The Quigley Trail

The Quigley Trail is OZK Customs' signature exterior and suspension package for the Ford Transit. It's five specific components — chosen through hundreds of installations and real-world testing — that give your Transit the ground clearance, ride quality, protection, and presence it needs to go from work van to adventure-ready platform.

This isn't a full interior build, a parts catalog, or a wish list. The Quigley Trail is a defined package: a factory-approved lift, performance shocks front and rear, heavy-duty side steps, and a custom front-end treatment that sets your Transit apart from every other van on the road. Every component is professionally installed as a single coordinated job by our team — one of only seven Quigley-authorized shops in the entire country.

Most of our Quigley Trail customers go further — adding interior buildouts, electrical systems, climate control, and other upgrades from our menu. But the Quigley Trail itself is the foundation. It's where every serious OZK build starts.

If you've been searching for a Ford Transit Trail, here's what you need to know: Ford discontinued it. The Transit Trail was a limited-production, adventure-oriented trim of the Ford Transit with unique paint options, all-terrain tires, and some cosmetic upgrades — but no suspension lift and no real increase in off-road capability over a standard Transit. It looked the part without delivering the performance to back it up.

The Quigley Trail is what the Transit Trail should have been. Instead of cosmetic trim changes, the Quigley Trail starts with a factory-approved 2-inch lift from Quigley — the company Ford trusts to engineer suspension systems for the Transit platform. Add Bilstein B6 performance shocks front and rear, heavy-duty side steps, and a custom Raptor grill with amber running lights, and you have a lifted Ford Transit that actually performs off-road — not one that just looks like it might.

Whether you were waiting for the Transit Trail to come back, shopping for a used one, or looking into Ford Transit Trail recall issues — the answer is the same. The Quigley Trail gives you a more capable vehicle with a factory-backed suspension, professional installation, and the option to build out the interior, electrical, and climate systems however you want. OZK can even source your Transit at dealer volume pricing, so you start with the right van and build the Quigley Trail package on top of it.

Every Quigley Trail build starts where the rubber meets the road. The Quigley Q-Lift suspension system is a factory-approved 2-inch lift engineered specifically for the Ford Transit. Unlike aftermarket lift kits that void warranties and compromise ride quality, the Q-Lift is designed in partnership with Ford and maintains your factory powertrain warranty when installed by an authorized dealer. OZK Customs is one of only seven authorized Quigley Q-Lift installers in the entire United States — a distinction that reflects both our technical capability and our commitment to doing things the right way.

The Q-Lift provides the ground clearance you need for fire roads, forest service trails, and rough campsites without sacrificing the on-road manners that make the Transit livable as a daily driver. It's a precision-engineered system that maintains factory steering geometry, preserves alignment specs, and keeps the van's center of gravity where Ford intended it — critical when you're building a vehicle that may carry a full living space on its back.

Paired with the Q-Lift, the Bilstein B6 front struts and rear shocks complete the suspension — monotube dampers designed specifically for lifted Transits. The Bilstein B6 uses a high-pressure monotube design that dissipates heat faster than twin-tube shocks, delivering consistent damping performance whether you're loaded down on a highway or crawling through washboard gravel. The result is a suspension that feels planted and controlled in every condition, with none of the body roll or wallowing that plagues vans running stock shocks on a lifted platform.
