Selecting the correct rear leaf spring load rating is critical for optimal ride quality and longevity. Always select spring rates based on your constant accessory load — the weight permanently installed on your vehicle, not occasional loads like camping gear or towing. Common constant loads for front axle include bull bars, winches, upgraded bumpers, and intercooler upgrades. Rear constant loads include steel canopies, aluminium canopies, drawer systems, dual battery setups, long-range fuel tanks, and permanently mounted recovery equipment. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, water tanks, and towing should NOT be considered when selecting your spring rate. Choosing excessively heavy spring rates results in harsh ride quality, premature bushing wear, and potential damage to chassis mounts and suspension components.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety compliance. A complete four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to restore factory geometry and prevent premature tyre wear. Bilstein recommends a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle and shocks will bed-in — avoid aggressive off-road driving during this period. For PJ-PK Rangers with significant front-end weight (bull bars, winches), consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to optimize castor angle, improve steering feel, and restore factory ride height under load.
Bilstein has been engineering world-leading monotube shock absorbers since 1954, with a heritage spanning everything from German autobahns to Dakar Rally podiums and Australian outback expeditions. Every Bilstein suspension product is validated through rigorous testing in Australian conditions — from corrugated red dirt to coastal salt exposure — ensuring unmatched reliability for local touring, trade use, and daily driving. Bilstein's comprehensive warranty and global reputation make it the trusted choice for serious 4WD enthusiasts, professional tradespeople, and families who demand absolute reliability from remote Cape York to the Nullarbor.
This lift kit is ideal for PJ-PK Ranger owners seeking a balanced suspension upgrade for touring, trade use, or weekend adventure without sacrificing daily drivability. It's perfect for tradespeople running canopies and toolboxes who need consistent load support, families touring Australia with rooftop tents and camping equipment, and recreational off-roaders wanting improved clearance for beach, tracks, and trail riding. If you regularly tow heavy caravans or trailers and experience rear squat, consider adding airbag suspension for on-demand load leveling and variable spring rate adjustment without compromising unladen ride quality.

Yes, this Bilstein 2" lift kit is specifically engineered to fit all Ford Ranger PJ (2006-2009) and PK (2009-2011) models including XL, XLT, and Wildtrak variants with factory suspension. The kit suits cab chassis, dual cab, and extra cab body styles across both petrol and diesel engines. If you've previously modified your suspension or have a non-standard configuration, we recommend contacting our team to confirm fitment compatibility. You can also check our parts finder tool to verify all compatible components for your specific year and variant.
This Bilstein kit delivers 50mm (2 inches) of lift height, measured at the chassis when correctly installed and settled. With this lift, you can comfortably fit tyres up to 32 inches in diameter (265/75R16 or 285/75R16 depending on wheel offset) without rubbing during full suspension articulation or steering lock. For more aggressive tyre sizes beyond 32", minor trimming of plastic inner guards may be required. The increased ground clearance also improves approach and departure angles by approximately 2-3 degrees, enhancing off-road capability on rocky terrain, creek crossings, and steep inclines.
This complete kit includes two Bilstein B6 Offroad monotube front shock absorbers, two Bilstein B6 Offroad rear shock absorbers, two heavy-duty multi-leaf rear springs with selectable load ratings, a complete shackle bush kit with polyurethane bushings, and four heavy-duty U-bolts for secure leaf spring mounting. All necessary installation hardware and fasteners are included. Note that front coil springs are NOT included as factory coils are retained to achieve the 2" lift height. Extended brake lines, upgraded sway bar links, and control arms are sold separately if required for your specific configuration.
Absolutely — this Bilstein kit excels at towing when matched with the correct rear leaf spring load rating. The upgraded multi-leaf rear springs dramatically reduce rear squat compared to worn factory suspension, maintaining level vehicle geometry and safe weight distribution when towing up to the Ranger PJ-PK's maximum braked towing capacity. The B6 Offroad shocks provide superior damping control to minimize trailer sway and maintain stability on corrugated roads or during emergency maneuvers. For maximum towing performance and on-demand load adjustment, consider pairing this kit with supplementary airbag suspension for variable spring rate control.
While this 2" lift kit will function with factory control arms, upgrading to heavy-duty aftermarket control arms is highly recommended if you're running significant front-end weight such as a steel bull bar and winch. Upgraded control arms with adjustable castor correction will restore optimal steering geometry, improve castor angle for better self-centering and stability, and eliminate potential ball joint binding at the new ride height. This is especially important for touring and off-road use where steering precision and component longevity are critical. Our suspension specialists can recommend the ideal control arm setup for your specific PJ-PK Ranger configuration.
