King Springs rear leaf springs are offered in different constant load ratings, so the right choice depends on what you carry day to day rather than what you carry occasionally. Tell us your typical fitted accessories and we'll match the rate to suit.
Front-end accessories that affect spring selection include steel bull bars, winches and driving light bars. Rear-end accessories include canopies, dual battery trays, water tanks, tool boxes and drawer systems.
Fitment should be carried out by a qualified suspension installer or an experienced DIY mechanic with a hoist, as spring compression and torque specs are critical to safe operation. A wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to reset camber and caster to factory tolerance at the new ride height. Allow a 500km break-in period for the King Springs leaf packs and Bilstein shocks to settle before final alignment if your installer recommends a two-stage check. Many PX1/PX2 owners pair this kit with upgraded control arm upgrades to correct front geometry and CV angles at the 2" lift height.
Bilstein has supplied OE and aftermarket shock technology to 4WD and touring vehicle platforms for decades, with monotube gas designs used across Australian-market utes and wagons. The B6 Offroad Performance range is set up specifically for lifted applications like this Ranger kit, rather than adapted from a standard-height shock. Backed by manufacturer warranty and stocked locally, it's a common choice among tradespeople and tourers who need repeatable, predictable damping — view the full Bilstein range for other vehicle applications.
This kit suits Ranger PX1/PX2 owners running a canopy and tools daily, tradies carrying steady payload, and tourers fitting a rooftop tent, fridge slide or long-range fuel tank. If your accessory load is heavier and more constant than a leaf spring upgrade can comfortably handle, our airbag suspension options can be added to assist the rear end under maximum load.

Yes, this Bilstein kit is built specifically for Ford Ranger PX1 (2011-2015) and PX2 (2015-2018) 4x4 models, not adapted from another platform. It suits dual cab, extra cab and single cab utes running the 2.2L or 3.2L Duratorq diesel. If your Ranger has factory modifications or a different GVM upgrade already fitted, check with our team via the contact page before ordering. Our parts finder for the PX1/PX2 also lists every compatible component for your specific build.
This kit provides a 2" lift front and rear, achieved through King Springs raised front coil springs and heavy-duty rear leaf springs matched to Bilstein B6 Offroad Performance shocks with extended travel. The shocks are valved and sized to suit this exact lift height rather than a universal range. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on accessory load already fitted to the vehicle.
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 front and 2 rear Bilstein B6 Offroad Performance monotube gas shocks, King Springs raised front coil springs, King Springs heavy-duty rear leaf spring assemblies, U-bolt kits, leaf spring bushes and fitting instructions. Upper and lower control arms are not included and are sold separately if your setup needs them. Full component quantities are listed in the Kit Includes section on this page.
The heavy-duty King Springs rear leaf springs are rated for a higher constant load than standard Ranger leaf packs, which helps support tow ball weight and rear-mounted touring gear. This kit lifts constant load capacity rather than towing capacity itself, so always check your vehicle's GCM and tow rating separately. For setups towing heavier vans regularly, ask our team about pairing this kit with airbag suspension for extra rear support.
Control arms aren't included in this kit and aren't mandatory to run it, but at 2" of lift the front control arm angle changes slightly, which can affect CV joint angle and camber adjustment range. Many PX1/PX2 owners fit upgraded control arms at the same time to restore correct geometry and maximise alignment adjustment. Our team can advise whether your specific accessory setup needs this extra step.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Ride height changes camber and caster angles, and an alignment resets these to correct tolerances for even tyre wear and stable handling. We recommend booking the alignment with an installer familiar with lifted 4WDs, ideally after the 500km break-in period for the new springs.
Yes, King Springs rear leaf assemblies are available in different constant load ratings to suit lighter setups through to heavier canopy and touring configurations. The right rate depends on what's permanently fitted to your tray or canopy, not just occasional loads. Contact our suspension experts with your accessory list and we'll help match the correct spring rate before you order.
A 2" lift on the PX1/PX2 typically creates clearance for larger tyre diameters than standard, though exact fitment depends on wheel width, offset and whether flares or trimming are needed. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering so we can flag any clearance issues specific to your wheel setup. This avoids rubbing at full lock or full compression on some combinations.
Bilstein shocks and King Springs components in this kit are covered by manufacturer warranty. We can confirm the exact warranty period and terms for your order when you contact us, and we handle warranty claims through our Australian-based support team rather than requiring you to deal directly with an overseas supplier. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes, the Bilstein B6 Offroad Performance shocks are valved to keep everyday ride quality close to factory feel, not just off-road performance. Many PX1/PX2 owners run this kit as their daily driver and weekend tow vehicle without a harsh or bouncy ride. Ride comfort will settle further once the King Springs have completed their break-in period.
