Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride height, handling and comfort — always choose springs based on your constant accessory load (equipment permanently installed on the vehicle). Front constant loads include aluminium or steel bull bars, winches, secondary batteries, long range fuel tanks and heavy-duty bash plates. Rear constant loads include aluminium canopies, steel canopies, drawer systems, dual battery setups, water tanks, roof racks and permanently mounted equipment. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, towing or payload should NOT be factored into spring selection as choosing overly heavy springs will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride when unladen and may prematurely wear suspension bushes and components.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications and safety compliance. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to correct camber, caster and toe settings and prevent premature tyre wear. All suspension components require a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle and shocks will bed in — expect ride height to drop 10-15mm during this period before stabilising. For lifts approaching 75mm (3 inches), additional modifications including extended control arms, brake line extensions, diff drop kits and potentially adjustable panhard rods may be required to maintain factory geometry and comply with Australian Design Rules — consult an accredited engineer before proceeding with 3 inch configurations.
Bilstein has been the benchmark in monotube shock absorber technology for over 60 years, trusted by European OEMs, motorsport teams and serious 4WD tourers worldwide. Every Bilstein suspension component undergoes rigorous Australian outback testing across corrugations, desert crossings, towing applications and coastal environments to ensure it meets the extreme demands of Australian touring. Backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and a global reputation for durability, Bilstein shocks are the choice of grey nomads, tradespeople and off-road adventurers who refuse to compromise on performance or reliability.
This kit is ideal for PX3 Ranger owners who regularly tour remote Australia, tow heavy caravans or camper trailers, carry substantial payload in trays or canopies, or simply want improved ground clearance and the ability to fit larger all-terrain tyres. Tradespeople carrying constant tool loads, grey nomads towing across the Nullarbor, weekend warriors heading to Cape York, and daily drivers wanting improved ride quality over worn-out factory suspension will all benefit from this engineered upgrade. If you frequently carry variable loads or tow intermittently, consider pairing this lift kit with adjustable airbag suspension for the ultimate in load-levelling flexibility and ride control.
All components are in stock at our Australian warehouse with fast dispatch to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and regional centres across Australia. Our suspension specialists are available to assist with spring rate selection, load calculations and fitment questions — ensuring you get the perfect setup first time.

This kit is specifically engineered to fit all Ford Ranger PX3 (PXIII) models from 2018-2022, including single cab, super cab and dual cab configurations. It also fits the Mazda BT-50 UR/US series (2018-2020) which shares the same platform architecture. The kit includes all necessary hardware and components for a complete bolt-on installation. If you're unsure about your exact model year or variant, check the compliance plate on your vehicle or contact our team with your VIN for confirmation.
This kit delivers between 2 inches (50mm) and 3 inches (75mm) of total lift depending on spring rate selection and your constant accessory load. Vehicles with heavier bull bars, winches and accessories will typically achieve lift closer to 2 inches, while lighter setups may reach 2.5-3 inches. All springs will settle approximately 10-15mm during the first 500km break-in period, so initial post-installation height will be slightly higher than final settled height. The exact lift achieved depends on your vehicle's specific load configuration and selected spring rates.
This comprehensive kit includes 2 x Bilstein Offroad Performance front monotube shocks, 2 x King Springs front coil springs, 2 x Bilstein Offroad Performance rear monotube shocks, 2 x heavy-duty multi-leaf rear springs, 4 x HD U-bolts, a complete polyurethane bush kit, and a tailshaft centre bearing spacer kit. All essential hardware for a complete front and rear suspension upgrade is included in the box. Additional components such as extended brake lines, diff drop kits or control arms are not included and may be required for 3 inch lift configurations — consult a professional installer for specific requirements based on your target lift height.
Absolutely — this Bilstein kit is engineered specifically for Australian touring and towing applications with heavy-duty leaf springs and progressive rate coils that maintain stability under load. The Bilstein Offroad Performance monotube shocks provide superior damping control when towing, eliminating sway and porpoising common with factory suspension. When selecting spring rates, choose based on your constant accessory weight only (canopy, drawers, etc.) — not towing weight, as tongue weight is temporary load. For ultimate towing performance and the ability to adjust for varying loads, consider pairing this kit with supplementary airbag suspension to fine-tune rear ride height and level your vehicle when hitched.
For 2 inch (50mm) lifts, upgraded control arms are generally not required though they can improve alignment settings and provide additional caster correction for better steering feel. For lifts approaching 3 inches (75mm), extended or adjustable control arms become highly recommended to correct suspension geometry, maintain proper ball joint angles and achieve optimal wheel alignment specifications. Upgraded control arms also provide increased wheel travel and articulation for serious off-road use. Consult with your installer and consider an engineering report if planning the full 3 inch configuration, as additional modifications may be required to comply with Australian Design Rules in your state.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit to ensure correct camber, caster and toe settings. Failure to perform alignment after suspension modification will result in rapid and uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics and potential safety issues. The alignment must be performed by a workshop with the capability to adjust lifted vehicles and may require aftermarket alignment adjustment components to achieve correct specifications. Budget for professional alignment costs (typically $150-250) when planning your installation, and have alignment rechecked after the 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled to final height.
Yes, this kit offers selectable spring rates for both front and rear to precisely match your constant accessory load configuration. When ordering, you'll select front spring rates based on your bull bar type (aluminium/steel), winch, secondary batteries and other permanently mounted front accessories. Rear spring rates are selected based on canopy weight, drawer systems, dual batteries and fixed equipment in the tray. It's critical to select spring rates based only on constant loads permanently installed on the vehicle — never factor in occasional loads like camping gear, passengers or towing weight, as over-sprung suspension will ride harshly when unladen and may damage other components through excessive stiffness.
With a 2-3 inch lift, most PX3 Ranger owners can comfortably fit 32 inch tyres (285/70R17 or 265/70R17) without rubbing on standard offset wheels, though minor trimming of plastic inner guards may be required at full lock or compression. Some owners successfully run 33 inch tyres (285/75R17) with offset wheels and additional guard trimming. Tyre fitment also depends on wheel offset, backspacing and specific tyre tread pattern width — aggressive mud terrain tyres tend to require more clearance than all-terrain patterns. Always test fit and check clearance at full steering lock and full suspension compression before committing to larger tyres, and ensure your speedometer is recalibrated if fitting significantly larger diameter tyres than factory specification.
Bilstein Offroad Performance shock absorbers are backed by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, giving you peace of mind for years of touring ahead. King Springs coil and leaf springs carry their own manufacturer warranty against breakage and structural failure. Warranty coverage requires professional installation, proper vehicle use within load ratings, and regular maintenance. Warranty does not cover wear items, damage from accidents, misuse, off-road racing or installation errors. Keep your proof of purchase and installation receipt, and contact us immediately if you experience any issues — we'll work with you to resolve warranty claims quickly and professionally.
Yes, when properly installed with correctly selected spring rates for your load, this Bilstein kit delivers excellent on-road comfort and highway manners suitable for daily commuting and long-distance touring. The Bilstein monotube shock technology provides superior ride quality compared to factory twin-tube shocks, with better damping control, reduced body roll and improved stability at highway speeds. On-road handling characteristics remain predictable and safe at lifts up to 2 inches (50mm), though lifts approaching 3 inches will exhibit slightly reduced stability in emergency manoeuvres due to raised centre of gravity — this is normal for any lifted vehicle. The 3 inch configuration is designated for off-road use and may require engineering certification for road registration in some Australian states, so verify local regulations before proceeding with maximum lift height.
