The Bilstein 2" Front Lift Kit suits the Ford Ranger PX1 (2011-2015) and PX2 (2015-2018), pairing B6 Offroad monotube shock absorbers with King Springs pre-assembled coils for a genuine 2" front lift. Monotube damping separates oil and gas internally, controlling heat build-up better than a twin-tube design when you're carrying a bullbar and winch or towing on the highway. This kit restores factory rake under constant front-end accessory load and lifts front ground clearance for rougher tracks. Backed by full manufacturer warranty, dispatched from Australian stock, with fitment support from our lift kit range specialists.

This front lift kit uses a standard-rate King Spring designed for factory-plus accessory load, so it suits Rangers running a bullbar, winch, and driving lights without oversized additions. If your front end carries a heavier steel bullbar, dual-battery bracket, or aftermarket bumper beyond factory-equivalent weight, tell our team the fitted accessories so we can confirm the spring rate matches your constant load before you order.
This kit is a strut-style front assembly and is best fitted by an experienced 4WD installer or a competent DIYer with the correct strut compression tools. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct camber and caster at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the King Springs to settle before final alignment adjustments. Pair the kit with upgraded control arms if you're chasing corrected control arm geometry and improved CV angles at 2" of lift.
Bilstein has built monotube shock absorbers in Germany for decades, and the B6 Offroad line is tuned specifically for Australian conditions and vehicle platforms like the Ranger PX1/PX2. Every kit we supply carries full manufacturer warranty and is dispatched from local stock, so you're not waiting weeks on freight. Tradespeople and tourers running Rangers daily choose Bilstein for consistent damping performance across highway, gravel, and unsealed running — view the full Bilstein range for matching rear options.
This kit suits Ranger PX1/PX2 owners running a bullbar, winch, or light bar who need the front end lifted back to level. It's a common fit for tradespeople carrying front-mounted equipment and tourers preparing a rig for remote travel. If you're also carrying constant rear payload from a canopy, tools, or camper gear, look at our airbag suspension options to support the rear independently.
In stock in Australia and dispatched fast, with our team on hand to confirm fitment against your Ranger's build date and accessories before you order. Browse our full lift kit range to compare front and rear options for your PX1/PX2.

Yes, this Bilstein kit is built specifically for the Ford Ranger PX1 (2011-2015) and PX2 (2015-2018) front strut assembly. It uses the factory front shock tower and lower control arm mounting points, so no cutting or drilling is needed. If you're unsure which series your Ranger is, check your build plate or send us your VIN and our team will confirm fitment before you order.
This kit delivers a 2" front lift using King Springs raised coil springs matched to Bilstein B6 Offroad shocks. The lift is measured at the front axle and restores factory rake once a bullbar or winch is fitted. Actual ride height gained can vary slightly depending on your Ranger's current front-end accessory load and tyre size.
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.
You get two Bilstein B6 Offroad monotube front shock absorbers pre-assembled with two King Springs raised front coil springs, plus mounting hardware for the factory strut towers. Bump stops and top mounts are included where required for the PX1/PX2 strut design. Rear shocks, rear springs, and control arms are not included and are available separately through our store.
This is a front-only kit, so it addresses front-end sag from bullbars, winches, and driving lights rather than towball load. For Rangers towing regularly, we recommend pairing it with a matched rear leaf spring or airbag setup to handle the tow ball weight. Talk to our team about your tow rig setup and we'll recommend a front and rear combination that matches your constant load.
Factory control arms will function at a 2" front lift, but geometry and CV joint angles improve with an upgraded control arm at this height. It's not mandatory for this kit to function, but it's a common pairing for owners wanting corrected camber and better articulation. Our control arm range lists options matched to the PX1/PX2 platform.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The 2" lift changes camber and caster angles at the front axle, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and steering feel. We recommend booking alignment straight after fitment, then rechecking after the 500km bed-in period once the King Springs have settled.
The King Springs supplied with this kit are matched to factory-plus front accessory loads like a bullbar and winch. If your Ranger carries a heavier steel bumper or additional front-mounted equipment, tell us the details and we'll confirm whether this spring rate suits your setup or if an alternative rate is needed. Getting the rate right avoids over-compression or a lifted-but-soft front end.
A 2" front lift typically opens up clearance for a modest tyre size increase over factory, though rubbing points depend on your Ranger's rim offset and rear lift status. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering so we can flag any trimming or rear lift needed to match. Running mismatched front and rear ride height with larger tyres can also affect handling, so a rear kit is often paired in.
This kit carries full Bilstein manufacturer warranty on the B6 Offroad shocks and King Springs, backed by our Australian-based support team. If you have a warranty query, our team can assist directly rather than routing you overseas. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for any warranty claim.
Yes, the B6 Offroad valving is tuned to keep on-road comfort close to factory feel while adding front-end control for off-road and load-carrying use. Ranger owners running this kit daily for work and weekend touring report a settled, predictable front end rather than a harsh off-road-only ride. As with any lift, get an alignment done straight after fitting to keep steering feel consistent on the highway.
Perfect front-end upgrade
The Ranger sits level and feels much more controlled. Great ride quality from the Bilstein shocks without feeling too firm.(5)
