The Dobinsons Nitro Gas Front Lift Kit gives the Ford Ranger PX3 (2018-2022) a genuine 2" front lift using raised coil springs matched to twin-tube nitro gas struts with a larger bore than the factory unit. Japanese NOK multi-lip seals and German Fuchs oil keep damping consistent under repeated heat cycling, which matters when you're carrying a bar, winch or bull bar up front. This kit lifts ride height for bigger tyre clearance without turning the front end soft or vague on the highway. Paired with our coil springs range for rear-matched setups, it's dispatched from Australian stock with manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Front spring rate on a Ranger PX3 should account for the weight of any bull bar, winch, driving lights or bash plate fitted up front, since these all sit ahead of the axle line and load the front strut directly. If your Ranger carries a heavy steel bar and winch combo, tell us at order time so we can confirm the correct spring is matched to that load. Common front accessories affecting spring choice include bull bars, winches, aftermarket bash plates and snorkel/air intake hardware.
Fitting this kit is a bolt-in front strut swap best handled by an experienced 4WD workshop or a confident DIY mechanic with a spring compressor and hoist access. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring camber and caster back within spec at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bed-in period before final alignment if you're planning a long tour straight after fitment. If you're also correcting front-end geometry at this lift height, look at pairing this kit with control arm upgrades.
Dobinsons has manufactured 4WD suspension components for over 60 years, with struts and springs designed and tested on Australian roads and tracks rather than adapted from overseas passenger car parts. Every Nitro Gas strut in this kit is backed by manufacturer warranty and supported by our Australian-based fitment team if you have questions before or after you order. Tradespeople, tourers and weekend drivers all run Dobinsons gear on their Rangers — view the full Dobinsons range for matching rear components.
This kit suits Ranger PX3 owners fitting a bull bar and winch who need the front end to sit level rather than sagging under the extra weight. It's also a solid fit for tourers wanting a 2" lift for tyre clearance and improved approach angle without moving to a full remote-reservoir setup. If you're regularly carrying uneven loads or towing a heavy trailer, our airbag suspension options can complement the rear end for load-levelling.

Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas kit is designed specifically for the Ford Ranger PX3 built 2018-2022, covering both the 2.0L Bi-Turbo and 3.2L Duratorq 5-cylinder variants. It is a direct bolt-in front strut replacement using the factory mounting points. If you're unsure which series your Ranger is, check your compliance plate or use our parts finder for the Ranger PX3. Our team can also confirm fitment if you contact us with your VIN.
This kit provides a 2" front lift on the Ford Ranger PX3, achieved through raised coil springs paired with the Nitro Gas strut assembly. Actual ride height gain can vary slightly depending on accessory load, tyre size and whether the vehicle is unladen or loaded. This is a front-only kit, so rear ride height is unaffected unless you fit rear springs separately.
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 two Dobinsons Nitro Gas front strut assemblies with raised coil springs already matched to the strut, plus mounting hardware. It does not include rear springs, rear shocks, or control arms, which are sold separately if needed. Full fitting instructions are supplied with the kit.
This front lift kit improves front-end support when carrying heavier accessories like a bull bar and winch, which helps maintain ride height under load. For towing specifically, the rear suspension setup, including leaf springs or airbags, has more influence on tow ball weight and squat than the front strut. We recommend reviewing our leaf spring options or airbag suspension for the rear if you tow regularly.
Control arm upgrades are not mandatory with a 2" front lift on the PX3, but they can help restore correct front-end geometry, particularly caster and CV joint angles, at the raised height. Many customers running a 2" lift long-term choose to pair it with upgraded control arms to reduce wear on ball joints and CVs. Speak with our team about whether your driving conditions and tyre size warrant this upgrade.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The 2" lift changes camber and caster angles at the front axle, and running the vehicle without realignment will cause uneven tyre wear. We recommend a 500km bed-in period before the final alignment to let the new struts and springs settle.
This kit is supplied with a standard raised coil spring rate matched to the Ranger PX3's factory front-end weight plus typical accessory loads like a bull bar and winch. If your front-end load is unusually heavy, contact our team before ordering so we can confirm the correct spring is suited to your setup. Getting the spring rate right avoids excessive front sag or an overly firm unladen ride.
A 2" front lift on the PX3 typically creates clearance for tyres up to around 33 inches on most factory wheel and offset combinations, though this depends on your specific wheel width and offset. Some minor trimming of guard liners may be needed depending on tyre choice. We recommend confirming your exact wheel and tyre combination with our team before ordering larger rubber.
This Dobinsons Nitro Gas kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Full warranty terms are confirmed at time of purchase and our Australian-based team handles any warranty claims directly. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for warranty reference.
Yes, this kit is designed to retain a comfortable on-road ride while adding front-end lift and load support, making it suitable for Rangers used for daily driving as well as touring. The twin-tube nitro gas strut design is built to handle everyday bitumen driving without the harsh feel of a purely off-road-focused setup. Many PX3 owners run this kit as their only suspension change for daily commuting with occasional off-road or towing use.
