slim LED Light Bars fit low and provide great rear illumination. The bar's combo beam, 2,921 lumens, 30 watts and CREE 5W LED Chips provide great back up lights or scene lighting. Like the pods, the bar is made out of mild steel and bolts on to factory bolt mounting locations. You can also get the brackets in a package that does not include the lights if you desire to use a different light than what is included. No matter which kit you pick, you'll love how easy driving on treacherous trails is with ZROADZ pods and bars!

AMP Research has just released some awesome new running boards for the 2020 Super Duty. One of the big things that Ford is pushing with the latest line is that they have more technology than in previous years. Why should your running boards be any different? Luckily AMP Research has got you covered with these innovative PowerStep boards that are made with durable materials to provide enough strength to propel you into your cab and then tuck away for a sleek look. Each PowerStep board serves a specific purpose. If you live in an area that gets a lot of snow for example, then the Xtreme model is perfect for you. The reason for this is because the Xtreme model specifically has an aggressive design for extreme traction. If you are after something a little bit more simple, then the PowerStep Plug N Play is for you. The Plug N Play includes all necessary hardware for installation and features a design that includes waterproof motors that are encased in a waterproof housing. Lastly, if you want the grand-daddy of them all, then you are after the Powerstep XL, Currently, for the 2020s we have the XL for Crew Cab F250s with more selection on the way. The XL sits about three inches lower than the other two running boards and has an integrated LED lighting system that lights up the rail that is constructed with 6063 Marine Grade aluminum. The XL is also created with die-cast aluminum allot components with an anodized and PTFE coated, Military spec finish to resist corrosion. Take your pick and check out these products and more here at Stage 3 Motorsports.

Our friends at Rigid Industries have done it yet again. The Adapt E-Series LED Light Bars feature technology that no other manufacturer has duplicated! When blazing down off-road trails, you won't find anything better than this Rigid light bar. The Adapt Series switches optics on the fly, so you don't need multiple off-road LED light bars with different beam patterns. The light bar includes scene, driving and spot beam patterns for whatever situation you need. This is accomplished through fully automatic Active View™ internal GPS technology; the bar instantaneously changes the optic's beam pattern based on your vehicle's speed, with a wider scene beam at lower speeds, a moderately wide driving beam at medium speeds and a spot beam at high speeds. The light bar can also use all of the lights at once instead of interchangeably. The bar's aluminum alloy housing with heat sinks and thick, impact-resistant polycarbonate lens will hold up against any obstacles you encounter. A pressure equalizing vent and black exposed printed circuit board also are essential features. Besides the light bar, this kit includes stainless steel mounting brackets, hardware kit, wiring harness, switch and relay for excellence. Please note that this light bar is only legal off-road and cannot be used on the street.

Poor rake and tiny stance are among the biggest gripes about the 2019-2020 Ford Ranger. Leveling kits allow you to fix this by adding lift, fixing rake and allowing for larger tires. Traxda's assortment of leveling kits reduce your Ranger's rake and offers more tire clearance for a mean look and off-road capability. Multiple kits include front strut spacers, rear blocks and combinations of both in various heights. The leveling spacers and rear blocks are built tough with a high-strength, laser cut USA Mill Certified Steel which makes them corrosion resistant against whatever you may encounter. The kit directly bolts on without drilling or other modifications, making installation a breeze compared to other leveling kits on the market. With a black powder coat finish, the kit will last a long time and look sleek underneath your truck. Made in America, you'll love any of these kits on your Ranger!

The 2019-2020 Ford Ranger looks nice, but exterior upgrades are always nice to give your truck a unique style. If you replaced the factory grille with something more fierce, then you shouldn't neglect the lower grille in your factory bumper. The lower grille looks a bit vanilla, so modifying it will help the truck look more complete! The Putco Hex Style Lower Grille Insert uses a hexagonal pattern for an aggressive appearance but also still allows airflow through to the intercoolers of the Ranger. The grille helps break up the unimpressive, black plastic middle of the bumper grille and features a black powdercoat. Its high quality stainless steel construction will resist corrosion and won't break easily like cheap alternatives. It is important to know if the factory license plate bracket is mounted in front of the lower bumper opening, then it will need to be moved for the grille insert to fit properly. This part also comes in a two versions: one that fits Rangers with adaptive cruise control and another that fits Rangers without adaptive cruise control. Either way, Putco's Hex Style Lower Grille Insert should be high on your list of potential modifications.

ADD's wheels are now available to order, so grab your set today!

The stock 2019-2020 Ford Ranger suspension leaves a lot to be desired with its puny stance. A big disappointment are the factory upper control arms, which limit performance when paired with other suspension upgrades. Camburg 1.25" FK Uniball Upper Control Arms are a great choice to accompany your aftermarket leveling upgrades! Designed for 1-3" of lift, you'll have plenty of options to pair it with the leveling kit of your dreams. The Camburg UCA replaces the stock ball-joint with an FK 1.25" uni-ball bearing; this allows for greater wheel travel and better durability in extreme off-road conditions. The Camburg UCAs use more caster and alter the camber curve for proper vehicle alignment; driving characteristics and vehicle handling will thus be improved with this product. The UCAs use CNC laser cut, MIG welded tubes and a 4130 chromoly construction to withstand obstacles that you might encounter on your next excursion. A steel gray powder coat also protects against corrosion and looks gorgeous underneath your Ranger. You'll be hard pressed to find a better UCA than the American made Camburg part!

