The Dobinsons Nitro Gas Lift Kit gives the Ford Ranger PX3 (2018-2022) a 2" front and 2" rear lift using monotube Nitro Gas shocks, vehicle-specific front coil springs and raised rear leaf springs. The kit lifts load capacity for touring and towing while keeping factory-like ride comfort, with front struts, rear shocks, HT U-bolts and a polyurethane bush kit all included for a complete lift kit install. Every component is matched by Dobinsons specifically for the PX3 chassis, not a generic universal fit.

Choose your front coil and rear leaf spring rate based on the constant accessory load you carry, not just occasional weight. Front accessories that add constant load include steel bullbars, winches and driving light bars. Rear accessories to account for include tray or canopy weight, dual battery setups, water tanks, drawer systems and towball download from a camper trailer or caravan.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a competent DIY mechanic with the correct spring compressors and torque equipment. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct camber, caster and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the leaf springs and polyurethane bushes to settle before final alignment. If you're running heavier front-end accessories, pair this kit with upgraded control arm upgrades to correct front geometry and CV joint angles at the raised height.
Dobinsons has been developing 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, with coil and leaf spring rates engineered against local touring and GVM loads rather than imported off-the-shelf rates. This kit is backed by Dobinsons manufacturer warranty and dispatched from Australian stock. You can view the full Dobinsons range to compare shock series and spring options for the PX3.
This kit suits Ranger PX3 owners who tow camper trailers or caravans, tradespeople running a loaded canopy or tray, and touring owners fitting bullbars, drawers and long-range fuel tanks. If your load varies significantly trip to trip, it's worth comparing this fixed-rate kit against our airbag suspension options for adjustable rear load support.

Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas Lift Kit is built specifically for the Ford Ranger PX3, covering 2018-2022 models with the 2.0L Bi-Turbo and 3.2L 5-cylinder diesel engines. It's not a universal kit — the coil springs, leaf springs and shock valving are matched to the PX3 chassis and factory mounting points. If you're unsure of your exact build date or variant, check our parts finder for the Ranger PX3 or contact our team before ordering.
This kit provides a 2" front and 2" rear lift on the Ranger PX3. The front lift comes from the matched coil springs and struts, while the rear lift comes from the raised leaf springs and rear shocks. This is a moderate, tourer-friendly lift height that generally doesn't require driveline or brake line modifications, though alignment is still required.
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 front Nitro Gas strut assemblies with matched coil springs, 2 rear Nitro Gas shock absorbers, 2 raised rear leaf springs, an HT U-bolt kit for the rear leaf mounting, and a polyurethane bush kit for the leaf spring eyes and shackles. Fitment hardware and instructions are included. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if your setup needs them.
Yes, the raised rear leaf springs and Nitro Gas rear shocks are specified to lift constant load capacity for towing camper trailers and caravans on the PX3. The front coil springs and struts help maintain steering geometry and ride height when a loaded tow ball or drawbar weight is applied. If your towing load varies a lot trip to trip, ask our team whether a heavier leaf pack or airbag assistance suits your setup better.
At a 2" lift height on the PX3, factory control arms will function, but they can run CV joints and ball joints closer to their angle limits. If you're carrying heavier front accessories like a bullbar and winch, or want to correct camber and caster fully at the new ride height, we'd recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms. Our team can advise based on your accessory load and driving style.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Ride height changes at both the front struts and rear leaf springs alter camber, caster and toe, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and steering feel. We recommend a 500km bedding-in period for the leaf springs and polyurethane bushes before your final alignment is set.
Dobinsons offers the front coil springs and rear leaf springs for the PX3 in different load ratings to suit your constant accessory weight. Heavier accessories like a steel canopy, dual battery tray or long-range fuel tank warrant a firmer rear leaf rate, while lighter setups can run a standard rate for better unladen comfort. Talk to our fitment team about your specific accessory list before ordering so we can confirm the right spring rate.
A 2" lift on the Ranger PX3 typically creates clearance for a modest increase in tyre diameter over stock, though exact clearance depends on your wheel offset, width and any guard modifications. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before purchase so we can advise on clearance and any additional trimming that may be needed.
This kit is backed by Dobinsons manufacturer warranty, covering manufacturing defects in the shocks, springs and included hardware. Warranty terms are handled through 4WD Suspension as your Australian supplier, and we can talk you through the claims process if you ever need it. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for warranty reference.
Yes, this kit is designed for dual-purpose use, meaning it's set up to be comfortable unladen on the daily commute while still supporting a loaded canopy, bullbar or trailer when needed. The Nitro Gas monotube shocks are tuned to control the vehicle at both empty and laden weights rather than being a stiff, off-road-only setup. Most PX3 owners run this kit as their everyday suspension without a noticeable harshness increase over stock.
