Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality, load support and suspension longevity. Spring rates should be chosen based on your constant accessory load — the weight permanently fitted to your Ranger, not occasional cargo. Common constant loads include bull bars, winches, steel trays, toolboxes, canopies, roof racks, dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, and rear drawers or storage systems. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, or towed weight should NOT be factored into spring rate selection — if you regularly tow heavy, consider pairing this kit with airbag suspension for adjustable rear support. When ordering, accurately calculate your front and rear constant loads to avoid selecting springs that are too heavy (causing harsh ride) or too soft (causing premature sag).
This Dobinsons lift kit is designed for professional installation or experienced DIY mechanics with appropriate workshop tools and safety equipment. Installation requires removal of factory suspension components, fitting of new struts, shocks, springs, leaf packs and hardware, and torque-to-spec assembly following Dobinsons' technical specifications. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct camber, caster and toe settings — failure to align can result in uneven tyre wear, poor handling and reduced braking performance. A 500km break-in period is recommended for springs to settle and bushings to bed in. For maximum performance on lifted Rangers, consider upgrading to heavy-duty control arms to correct geometry and improve articulation.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for Ford Ranger Next Gen models from 2022-current across all cab configurations (single, super, dual) and engine types (petrol and diesel). The kit uses direct bolt-in OE-replacement design with no modifications required. If you're unsure about your specific Ranger variant or have aftermarket modifications already fitted, our suspension experts can confirm compatibility before you order.
This Dobinsons kit provides 50mm (2 inches) of lift at both the front and rear, maintaining balanced stance and factory rake. The lift height is achieved through raised coil springs at the front and 40mm raised leaf springs at the rear. Actual installed height may vary slightly depending on the spring rate selected and your vehicle's constant accessory load, which is why accurate load calculation is important during ordering.
The kit includes everything needed for a complete front and rear suspension upgrade: 2x Dobinsons Nitro Gas front struts, 2x front coil springs (multiple rates available), 2x Nitro Gas rear shock absorbers, 2x 40mm raised rear leaf springs, 4x heavy-duty U-bolts, and a polyurethane leaf spring bush kit. Please note that upper control arms, extended brake lines, wheel spacers and alignment are not included but may be required depending on your setup and tyre size.
Absolutely. This kit is engineered specifically for towing applications with firmer rear leaf springs, upgraded damping control, and vehicle-specific valving to reduce squat, sway and body roll under tow-ball loads. The larger bore shocks with increased oil capacity maintain consistent damping even during extended highway towing. For maximum towing performance and adjustability, many Ranger owners pair this kit with airbag suspension to fine-tune rear support based on variable towed weights.
While not mandatory for a 2 inch lift, upgrading to heavy-duty aftermarket control arms is highly recommended for improved suspension geometry, increased articulation, and enhanced durability under touring and off-road loads. Aftermarket control arms correct camber and caster angles altered by the lift, reduce bushing wear, and often feature stronger construction with greasable joints. Many Ranger owners choose to upgrade control arms at the same time as their lift kit for maximum long-term performance and handling.
Yes, wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after any lift kit installation. Lifting your Ranger changes suspension geometry including camber, caster and toe angles, which directly affects tyre wear, steering response, braking performance and handling stability. A qualified suspension or 4WD workshop must perform a full four-wheel alignment to manufacturer specifications after installation. Failure to align your vehicle will result in premature and uneven tyre wear, poor handling, and potentially dangerous driving characteristics.
Yes, one of the key benefits of this Dobinsons kit is the ability to select front and rear spring rates matched to your constant accessory load. During checkout you'll specify your front and rear constant loads (bull bar, winch, canopy, toolboxes, drawers, long-range tanks, etc.) and the appropriate spring rates will be included in your kit. It's critical to select rates based only on permanent accessories, not occasional loads or towing weight. Selecting springs that are too heavy will result in harsh ride quality and potential damage to other suspension components.
A 2 inch lift on the Ford Ranger Next Gen typically allows fitment of tyres up to 32-33 inches diameter (265/70R17 or 275/65R18 range) with minimal to no trimming, depending on wheel offset and driving conditions. Larger aggressive tread patterns may require minor guard trimming or aftermarket flares. Actual tyre clearance depends on wheel offset, backspacing, tyre brand/tread pattern and suspension articulation. We recommend test-fitting and checking clearance at full lock and full compression before committing to new wheels and tyres.
Dobinsons backs this complete lift kit with a comprehensive Australian manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Dobinsons has been manufacturing suspension in Australia for over 60 years and stands behind every component with rigorous in-house testing and quality control. Warranty terms apply when the kit is installed by a qualified technician following Dobinsons specifications and used within design parameters. Full warranty details are included with your kit, and our team can answer any warranty questions before or after purchase.
Yes, this Dobinsons kit is engineered for excellent daily driving comfort while delivering superior off-road and towing performance.

Unlike harsh truck-style suspension, this kit maintains comfort for commuting and long-distance touring while still supporting heavy loads and rough tracks. Thousands of Australian Ranger owners trust Dobinsons for reliable daily-driver performance combined with weekend adventure capability.
Sorted My Ranger for Serious Outback Work
Been running this Dobinsons 2-inch lift kit on my Next Gen Ranger for six months now, tackling everything from the Simpson Desert to Cape York tracks. The nitro gas shocks handle corrugations brilliantly and the ride quality loaded up with recovery gear and fuel is leagues ahead of the stock setup. Worth every cent if you're doing proper remote touring where reliability matters.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
Fitted this Dobinsons 2-inch lift kit to our new Ranger before our trip down to Wilson's Prom and the difference is night and day. The ride quality is genuinely impressive even with the camper trailer loaded up, and the kids aren't complaining about the bumpy corrugations anymore. Really happy with how it's transformed the truck for our weekend getaways without making it feel too stiff for daily driving around town.(5)
Perfect Setup for Remote Touring
Been running the Dobinsons 2-inch lift on my Next Gen Ranger for about 6 months now, including a solid trip through the Simpson and plenty of corrugated tracks up in the Kimberley. The ride quality is genuinely impressive - soaks up the washboard way better than the old setup and hasn't bottomed out once even fully loaded with gear and water. Fitment was spot on and the nitro gas shocks are holding up brilliantly in the dust and heat.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for My Work Ranger
Been running this Dobinsons 2 inch lift kit on my Ranger for three months now and it's absolutely transformed the ride. Loaded up with tools and materials every day, then hit some rough tracks on the weekend, and the nitro gas shocks handle it all without breaking a sweat. Fitment was spot on and the bloke at 4WD Suspension had it shipped within a couple days. Well worth the investment for anyone who actually uses their ute properly.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Ranger
Just got back from a week-long trip down the Victorian High Country with the kids and the Dobinsons 2-inch lift kit handled the corrugated tracks beautifully. The nitro gas shocks make a huge difference compared to the factory setup - no more complaints from the missus about being bounced around. Really impressed with how level the Ranger sits now even when loaded up with the rooftop tent, camping gear and the esky full of supplies.(5)
