Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride height, comfort, and component longevity. King Springs are available in multiple load ratings to match your constant accessory load — the combined weight of accessories permanently fitted to your Ranger. Common front accessories include aftermarket steel bullbars (60-80kg), winches (30-45kg), heavy-duty batteries, auxiliary lighting, upgraded intercoolers, and dual battery systems. Do not select spring rates based on occasional loads such as camping gear, tools, or towing — overrating your springs will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and may place excessive stress on suspension components like ball joints and bushes. When ordering, accurately calculate only your permanent front-end weight to ensure the perfect balance between lift, comfort, and load support.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this lift kit to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety compliance. While experienced DIY mechanics with appropriate spring compressor tools can perform the installation, improper spring compression presents serious safety risks. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and ensure proper steering geometry — expect camber, caster, and toe adjustments to be required. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle and shocks to bed in before final ride height assessment. For lifts approaching or exceeding 50mm, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore optimal suspension geometry and maximise ball joint lifespan.

This Bilstein 2" front lift kit is engineered specifically for Ford Ranger PX1 (2011-2015) and PX2 (2015-2018) models across all cab configurations including single cab, super cab, and dual cab variants. It fits both 2.2L and 3.2L turbo diesel engine variants with standard factory front suspension. If you have an aftermarket lift already installed or non-standard suspension components, please contact our team to confirm compatibility before ordering. The kit does not fit PX3 or current generation Rangers which require different part numbers.
This kit provides 50mm (2 inches) of front lift when fitted with the appropriate spring rate for your constant accessory load. The lift height is designed to restore factory rake after fitting heavy front-end accessories like bullbars, winches, and upgraded bumpers, bringing the front back to level with the rear. Actual lift height can vary by 10-15mm depending on spring rate selection and total front accessory weight. If you require a completely level stance or additional lift, you may need to pair this with a rear lift kit or block kit to achieve your desired vehicle posture.
This complete front lift kit includes 2 x Bilstein B6 Offroad Performance monotube shock absorbers pre-assembled with 2 x King Spring front coil springs in your selected load rating. The shocks come fully assembled with springs, top mounts, and boots for straightforward installation. The kit does not include upper control arms, brake line extensions, diff drop kits, or rear suspension components — these are sold separately if required. All necessary fitting instructions and torque specifications are provided with the kit.
Yes, this Bilstein B6 Offroad front lift kit is excellent for towing applications as it restores proper front-end height and maintains steering control when tongue weight from caravans or trailers loads the rear suspension. The monotube design provides consistent damping performance during extended highway towing without fade. However, this kit only addresses the front suspension — for optimal towing performance you should also upgrade your rear suspension with either a rear lift kit, airbags, or heavy-duty rear shocks to handle towball weight and maintain a level towing stance. Proper weight distribution hitch setup is also recommended for caravans over 2000kg.
At 50mm of lift, upgraded control arms are not mandatory but are highly recommended to restore optimal suspension geometry and extend ball joint life. Factory control arms will still function with this lift height, but camber and caster angles will be pushed to the outer limits of adjustment range. If you plan to add larger tyres (over 32 inches), drive aggressively off-road, or want the best possible steering feel and tyre wear characteristics, aftermarket extended control arms with improved geometry are a worthwhile investment. Our suspension specialists can recommend compatible control arm options during your order.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit including this Bilstein front kit. Lifting the front suspension alters camber, caster, and toe angles significantly from factory specifications, which will cause rapid and uneven tyre wear if not corrected. Most alignment shops can restore angles to within acceptable ranges using factory adjustment points for a 50mm lift. The alignment should be performed after the 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled to their final height. Budget $150-250 for a quality four-wheel alignment at a 4WD-experienced alignment shop.
Yes, King Springs are available in multiple load ratings to precisely match your constant front accessory weight, and you must select the appropriate rate when ordering. Constant load includes only permanently fitted accessories like bullbars, winches, dual batteries, and upgraded bumpers — not occasional loads like camping gear or tools. Common ratings range from light (stock accessories plus 20-40kg), medium (full bullbar and winch 60-80kg), to heavy (expedition bumpers and equipment over 80kg). Selecting a spring rate that is too heavy for your actual load will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and may damage suspension components through excessive pre-load.
With a 50mm front lift and standard offset wheels, most Ford Ranger PX1/PX2 owners can comfortably fit up to 32-inch tyres (265/70R17 or 265/75R16) with minimal to no rubbing on factory wheels. For 33-inch tyres you may require minor trimming of plastic inner guards and potentially a small body lift or wheel spacers depending on wheel offset and tyre brand. Tyre fitment also depends on your rear lift height — a balanced lift front and rear provides the best clearance. Always test fit and turn tyres full lock before committing to a tyre size, as different tyre brands vary in actual width and diameter despite identical size markings.
This Bilstein B6 Offroad lift kit is covered by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, typically 2 years or 40,000km for shock absorbers when installed by a qualified professional. King Springs carry their own manufacturer warranty coverage, usually 3 years. Warranty claims require proof of professional fitment and proper maintenance records. The warranty covers manufacturing defects but does not cover damage from improper installation, overloading beyond rated capacity, accident damage, or normal wear items. Always retain your purchase receipt and installation invoice for warranty validation.
Absolutely — Bilstein B6 Offroad shocks are specifically engineered to balance exceptional off-road control with comfortable daily driving characteristics. The monotube design and digressive valve tuning provide a noticeably firmer ride than factory shocks (especially when unladen), but remain composed and comfortable on highways and urban roads. Most Ranger owners report improved steering response, reduced body roll in corners, and better stability when towing compared to worn factory suspension. The ride quality is best described as "firm but controlled" rather than harsh, making it ideal for vehicles that see mixed daily commuting, weekend touring, and occasional off-road adventures.
Proper Kit for Serious Remote Work
Been running this Bilstein 2 inch front lift on my PX2 for about 8 months now, covering everything from the Canning Stock Route to Cape York wet season tracks. The ride quality with these B6 shocks and King Springs is noticeably better than my mate's cheaper setup – actually soaks up the corrugations instead of just rattling your fillings loose. Worth every cent if you're putting genuine hours in the scrub rather than just mall crawling.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted this Bilstein 2 inch front lift kit to our PX2 Ranger about three months back and it's been brilliant for our monthly camping trips down the coast and out bush. The ride quality is noticeably smoother than stock, even when we're loaded up with the camper trailer and all the kids' gear. Installation was straightforward and the pre-assembled setup with the King Springs saved heaps of time in the workshop.(5)
Perfect for the Ranger, no regrets
Had the Bilstein 2 inch lift fitted to my PX2 a few months back and it's been brilliant for daily drives to site and weekend tracks up the high country. The ride quality is noticeably smoother than the old setup, even with a tonne of tools in the tray. Fitment was spot on and my mechanic said the quality of the shocks and springs was top shelf.(5)
Perfect for loaded touring in the outback
Been running this Bilstein 2 inch lift kit on my PX2 for the past 8 months through some pretty rough Central Australian tracks, and the difference is night and day. The ride quality loaded up with gear, water, and recovery equipment is significantly better than the old setup, and it handles corrugations without the jarring harshness I expected. Fitment was spot on and the King Springs paired with the B6 shocks seem perfectly matched for our conditions.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted this Bilstein 2 inch lift kit to our PX2 Ranger before our Cape York trip and couldn't be happier with the results. The ride quality is noticeably smoother than the old setup, even with the camper trailer loaded up, and the kids don't complain about the corrugations anymore. Installation was straightforward and the height is spot-on for the 33s we wanted to run. Well worth the investment for serious touring.(5)
