Choose your front and rear spring rate based on the constant weight you carry, not just occasional loads. A vehicle fitted with a steel bullbar, winch, bar-mounted spotlights and a dual battery tray needs a heavier front spring rate than a stock vehicle, while a tray, canopy, drawers and long-range fuel will add constant rear load. Talk to our team about your accessory list before ordering so the correct front and rear spring rate is picked for your Ranger.
Fitment is best carried out by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a competent DIY mechanic with a hoist and spring compressor, given the leaf spring and U-bolt work involved at the rear. A wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to bring camber, caster and toe back within factory tolerance at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the nitro gas shocks and springs to settle before fine-tuning tyre pressures and alignment. Consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arm upgrades to correct front geometry and CV angles at the 2" lift height.
Dobinsons is an Australian-engineered suspension brand that designs and valves its shocks and springs specifically for local vehicles and load conditions, rather than using a shared global tune. Every Nitro Gas kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and supported by our in-house fitment team, who can confirm spring rate and shock spec for your exact Ranger build. Tradespeople and touring drivers across Australia run Dobinsons kits for the combination of daily-driver comfort and rated load capacity — view the full Dobinsons suspension range for other Ranger and 4WD applications.
This kit suits Ranger Next Gen owners running a bullbar, winch and canopy who need a 2" lift with a rear spring rate matched to constant tray or canopy weight. It also suits tourers fitting rooftop tents, drawers and long-range fuel who want lift and load capacity without moving to a full GVM upgrade. If you're chasing adjustable load-levelling for varying trailer or caravan ball weight, our airbag suspension options can complement this kit at the rear.
This Dobinsons 2" Nitro Gas Lift Kit is in stock in Australia for fast dispatch, with our team on hand to confirm spring rate and fitment for your Ranger Next Gen before you order. Browse our full lift kit range for other Ranger and 4WD suspension options.

Yes — this kit is designed for the Ford Ranger Next Gen (PY) built from 2022 onward, covering XL, XLS, XLT, Sport and Wildtrak variants with 2.0L Bi-Turbo, 2.0L single turbo and 3.0L V6 diesel engines. It's valved specifically for this chassis rather than shared across earlier Ranger generations. If you're unsure about your build date or variant, check with our fitment team via the contact page before ordering. Raptor models run a different factory suspension package and are not covered by this kit.
This kit provides a 2" lift at the front and a 2" lift at the rear when fitted with the standard-rate springs matched to your vehicle. The exact ride height gained depends on the spring rate chosen and the constant weight already carried on the vehicle. Heavier-rate springs are designed to settle at the same 2" lift once loaded with the corresponding accessory weight. Our team can confirm expected ride height once we know your accessory fit-out.
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 Dobinsons Nitro Gas front struts, 2 x Nitro Gas rear shock absorbers, 2 x front coil springs and 2 x rear leaf springs in your chosen load rate, plus a rear U-bolt kit, greasable shackles and fitment hardware. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if you need them for geometry correction. Full item quantities are listed in the kit contents section above. Contact us if you need a breakdown before you order.
Yes, provided you select a rear spring rate that accounts for your tow ball weight as a constant load. Dobinsons offers multiple rear leaf spring rate options specifically so the kit can be matched to touring, canopy and towing setups. If your ball weight or payload varies a lot trip to trip, our airbag suspension range can be added to the rear for adjustable load support. Speak with our team about your tow rig before choosing a spring rate.
A control arm upgrade is not mandatory to run this 2" kit, but it is recommended if you want to correct front camber, caster and CV joint angle fully at the new ride height. Upgraded control arms also allow more front wheel travel before components bind on rough tracks. Many Ranger Next Gen owners fit them at the same time as the lift kit to get the alignment within factory spec more easily. Our team can advise whether your driving needs justify the upgrade.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Lifting the vehicle 2" changes camber, caster and toe from factory settings, and running it unaligned will cause uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel. We recommend booking an alignment immediately after fitment and again after the 500km bedding-in period. This is a standard step with any lift kit installation, not unique to this Ranger kit.
Yes, Dobinsons offers multiple front and rear spring rate options for the Ranger Next Gen to suit different constant accessory loads. Front rates are selected based on bullbar, winch and driving light weight, while rear rates are selected based on canopy, tray, drawers and fuel load. Tell our team what you run permanently on the vehicle and we'll help match the correct rate. Getting this right keeps the vehicle sitting level and handling predictably.
A 2" lift typically opens up guard clearance for a moderately larger tyre than what fits on a stock Ranger Next Gen, but final clearance depends on your wheel width, offset and tyre profile. We recommend test-fitting or checking with our team before ordering wider or taller tyres so you avoid rubbing on the guard liner or upper control arm at full compression. Trimming of the factory guard liner is sometimes needed with larger tyre combinations. Ask us for guidance specific to the tyre size you're considering.
This kit is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Exact warranty terms are confirmed at time of purchase, so contact our team if you'd like the current warranty period in writing before you order. We also provide fitment support in Australia if you have questions once the kit arrives. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes, the Nitro Gas twin-tube shocks are valved to keep a compliant, comfortable ride on-road while still handling load off-road, so the vehicle remains usable as a daily driver. Ride quality will depend on the spring rate selected — a rate matched to your actual constant load rides better than an oversized rate on an unloaded vehicle. Many owners run this kit as their everyday commuter and weekend tow or touring setup. Our team can help you pick a rate that balances both uses.
