Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 126 was established in order to prevent injury and accident by placing new regulations on the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) to prevent single vehicle rollovers. To make sure that vehicle and aftermarket manufacturers are compliant with the new standards, Link Engineering Co. opens up their proving grounds testing facility outside of Phoenix, Arizona to put products like the newest ReadyLIFT® Suspension kits through the gauntlet.

The rigorous testing involves the installation of a custom testing robot and computer system onto the vehicle. After this the vehicle being tested is run through the test track performing a series of ever growing steering adjustments and corrections. The robot can calculate all of the forces and check whether the vehicle is performing within the standards. If the suspension on the vehicle is flawed in its design, then the vehicle may experience larger and unsafe forces when making quick steering movements. A well designed suspension system is crucial not only for ride comfort, but for safety as well. The ReadyLIFT Off Road Series 3 Suspension Lift for the Ford F250 Super Duty Models passed well within all testing parameters and is a credit to the R&D of the ReadyLIFT engineering team.
