Two different things. Here is which one you need — and who actually does each.
The Quigley Q-Lift is a 2-inch suspension lift for the Ford Transit. It is not a 4x4 conversion. Those two get tangled together constantly — same brand name, very different jobs — and people lose weeks pursuing the wrong one. Plain words, so you don't.
OZK Customs does no drivetrain conversions — on any platform, any year. We do not convert 2WD vans to 4x4 or AWD. We do not install transfer cases, front axles, or driveshafts. Not on Transits, not on Sprinters or ProMasters, not on a 1979 anything. If a shop tells you they'll bolt 4x4 into your van, ask hard questions — drivetrain engineering is a factory-scale job, and it is exactly the work we decline.
Because the difference between a lift and a drivetrain conversion is the difference between carpentry and surgery. A drivetrain conversion re-engineers how the vehicle puts power to the ground — gearing, electronics, geometry, the whole system. Quigley has spent decades doing exactly that at their own facility in Pennsylvania, on thousands of Ford vans. That is where the conversion itself belongs. Bolting that job into a general shop is how vans end up with fault codes, driveline noise, and nobody standing behind the result.
We are one of about 7 authorized Quigley Q-Lift installers in the United States. The Q-Lift is Quigley's suspension system for the Ford Transit — a true 2-inch chassis lift (not a body lift) that adds real clearance while keeping factory ride behavior, available for both AWD and 2WD Transits. We install it constantly: kits in stock (we keep up to five on the shelf), the install takes 3-4 days, and you're typically on the books within 1-4 weeks. We also build everything around it — the Quigley Trail lifted-Transit package, full suspension and lift work, and complete custom builds on lifted platforms.
You have a Transit and want clearance and stance: the Q-Lift is the answer — see our Quigley Q-Lift page for the full system details. You have a 2WD van and want it to become 4x4/AWD: that is a drivetrain conversion — for Ford vans, that conversation goes to Quigley directly; they do the conversion at their facility, and we're glad to build out the van before or after. You want AWD and don't own the van yet: simplest path of all — the Transit comes AWD from the factory; we'll help you source the right one and lift it from day one. You have a Sprinter or ProMaster: the Q-Lift doesn't fit them, full stop — but suspension upgrades exist for both; see ProMaster and suspension packages for what actually works per platform.
No. The Q-Lift is a 2-inch suspension lift system engineered by Quigley for the Ford Transit — it raises the chassis and improves clearance. A 4x4/AWD conversion changes the drivetrain (transfer case, front axle, driveshafts). Quigley performs drivetrain conversions at their own facility; OZK installs the Q-Lift kit and does not modify drivetrains.
No — on any platform. OZK does not convert 2WD vehicles to 4x4 or AWD, does not swap transfer cases or axles, and does not modify drivetrains. We are one of about 7 authorized Quigley Q-Lift installers in the US: we install the lift system and build out the van around it.
No — the Q-Lift is engineered specifically for the Ford Transit (AWD and 2WD). Sprinter and ProMaster suspension work is a different conversation with different products; the Q-Lift itself does not fit them.
The install itself takes 3-4 days (four with an alignment). We keep Q-Lift kits in stock — up to five on the shelf as standing practice — and you are typically on the books within 1-4 weeks. Many customers drive in, spend a few days in Northwest Arkansas, and drive home done.