Yes, a professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any suspension lift kit. Lifting your Ranger alters critical suspension geometry including castor, camber, and toe angles which directly affect tyre wear, steering feel, and vehicle stability. Without proper alignment, you'll experience premature and uneven tyre wear (particularly on the inside edges), wandering steering, and reduced on-road handling. The alignment should be performed after the kit is fully installed and the vehicle has been driven approximately 50-100km to allow springs and bushings to settle into their operating positions.
Spring rate selection must be based exclusively on your constant accessory load — the permanent weight installed on your vehicle, NOT occasional loads or towing. For the front, common constant loads include bull bars, winches, and upgraded bumpers. For the rear, constant loads include steel or aluminium canopies, drawer systems, dual batteries, long-range fuel tanks, and permanently mounted recovery gear. Weigh or calculate your total constant accessories, then select the spring rate that matches your load category. Never overestimate — choosing excessively heavy springs results in harsh ride quality, accelerated bushing wear, and potential chassis damage. Our team can help you accurately calculate your load if you're unsure.
Yes, fitting larger diameter tyres will cause your speedometer to read slower than your actual speed because the odometer and speedometer are calibrated for factory tyre diameter. For example, upgrading from factory 245/70R16 tyres (29.5" diameter) to 265/75R16 tyres (31.6" diameter) will result in approximately 7% speedometer error. This means when your speedometer shows 100km/h, you're actually traveling around 107km/h. Most modern vehicles can have their speedometer recalibrated via an authorized dealer or aftermarket tuning specialist to account for the larger rolling diameter. Alternatively, GPS-based speedometer apps can provide accurate speed readings until professional recalibration is performed.
All Bilstein B6 Offroad shock absorbers are backed by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship when the product is used under normal operating conditions. The rear leaf springs and hardware components also carry warranty protection against manufacturing defects. Warranty coverage requires professional installation by a qualified technician with proof of purchase from an authorized Bilstein dealer. The warranty does not cover damage from improper installation, vehicle modification beyond manufacturer specifications, competition use, or failure to maintain correct spring rates for your vehicle's load. Complete warranty terms and conditions are provided with your kit.
This Bilstein B6 Offroad kit is specifically engineered to excel in both daily driving and off-road environments — it's the ideal choice for dual-purpose vehicles that see regular highway commuting, weekend touring, and recreational trail riding. The monotube design and digressive valve tuning deliver plush, controlled ride quality on sealed roads with excellent highway stability at speed, while dramatically improving capability over corrugations, rocks, sand, and whoops. Unlike competition-focused or extreme lift kits, this 2" Bilstein setup maintains composed on-road manners, quiet operation, and long-term comfort for daily use while providing significant off-road performance gains when you venture beyond the bitumen.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted this Bilstein 2-inch lift kit to our PK Ranger about three months ago and it's been brilliant for our monthly camping trips down the coast and out west. The ride quality is noticeably smoother than the old setup, especially when we're loaded up with the camper trailer and all the kids' gear. Really happy with how level it sits now under load, and the extra clearance has already saved us on a few sketchy tracks.(5)
Proper Kit for Serious Outback Work
Been running this Bilstein 2-inch lift on my PK Ranger for about 8 months now, including a recent Cape York trip and multiple Simpson Desert crossings. The B6 shocks handle corrugations significantly better than the old setup, and the added clearance has already saved my diff a few times on the rougher tracks. Build quality is typical Bilstein - everything fitted properly and the rear springs are holding up well under my canopy and drawer system plus camping gear.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Camping Rig
Had this Bilstein 2-inch lift kit fitted to our 2009 Ranger before our latest trip down the Victorian High Country and the difference is night and day. The extra clearance made those rutted tracks far less stressful, and the ride quality is actually better than stock even with the camper trailer loaded up. Really impressed with how well the Bilstein shocks handle corrugations – the kids weren't complaining about being bounced around for once!(5)
Solid lift kit, handles the tools no worries
Had this Bilstein 2-inch lift fitted to my 2009 Ranger about six months back and it's been spot on for daily site work and weekend trips down the coast. The ride quality is heaps better than the old setup, especially with a full load of gear in the tray. Bit of an investment but the Bilstein shocks are worth every cent if you're actually using your ute.(5)
Proper Setup for the High Country
Been running this Bilstein 2-inch lift on my PK Ranger for eighteen months now, including three Cape trips and countless runs through the Flinders. The B6 shocks handle corrugations brilliantly without that harsh jarring you get from cheaper setups, and the extra clearance has saved my diff more than once on rocky crossings. Worth every cent for serious remote touring.(5)
