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 rear leaf spring rate based on the constant load you carry, not just your maximum GVM. Common front accessories affecting spring choice include bullbars, winches and driving light bars, while rear-side considerations include canopies, dual batteries, water tanks, drawer systems and caravan or camper trailer tow ball weight. If you regularly carry near-constant weight, the 400kg rated leaf spring keeps the rear sitting level; lighter tourers without a loaded canopy generally suit the 300kg option.
This kit is a bolt-on upgrade but involves spring and shock removal under load, so professional fitment or experienced DIY installers with a hoist and spring compressor are recommended. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct camber, caster and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the King Springs and Bilstein shocks to settle before fine-tuning tyre pressures. For PX3s running 2" or more of lift, pairing this kit with upgraded control arms corrects front-end geometry and CV angles.
Bilstein has supplied monotube shock technology to Australian 4WD owners for decades, and the Offroad Performance range in this kit is tuned specifically for local touring and towing conditions. Every kit is backed by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty, administered through our team for local claims support. Tradespeople and long-distance tourers both rely on this shock platform for consistent damping over corrugations and under load; view the full Bilstein range to compare other applications.
This kit suits Ranger PX3 owners running a canopy, camper trailer or caravan who need a rear spring rated for constant load without the ride turning harsh unladen. It's also a solid fit for tradies carrying tools and equipment daily, and for tourers wanting extra approach clearance for tracks. If your load varies significantly trip to trip, our airbag suspension options can complement this kit for adjustable load support.
This Bilstein kit is in stock and dispatches from Australian stock, with our team available to confirm spring rate selection for your PX3 before you order. Browse our full lift kit range to compare other options for your Ranger.

Yes, this Bilstein kit is built for the Ford Ranger PX3 built from 2018 to 2022, covering both 4x4 dual cab and single cab variants using the standard leaf-sprung rear axle. It suits both the 2.0L Bi-Turbo and 3.2L 5-cylinder diesel drivetrains. If you're unsure which series your Ranger is, our PX3 parts finder will confirm compatibility by VIN or build date. Our team can also check fitment for you directly.
The kit gives a 2" front lift using King Springs raised coil springs, and up to a 3" rear lift depending on which leaf spring rate you select. The exact rear height varies slightly with the load carried, since the leaf spring is rated for a constant weight rather than a fixed unladen height. Bilstein's Offroad Performance shocks are matched in length and travel to suit this lift range front and rear.
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 Offroad Performance front shocks, 2 x Bilstein Offroad Performance rear shocks, 2 x King Springs front coil springs, 2 x King Springs rear leaf springs, plus U-bolts, spring plates, bushes and mounting hardware for a bolt-on fit. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if required. The full breakdown is listed in the Kit Includes section above.
Yes, the rear leaf springs are available in 300kg or 400kg constant load ratings, which is specifically for carrying canopy, tool, or tow ball weight without the rear sagging. Combined with the Bilstein Offroad Performance rear shocks, the kit is designed to keep the Ranger sitting level and controlled when towing a caravan or camper trailer. Select the 400kg rate if you're carrying near-constant weight; the 300kg rate suits lighter, occasional towing loads.
At a 2" front lift, most PX3 owners don't strictly need new control arms, but at the top end of this kit's range, upgraded units help restore correct front-end geometry and CV joint angles. We recommend pairing this kit with our upgraded control arms if you're running the full 3" combination or fitting larger tyres. Our team can advise based on your exact lift height and tyre size.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Raising the vehicle changes camber, caster and toe angles, and an alignment is needed to prevent uneven tyre wear and maintain steering feel. We recommend booking the alignment straight after fitment and again after the 500km bed-in period.
Yes, King Springs offers this kit with selectable front coil rates and rear leaf spring options of 300kg or 400kg constant load, so you can match the springs to your actual accessory and touring load. Choosing the correct rate keeps the Ranger sitting level front and rear rather than relying on maximum-rated springs that ride harsh when empty. Contact our team with your fitted accessories and typical load and we'll help you pick the right combination.
The extra clearance from a 2-3" lift typically allows PX3 owners to run larger tyres than stock, commonly up to around a 33" diameter, subject to correct wheel offset and any rubbing points at full steering lock. Exact tyre clearance depends on wheel width, offset and whether you also fit flares. Our team can confirm the tyre size that will clear cleanly on your specific Ranger setup.
The shocks and springs in this kit are covered by Bilstein and King Springs manufacturer warranties, claimed through our team here in Australia. We handle the warranty process locally rather than requiring you to deal directly with an overseas manufacturer. Contact us before or after purchase if you'd like the specific warranty terms confirmed in writing.
Yes, the Bilstein Offroad Performance monotube shocks are tuned to keep a compliant ride on-road while still handling off-road and towing duty, so the Ranger doesn't feel harsh commuting or on the highway. Correct spring rate selection matters here too — an over-rated rear spring on a lightly loaded ute will feel firmer day to day. If daily comfort is your priority, tell our team your typical load so we can suggest the right spring rate.
