Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and preventing premature component wear. When ordering, choose your spring rate based on constant accessory load only — the weight permanently fitted to your vehicle. Front constant loads include bull bars, winches, steel bumpers, driving lights and heavy-duty batteries. Rear constant loads include steel trays, toolboxes, drawer systems, canopies, dual battery systems, water tanks and long-range fuel tanks. Do not select spring rates based on occasional loads like passengers, camping gear, firewood or towing — overspringing will result in harsh ride quality and potential damage to other suspension components.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD mechanic or suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications and safety. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent uneven tyre wear and maintain vehicle handling characteristics. All suspension components require a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle and dampers will bed in — expect final ride height to be achieved after this initial period. For PX1 and PX2 Rangers receiving significant lift, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct castor angles and restore optimal suspension geometry for improved handling and reduced tyre wear.
Dobinsons has been engineering Australian 4WD suspension solutions for over 60 years, with every product tested across the harshest outback conditions from Cape York to the Nullarbor. Trusted by grey nomads, tradespeople, mining fleets and serious tourers, Dobinsons components are backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and genuine Australian technical support. Explore the full Dobinsons suspension range for complementary steering and suspension upgrades to maximize your Ranger's capability.
This kit is ideal for Ranger owners who carry constant heavy loads including tradespeople with toolboxes and equipment, tourers with drawer systems and roof racks, and caravan towers requiring improved rear load capacity and stability. If you regularly carry variable loads or tow heavy trailers, consider adding airbag suspension to fine-tune your ride height and level your vehicle under changing load conditions. Perfect for daily drivers who also venture off-road on weekends or extended outback touring adventures.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for Ford Ranger PX1 (2011-2015) and PX2 (2015-2018) models across all variants including XL, XLS, XLT and Wildtrak. It suits both 2.2L TDCi and 3.2L Duratorq engines in single cab, extra cab and dual cab configurations. The kit includes all necessary components for a complete front and rear suspension upgrade. If you have aftermarket modifications or unique requirements, contact our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
This kit provides a genuine 50mm (2 inch) lift at both the front and rear of your Ranger PX1 or PX2. Actual lift height can vary slightly depending on your chosen spring rate and the constant accessory load on your vehicle. Heavier constant loads may reduce final lift height by 10-20mm, while lighter setups may achieve slightly more than 50mm. The 40mm raised leaf springs combined with appropriate shock absorbers deliver consistent rear lift regardless of load conditions within the vehicle's rated capacity.
The complete kit includes 2 x Dobinsons Nitro Gas front struts, 2 x front coil springs (in your selected rate), 2 x Nitro Gas rear shock absorbers, 2 x 40mm raised rear leaf springs, 4 x heavy duty U-bolts and 1 x polyurethane leaf spring bush kit. All necessary hardware and fasteners are included for a complete installation. Additional components such as extended brake lines, differential drop brackets, or steering dampers may be required depending on your vehicle configuration and should be purchased separately if needed.
Yes, this kit significantly improves towing performance and stability when hauling caravans, camper trailers, boats and box trailers up to your Ranger's rated towing capacity. The 40mm raised leaf springs provide excellent load carrying capacity and reduce rear squat under tow ball weight. The nitro gas shock absorbers maintain consistent damping performance even when loaded, reducing body roll and improving control. For maximum towing performance and adjustability, consider adding airbag suspension to work alongside this lift kit for fine-tuned ride height control under varying loads.
While not strictly mandatory for a 2 inch lift, upgraded adjustable upper control arms are highly recommended for Ford Ranger PX1/PX2 models to restore correct castor angles and optimize suspension geometry. Factory control arms may not provide sufficient adjustment range to achieve ideal alignment specifications after lifting. Aftermarket adjustable control arms allow precise castor correction, which improves steering feel, reduces tyre wear and enhances high-speed stability. Many Ranger owners choose to install control arms at the same time as the lift kit to maximize handling performance and protect their investment.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any suspension lift kit on your Ford Ranger. Lifting the vehicle changes suspension geometry and alignment angles including castor, camber and toe settings. Without proper alignment, you will experience premature and uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics and potentially dangerous steering behaviour. Book your alignment with a suspension specialist who has experience with lifted 4WDs and can properly set castor angles using adjustable control arms if fitted.
Yes, this kit offers multiple spring rate options for both front coil springs and rear leaf springs to perfectly match your vehicle's constant accessory load. When ordering, you'll select spring rates based on the permanent weight you carry — front loads like bull bars and winches, rear loads like toolboxes and canopies. It's critical to select rates based on constant load only, not occasional loads like camping gear or passengers. Our team can help you calculate your accessory weight and recommend the ideal spring combination for optimal ride height and comfort.
Yes, this 50mm lift provides clearance for tyres up to approximately 32 inches diameter (285/70R17 or 265/75R16) on standard offset wheels without significant rubbing. Actual tyre clearance depends on wheel offset, tyre brand and tread pattern, and whether you've installed aftermarket fender flares. Some minor trimming of plastic inner guards may be required for full-lock turning clearance. For tyres larger than 32 inches, you may need additional modifications such as fender trimming, body mount chops or aftermarket wheel spacers depending on your specific setup.
Dobinsons suspension components are backed by a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms vary by component type, with shock absorbers and springs typically covered for 12-24 months from date of purchase. The warranty covers normal 4WD use including off-road driving, touring and load carrying within the vehicle's rated specifications. Warranty claims require proof of purchase and professional installation. Contact us for complete warranty details and conditions specific to this kit.
Absolutely — this Dobinsons kit is engineered to provide excellent on-road comfort for daily driving while delivering exceptional off-road capability when needed. The nitro gas shock absorbers provide controlled damping without harshness, and the carefully matched spring rates ensure a comfortable ride whether driving unladen or loaded. Many Ranger owners use their vehicles as daily drivers Monday to Friday and weekend tourers, making ride quality a critical consideration. This kit strikes an excellent balance between comfortable urban driving, stable highway cruising and capable off-road performance.
Perfect upgrade for our family camping adventures
Had the Dobinsons 2 inch lift kit fitted to our PX2 Ranger a few months back and it's completely transformed how the ute handles when we're loaded up with camping gear and the kids. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially on corrugated roads heading out to our favourite spots in the high country. Really happy with the value for money compared to some of the other options out there.(5)
Solid Kit for Serious Outback Work
Been running this Dobinsons 2-inch lift kit on my PX2 for about 8 months now, including some pretty rough tracks through the Simpson and Cape York. The ride quality is genuinely impressive – loaded up with recovery gear and water, it handles corrugations way better than the old setup. Fitment was spot-on and the Nitro Gas shocks have held up perfectly in the dust and heat.(5)
Proper Upgrade for My Work Ranger
Had the Dobinsons 2 inch lift kit fitted to my PX2 Ranger about three months back and it's been spot on for daily work duties and weekend trips down the coast. The ride quality is actually better than stock even with a full load of tools and gear in the tray. Bit of an investment but worth every cent when you're doing the k's I do.(5)
Perfect upgrade for our family camping adventures
Fitted this Dobinsons 2 inch lift kit to our PX2 Ranger about six months ago and it's been absolutely brilliant for our regular trips down to the Victorian High Country. The ride quality is noticeably smoother than the old stock setup, especially when loaded up with the camper trailer and all the family gear. Installation was straightforward and the kit has handled some pretty rough tracks without any dramas whatsoever.(5)