The 2019-2020 Ford Ranger sounds okay, but an aftermarket exhaust can add a more unique look with a better sound. MBRP's Cat-Back, Dual Split Rear Exit Exhaust Systems are a great option for you to bring more excellence to your 2019 or 2020 Ford Ranger. The systems' wide open throttle produces a smooth climbing note with an uplifting groan! The mild and deep tone will sound great both on the street and off-road paths! The exhaust kits use 3" to 2.5" mandrel-bent tubing with a split rear exit layout. The dual tips add a whole new look to your truck build. You have the choice of an aluminized steel tip, black aluminized steel tip, and a 304 stainless steel tip to best meet your vision. The system comes with hang tight clamps that fit in original factory hanger locations. It's all available now at Stage 3 Motorsports!

Stock paper air filters need to be a thing of the past due to their poor lifespan and the frequent cost of replacing one. Thankfully, there are aftermarket, reusable air filters that improve the performance of the 2019 Ford Ranger.

Because of this design, your Ranger will enjoy boosts in horsepower and acceleration when cruising down the road. With a reusable and washable filter, you won't miss having to buy a new paper one all the time. The part's multiple layered, cotton gauze, non-woven synthetic, and red oiled filter media excels and you can trust the quality components Airaid used.

While there are many premier lighting manufacturers, Diode Dynamics has made a mark on the aftermarket lighting world once again. If light bars aren't for you and you want a more compact LED light, then Diode Dynamics' compact 3" SS3 Pods are the option for you. Despite their small stature, the pods emit plenty of light to ensure a quality package. This can partly be credited to the pod's excellent TIR optic for better efficiency and focus than typical lenses. The lights come in four different beam patterns: driving, fog, spot and flood for different street or off-road situations. Each beam pattern also features a Sport model and a Pro model, and while both are great lights, the Pro features twice the power of the Sport. You have the choice of white or amber color, with the amber being better for bad weather conditions or if you want a different look. Each pod features a round or square design with mounting brackets or a flush mount. The flush mount allows for different fitment placements on your vehicle, like on the bumper and truck bed for rear visibility. Besides included mounting hardware, you will also receive Deutsch-style wire pigtails for operation. The pods additionally have a pin-fin heatsink design for a more efficient thermal dissipation. To power up to two pods, you'll need to add a Light Duty Dual Output Light Bar Wiring Harness. If you plan on installing more than two of Diode's lights, then a Heavy Duty Wiring Harness will be required. Stage 3 Motorsports is ready to set you up with some SS3 Pods today!

The 2019 Ford Ranger is a nice truck, but its stock height just isn't ideal for any off-road enthusiast. Adding a leveling kit is just what you need to add lift and large tires onto your build, but it can quickly become expensive. If you're on a budget but still want a leveling option that's quality and safe, you're not out of luck. FactionFab's new 2.5" Leveling Spacers reduce your Ranger's rake and offers more tire clearance for a mean look and off-road capability. The leveling spacers are built tough with a high-strength CNC machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum, coated flared nuts, and coated steel studs which makes them corrosion resistant against whatever you may encounter. The kit directly bolts on between the factory top hat and the frame without drilling or other modifications, making installation a breeze compared to other leveling kits on the market.

The 2011-2016 Super Duty already has a pretty assertive look straight off of the showroom floor. However, you can still give it an upgrade that not only makes it look tougher but also is practical enough that you can explain it later on. These new headlights from ANZO provide a more aggressive and tough look that is a serious upgrade over the traditional headlights that come stock thanks to their plank-style design. These lights are designed and engineered with computer-assisted design technology that ensures vehicle specific fit in addition to a scientifically proven stronger beam from your headlights. ANZO also ensured that your truck gets a slight modern upgrade by adding in LED amber accent strips to these headlights. Each headlight also comes with a one year warranty for your peace of mind. There are two different housings that we offer in these lights, the first is a sharp Chrome and the second is an aggressive black. ANZO also included plug-and-play installation that is advertised to take half an hour at most.

Just because the 2019 Ford Ranger is too close to the ground in its stock form doesn't mean it has to stay that way! As an off-road traveler, you need a vehicle that offers more clearance. Your Ranger's rear also shouldn't be condemned to sag from heavy accessories in the rear. Small, stock wheels and tires additionally are lame and you need something much meaner for most of our tastes. While you could pick up one of our many leveling kits to fix these problems, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more complete package than a lift kit from BDS! The 6" IFS Lift Kit is exactly what you need for off-road suspension, steering and driveline geometry. The ride height and improved performance is accomplished with a strut spacer, a preload spacer, crossmembers, drop brackets, lift blocks and u-bolts. You also get the option to add on Fox 2.0 or BDS NX2 Shocks, a UCA kit, intrusion beams and rear shackles to further improve stance and performance. When fully installed, you will not see a significant drop-off from factory ride quality. The suspension system also allows for fitment of up to 35" tires. Don't trust other leveling kits that overextend CVs at full droop, and let the BDS 6" IFS Lift Kit improve your mighty 2019 Ford Ranger build!

If the 2.3L EcoBoost isn't getting the results you need, then consider installing the Roush Cold Air Intake without any cutting or modifications!
