Correct spring rate selection is critical for optimal ride height, handling, and component longevity. During checkout, you'll select front and rear spring rates based on your constant accessory load — the weight permanently installed on your vehicle. Common front accessories include steel bullbars (30-60kg), winches (30-40kg), upgraded batteries, long range fuel tanks, and heavy-duty intercoolers. Rear accessories include aluminium canopies (70-150kg), steel toolboxes, drawer systems (40-80kg), dual spare wheel carriers, water tanks, and rooftop tents. Do not select spring rates based on occasional loads like passengers, camping gear, or towing — these are supported by the shock absorbers and don't require heavier springs.
This lift kit requires professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist or experienced DIY mechanic with appropriate spring compressors, torque wrenches, and safety equipment. A four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to correct camber, caster, and toe settings — failure to align can cause premature tyre wear and handling issues. All shocks and springs require a 500km break-in period to fully settle and bed-in, after which ride height and handling characteristics will stabilise. For optimal suspension geometry and camber correction on lifted PX Rangers, we recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore factory alignment angles and improve tyre contact patch.
Bilstein has been the global benchmark in monotube gas shock absorber technology since 1954, with 67 years of motorsport heritage including Dakar Rally, World Rally Championship, and V8 Supercars. Every Bilstein shock is designed in Germany and rigorously tested across Australian outback conditions, corrugated roads, and coastal environments to ensure fade-free performance and exceptional longevity. Backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and trusted by Australian tradespeople, grey nomads, and serious tourers, Bilstein delivers unmatched quality and resale value. Explore the complete Bilstein suspension range for shock absorbers, steering dampers, and performance upgrades.
This Bilstein lift kit is ideal for Ford Ranger owners who demand premium ride quality without sacrificing off-road capability — including grey nomad tourers towing caravans across the Nullarbor, tradespeople carrying heavy toolboxes and equipment daily, weekend warriors tackling Cape York and the Simpson Desert, and families seeking safer clearance for beach and forest track adventures. If you frequently carry maximum payload or tow near your vehicle's 3500kg capacity, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear for on-demand load support and level towing without compromising unladen ride comfort.

Yes, this kit is engineered specifically for Ford Ranger PX1 (2011-2015) and PX2 (2015-2018) models including XL, XLS, XLT, and Wildtrak variants. It suits both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations with the factory coil front and leaf rear suspension setup. If you own a PX3/PXIII (2018+) Ranger, you'll need a different kit as the suspension geometry changed. Use our parts finder tool or contact our team to confirm exact fitment for your VIN number and build date.
This Bilstein kit provides 50mm (2 inches) of lift height at both front and rear when measured from standard factory ride height with no accessories fitted. Actual installed height will vary depending on your selected spring rates and constant accessory load — heavier spring rates may sit slightly higher initially. After the 500km break-in period, springs will settle approximately 10-15mm as the progressive coils compress and polyurethane bushes bed in. This lift height is ideal for accommodating 31-32 inch tyres without rubbing on factory guards.
The complete kit includes 2 x Bilstein B6 Offroad Performance front gas shocks, 2 x King Springs front coil springs, 2 x Bilstein B6 rear gas shocks, 2 x heavy-duty rear leaf springs, 4 x HD U-bolts, and 1 x polyurethane bush kit for the leaf springs. All necessary mounting hardware is supplied. This kit does not include upper control arms, extended brake lines, diff drop brackets, or sway bar links — these components may be required depending on your vehicle's existing setup and desired geometry correction.
Absolutely — this kit is excellent for towing applications thanks to the heavy-duty leaf springs and Bilstein's digressive valve technology which provides superior load control and reduced rear squat. The reinforced leaf pack increases your effective payload capacity while the monotube gas shocks resist fade during extended highway towing. When ordering, select rear spring rates based on your canopy/tray weight only — not your trailer weight, as towing is an occasional load. For maximum towing performance and on-demand levelling, consider adding airbag suspension to complement this lift kit.
