Choose your rear leaf spring rate based on the constant weight you carry, not just occasional loads. Front accessories like a steel bullbar and winch add constant weight to the nose, while rear accessories like a canopy, drawer system, long-range fuel tank or water tank add constant weight to the tray. Tell our team your typical accessory and touring load and we will match the correct spring rate for your Ranger PX1 or PX2.
This kit is suited to an experienced DIY installer with a workshop hoist or a 4WD suspension fitter, given the leaf spring and U-bolt work involved. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring camber, caster and toe back within spec at the new ride height. Allow a 500km settling-in period for the springs and shocks to bed in before fine-tuning alignment. Consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct front geometry and extend CV joint life at 2" of lift.
Dobinsons has been supplying 4WD suspension to the Australian market for decades, with shock valving and spring rates developed for local corrugated roads and towing conditions. Each Nitro Gas shock is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty, and the brand is used by tourers and tradespeople running everyday-loaded utes. You can view the full Dobinsons range for matching components across your Ranger.
This kit suits Ranger PX1/PX2 owners fitting a canopy and drawers for trade work, or a rooftop tent and long-range tank for touring, where the rear needs constant load support. Caravan and camper trailer towers benefit from the firmer rear leaf spring holding tow ball weight without sagging. If your load varies significantly trip to trip, also look at airbag suspension to fine-tune rear support on the fly.

Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas kit is built specifically for the Ford Ranger PX1 (2011-2015) and PX2 (2015-2018), both 2.2L and 3.2L Duratorq variants. The coil springs, leaf springs and shocks are matched to the factory mounting points on these series. If you're unsure which series your ute is, check the build plate or use our parts finder for the Ranger PX1/PX2, or contact our team with your rego or VIN.
This kit provides a 2" lift at both the front and rear of the Ranger PX1/PX2. The front lift comes from raised coil springs matched to the factory front end, and the rear lift comes from raised leaf springs. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on your vehicle's existing load and accessories fitted.
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 x front nitro gas shock absorbers, 2 x rear nitro gas shock absorbers, 2 x raised front coil springs, 2 x raised rear leaf springs, mounting bushes and U-bolt hardware for the rear leaf springs. Fitting instructions are included. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if you choose to upgrade them.
Yes, the rear leaf springs in this kit are available with a constant load rating suited to towing setups, and the nitro gas rear shocks control the extra movement that comes with a loaded tow ball. Tell our team your typical tow ball weight and rear accessory load so we can confirm the correct spring rate before you order. Matching the spring rate to your actual load prevents rear sag and keeps headlight aim and handling correct while towing.
Control arm upgrades are not compulsory at a 2" lift on the Ranger PX1/PX2 but they are worth considering. Upgraded control arms improve front geometry and CV joint angles at ride height, particularly if you plan to run this lift long-term with regular touring loads. Our control arm range can be added at the same time as this kit for a more complete geometry correction.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit. Raising the vehicle by 2" changes camber, caster and toe from factory settings, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and steering feel. We recommend booking the alignment straight after installation, then rechecking it again after the 500km settling-in period.
Yes, Dobinsons offers different leaf spring rate options for the Ranger PX1/PX2 to suit different constant accessory loads. If you're running a heavy canopy, drawers, long-range tank or dual battery setup, tell our team the combined weight and we'll recommend the correct spring rate. Getting this right prevents rear sag and keeps the ute sitting level under real-world load.
A 2" lift on the Ranger PX1/PX2 typically creates clearance for a moderately larger tyre than factory, though exact clearance depends on your wheel offset and tyre width. We recommend checking your specific tyre size against the lifted height before purchase, and our team can advise based on the wheel and tyre combination you're planning. Rubbing can still occur at full steering lock with wider tyres, so wheel spacers or offset changes may be needed in some cases.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty on the shock absorbers and springs. Warranty terms cover manufacturing defects under normal 4WD use, and we handle warranty claims through our Australian-based team. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for any warranty claim.
Yes, the nitro gas shocks and matched springs in this kit are tuned to keep ride comfort reasonable for daily driving, not just off-road use. Many Ranger PX1/PX2 owners run this kit as their daily driver while also using it for weekend touring or towing. Ride quality will feel slightly firmer than factory, particularly unladen, which is typical of a 2" lift with load-rated springs.
