The Bilstein 2"-3" Front Lift Kit is purpose-built for the Ford Ranger PX1 (2011-2015) and PX2 (2015-2018), pairing Bilstein's B6 Offroad monotube shock absorbers with King raised coil springs to deliver a genuine 2 to 3 inch front lift. The monotube design separates oil and gas to reduce foaming under sustained corrugation work, while the raised springs open up clearance for 33"-35" tyres and bar work. Every kit is dispatched from Australian stock and backed by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty, with our team on hand to confirm fitment against your exact PX1 or PX2 build before you buy. Check the full lift kit range if you're also sorting the rear end.

Lift height compliance: Suspension lifts of this size may exceed your state's allowable limit without engineering certification. Check your state's light vehicle modification rules (VSB14/NCOP) before fitting.
Choose your King raised spring rate based on what sits on the front end permanently — a steel bull bar, winch and driving lights add constant load that a standard-rate spring wasn't designed for. Common front-end accessories affecting spring selection include bull bars, winches, driving light bars and bash plates. If you're unsure of your combined front accessory weight, our team can help match spring rate to your setup before you order.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a qualified DIYer with the correct spring compressors and torque specs on hand. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting — the lift changes camber and caster angles at the front axle. Allow a 500km break-in period for the King springs to settle before final alignment. At the 3" lift height, pair this kit with control arm upgrades to correct CV joint angles and restore steering geometry.
Bilstein has supplied monotube shock technology to 4WD and touring vehicle owners across Australia for decades, with the B6 Offroad range specifically valved for lifted suspension applications. Kits are backed by a manufacturer warranty and supported by our Australian-based fitment team who can confirm spring rate and shock length for your PX1 or PX2 build. Tradespeople and tourers running the Ranger daily trust the B6 Offroad line for its balance of on-road comfort and load-carrying control — view the full Bilstein range for rear-end options.
This kit suits Ranger PX1/PX2 owners fitting a bull bar and winch, tradies carrying tools and equipment daily, and tourers wanting clearance for larger tyres before a remote trip. If you're regularly carrying variable loads or towing a van, also look at our airbag suspension options to control rear sag under weight.
This Bilstein front lift kit is in stock in Australia for fast dispatch, with our team ready to confirm fitment against your PX1 or PX2 build spec. Browse our full lift kit range to complete your Ranger's suspension setup front and rear.

Yes, this Bilstein kit is designed specifically for the Ford Ranger PX1 (2011-2015) and PX2 (2015-2018) in 2.2L and 3.2L diesel variants. Fitment is front-end only, so check your rear suspension needs separately if you're also fitting leaf springs. If you're running non-standard wheels, a bull bar or a GVM upgrade, contact our team to confirm your specific combination before ordering.
This kit provides a 2" to 3" front lift, depending on the King raised spring rate selected and the weight of accessories fitted to your Ranger. The B6 Offroad shocks are valved to suit this lift range so damping stays correct at ride height. Actual lift can vary slightly from vehicle to vehicle based on chassis wear and accessory load.
Please note that all assembled struts are dispatched at a height based on our experience and the manufacturer’s specifications for the advertised lift. Coil springs and leaf springs are also manufactured according to the advertised height and constant-load rating. Actual vehicle height may vary depending on the vehicle and the weight of fitted accessories. Further adjustment may therefore be required after installation. The installer may use coil spacers or adjust the struts at their discretion to achieve the desired height. We are not responsible for vehicle-specific height variations or any additional adjustments required after installation.
The kit includes 2 x Bilstein B6 Offroad monotube front shock absorbers and 2 x King 2"-3" raised front coil springs, along with the mounting hardware and bushes needed for front-end fitment. Rear shocks and springs are sold separately, as are control arms. See the full kit contents list above for exact inclusions.
This is a front lift kit, so it primarily affects steering, ride height and front load control rather than tow ball weight, which is carried at the rear. For Rangers towing regularly, we'd recommend matching this front kit with a rear leaf spring or airbag upgrade to manage rear sag under tow weight. Talk to our team about a front-and-rear combination suited to your trailer or caravan weight.
At the 2" setting most PX1/PX2 owners run standard control arms without issue, but at the full 3" lift, CV joint and steering angles can be pushed outside factory tolerance. We recommend upgraded control arms at 3" to correct geometry and reduce CV wear. Our team can advise based on your exact lift height and driving conditions.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit. The raised ride height changes front camber and caster, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and steering feel. We recommend allowing a 500km settling period for the King springs before your final alignment is done.
King raised springs for this kit are available to suit different constant front-end loads, such as a bull bar and winch versus a lighter driving light setup. Selecting the correct rate keeps ride height consistent and avoids the front sagging under permanent accessory weight. Contact our team with your accessory list and we'll confirm the right spring rate for your Ranger.
A 2"-3" front lift typically clears 33"-35" tyres depending on your wheel width, offset and whether any body mods are done. Rubbing can still occur at full steering lock or full compression without corresponding trimming or flares. We can advise on tyre and wheel combinations that suit this lift height for your specific PX1 or PX2 model.
This kit is covered by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty on the B6 Offroad shock absorbers and King coil springs. Warranty terms cover manufacturing defects under normal off-road and on-road use. Keep your proof of purchase and installation details, and contact our team if you need to make a warranty claim.
Yes, the B6 Offroad monotube shocks are valved to balance daily on-road comfort with off-road control, so the Ranger remains predictable in traffic and at highway speed. Many PX1/PX2 owners run this kit as their daily setup while still getting the clearance benefit for weekend touring. Ride quality will feel firmer than factory but should not feel harsh under normal driving loads.
