The Dobinsons Monotube Quick-Lift Kit for the Ford Ranger PX3 (2018-2022) pairs pre-assembled monotube front struts with coil springs and extended rear shackles for a 2" front and 1" rear lift, fitted without disassembling the strut on the bench. Monotube construction gives a larger fluid volume than a comparable twin-tube for steadier damping under load, and the front coils are matched to common bullbar and winch weights. At the rear, the extended shackles work with your existing leaf pack, paired with a fresh set of shock absorbers for the lift. Dispatched from Australian stock with manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Front spring choice comes down to what you're carrying on the nose of the truck — a steel bullbar, winch, spotlights and a bigger battery all add constant weight that a standard-rate spring wasn't designed for. Tell us your accessory list and we'll match the correct front coil rate so the Ranger sits level rather than sagging on one side. Common items to account for: steel or alloy bullbar, winch, dual battery tray, and driving light bars.
This kit suits an experienced DIY fitter with a hoist and spring compressor, or your regular workshop — the pre-assembled front struts remove one of the more time-consuming steps of a lift install. Wheel alignment is mandatory once the kit is fitted, since ride height and castor angle both change. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the shocks and shackle bushes to settle before fine-tuning tyre pressures for the new ride height. If you're running larger tyres or want to correct front geometry, pair this kit with our upgraded control arms.
Dobinsons has been building 4WD suspension components for decades, with front and rear kits specified for the load and geometry of individual models rather than sold as one-size-fits-all. This Monotube Quick-Lift kit for the PX3 Ranger is backed by manufacturer warranty and is a common fitment for tourers and tradies alike. You can view the full Dobinsons suspension range for matching rear leaf springs, torsion bars and steering dampers.
This kit suits Ranger PX3 owners fitting a bullbar and winch, running a canopy for trade work, or preparing for remote touring with a rooftop tent and extra fuel. If you're regularly hauling a caravan or heavy trailer and need load-levelling beyond a spring upgrade, ask us about adding airbag suspension to this setup.

Yes, this Dobinsons Monotube Quick-Lift Kit is specified for the Ford Ranger PX3 built from 2018 to 2022, covering both the 2.0L Bi-Turbo and 3.2L 5-cylinder diesel variants. It is not designed for earlier PX or PX2 Rangers, which use different front strut mounts and leaf spring geometry. If you're unsure which series you have, check your compliance plate or use our parts finder for the Ranger PX3. Our team can confirm fitment against your VIN before you order.
This kit gives a 2" front lift from the pre-assembled monotube struts and coil springs, and a 1" rear lift from the extended shackles working with your factory leaf pack. That combination is a common setup for fitting a modest increase in tyre size while keeping the factory ride characteristics. Front and rear heights are matched so the Ranger sits level rather than nose-up or rear-sagging once accessories are fitted.
The kit includes 2 x Dobinsons monotube front struts pre-assembled with coil springs, 2 x Dobinsons rear shock absorbers, and 2 x extended rear shackles with mounting hardware. Fitting instructions are included, and the rear shackles are designed to lift your existing leaf spring pack rather than replace it. Upper control arms are not included and are available separately if you need corrected front geometry.
Yes, the rear shocks and shackles are specified to work with the standard Ranger leaf pack under typical towing and touring loads. If you're towing a heavy caravan regularly, ask us about pairing this kit with a higher-rated rear leaf spring or adding airbag suspension for extra load levelling. The front coil springs in this kit are matched to bullbar and winch weight, not additional trailer ball weight, so tell us your towing setup when ordering.
Not strictly, but it's worth considering at this lift height. A 2" front lift changes castor angle slightly, and upgraded control arms correct that geometry and can improve CV joint angles on the PX3. Many customers fit this Quick-Lift kit first and add control arms later if they notice uneven tyre wear or want the front end optimised further.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The 2" front and 1" rear lift changes ride height, castor and toe settings, and skipping alignment will accelerate tyre wear. We recommend booking an alignment immediately after fitment and again after the 500km bedding-in period.
Yes, Dobinsons offers the front coil springs in this kit in different rates to suit your accessory load — bullbar, winch and driving lights all add constant weight to the front axle. Tell our team what's fitted to your Ranger and we'll confirm the correct front spring rate before dispatch. Rear spring rate in this kit is governed by your existing leaf pack, since the shackles lift rather than replace it.
The 2" front and 1" rear lift from this kit typically opens up clearance for a moderate tyre size increase over stock, though exact clearance depends on your wheel offset and any flares fitted. We recommend checking your intended tyre size against your rim width and offset before ordering, or contacting our team for guidance specific to your PX3.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, which applies to manufacturing defects in the struts, shocks, springs and shackles. Warranty claims are handled through 4WD Suspension as your Australian supplier, with our team assisting on the paperwork. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes, this kit is designed to suit Rangers used for daily driving as well as touring and towing. The monotube front struts and matched coil springs keep on-road handling stable at the 2" lift height, while the rear shocks are tuned for the 1" shackle lift rather than an aggressive off-road-only setup. It suits owners who use their Ranger for work and weekends rather than purely for remote-track driving.