While not strictly mandatory for a 50mm lift, upgraded upper control arms are highly recommended for the Ford Ranger PX to correct camber angles and restore optimal suspension geometry. At 2 inches of lift, your front wheels will develop negative camber causing inner tyre edge wear and reduced contact patch. Aftermarket adjustable upper control arms allow your installer to dial in factory-spec camber settings for even tyre wear and improved handling. We can supply quality control arm kits that bolt straight on — contact our team for a package deal.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after fitting any lift kit to your Ford Ranger. Lifting the vehicle alters camber, caster, and toe angles which can cause rapid tyre wear, steering pull, and compromised handling if not corrected. Your installer must adjust all alignment parameters to factory specifications (or custom settings if running aftermarket control arms). We recommend getting the alignment performed after the initial 500km break-in period when springs have fully settled, then re-checking at 1000km to ensure settings remain within spec.
Yes, and you must select appropriate spring rates during checkout based on your specific constant accessory load. Front spring rates account for bullbars, winches, batteries, and front accessories, while rear rates factor in canopies, toolboxes, drawers, and rear equipment. You'll select from light, medium, or heavy-duty options for each end independently. It's critical to be honest about your actual constant load — selecting springs that are too heavy for your setup will result in harsh ride quality, while springs too soft will sag and bottom out. Our team can help calculate your exact load if unsure.
With this 50mm lift kit installed, you can comfortably fit 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 tyres (approximately 31-32 inches diameter) on factory Ford Ranger PX wheels without any trimming or guard modifications. If you want to run 285/70R17 (33 inch) tyres, you may experience minor rubbing at full lock or under compression, requiring slight guard trimming or offset wheel spacers. Tyre fitment also depends on wheel offset and backspacing — we recommend sticking with +20 to +35 offset for best clearance. Always test fit and perform lock-to-lock checks before heading off-road.
All Bilstein B6 Offroad shock absorbers are covered by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. King Springs front coils carry their own manufacturer warranty for spring sag and breakage. The heavy-duty leaf springs and polyurethane bushes are also warranted against premature failure when installed correctly and operated within load ratings. Warranty coverage requires professional installation, proof of purchase, and proper vehicle maintenance. Keep your receipt and installation records safe — our team can assist with any warranty claims or technical support throughout the life of your kit.
Yes, this is one of the most comfortable lift kits available for the Ford Ranger PX platform. Bilstein's monotube gas technology and progressive King Springs coils deliver a remarkably balanced ride that's firm enough for load carrying and off-road control yet supple enough for daily commuting and highway touring. Unlike budget twin-tube shocks that can feel harsh or bouncy, the Bilstein B6 Offroad maintains near-factory comfort while significantly improving load capacity and off-road performance. Thousands of Australian Ranger owners run this exact kit as their daily driver with complete satisfaction — it's the ideal balance between capability and comfort.
Sorted for the Simpson and Beyond
Been running this Bilstein 2-inch lift kit on my PX2 for the past eight months through some proper rough country—Gunbarrel Highway, Canning Stock Route, and countless corrugated fire trails. The ride quality is genuinely impressive; those B6 shocks soak up the punishment while keeping everything controlled, even with a loaded canopy and drawer system. Fitment was spot-on with all the hardware included, and the extra clearance has made a noticeable difference on rocky creek crossings. Can't fault it for serious touring.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
Fitted this Bilstein lift kit to our PX2 Ranger before our trip down the Murray and the difference was immediately noticeable. The ride quality is genuinely better than stock, even with the camper trailer loaded up with all the kids' gear. Installation was straightforward with everything included, and the truck now sits level with our rooftop tent and recovery gear mounted. Couldn't be happier with how it handles corrugated tracks and beach driving at Robe.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted this Bilstein 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 better than stock, especially when we're loaded up with the camper trailer and all the family gear. Everything lined up perfectly during installation and the Bilstein shocks handle corrugations way better than I expected. Well worth the investment if you're doing regular touring.(5)
Best upgrade I've done to the Ranger
Had this Bilstein lift kit fitted to my PX2 about three months back and it's been brilliant for both the daily commute and weekend trips down the coast. The ride quality is heaps better than stock, even with a tonne of tools in the tray, and it handles the corrugated dirt roads out to sites without beating me up. Couldn't be happier with how it's transformed the truck – proper quality gear that's worth every cent.(5)
Solid Kit for Serious Remote Work
Been running this Bilstein 2-inch lift kit on my PX2 for the past eight months, including a Cape York trip and several Simpson Desert crossings. The ride quality is significantly better than the old setup, especially when loaded up with long-range fuel and recovery gear – the Bilstein shocks handle the corrugations brilliantly. Fitment was spot-on and the King Springs paired with those B6 shocks have completely transformed how the Ranger handles both on washboard tracks and when articulating through rocky sections.(5)
