The Dobinsons Monotube IFP Adjustable Front Lift Kit suits the Ford Ranger PX3 (2018-2022) and delivers a fully adjustable 0" to 2" front lift via a threaded strut collar — no spring swap needed to change height. The Internal Floating Piston monotube design separates oil from gas, cutting foaming and heat fade under sustained load. Each strut pairs with a Dobinsons front coil spring rated for bull bars and winches. Stocked in Australia with a 2-year shock warranty, fitment support from our team, and pairs neatly with our coil spring range for the rear.

Because this kit uses an adjustable strut collar rather than interchangeable spring rates, the main variable to plan for is your constant front accessory load before you set ride height. Steel bull bars, winches, driving light bars and bash plates all add weight over the front axle and will use up more of the available adjustment range at a given height. If you're running a heavy bull bar and winch combination, set the strut toward the top of the 0-2" range and check front sag once accessories are fitted, then fine-tune from there.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a competent DIYer with the correct strut tools, given the strut is a sealed monotube assembly. A wheel alignment is mandatory once ride height is set, both to correct camber and toe and to even out tyre wear. Allow a 500km bed-in period before making final height adjustments, as coil springs and bushes settle slightly under normal driving. For PX3s lifted toward the 2" end of the range, pair this kit with upgraded control arms to correct CV and castor angles.
Dobinsons has been developing 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, with kits set up around local roads rather than imported off the shelf. This Monotube IFP kit carries a 2-year manufacturer warranty on the shocks and is dispatched from our Australian stock with fitment support from our team. Tradespeople and tourers running PX3 Rangers use Dobinsons gear because the adjustability lets them dial in a stance that suits their actual accessory load, not a generic setting — view the full Dobinsons range for matching rear options.
This kit suits PX3 owners running front-mounted accessories like bull bars and winches who want to correct front sag and set a specific ride height rather than accept a fixed lift. It also suits tourers who want to fine-tune stance seasonally, for example lower for highway trips and higher for corrugated tracks. If you're also carrying constant rear weight from a canopy or caravan hitch, look at our airbag suspension options to support the rear end.

Yes, this Dobinsons Monotube IFP Adjustable Front Lift Kit is built specifically for the Ford Ranger PX3 (2018-2022), covering dual cab, extra cab and single cab variants with the factory front strut layout. If you're unsure which series your ute is (PX1, PX2 or PX3), check your compliance plate or use our parts finder for the Ranger PX3. Our team can confirm fitment against your VIN before you order if you're not certain.
The front strut is adjustable from 0" to 2" of lift via a threaded spring seat, so you set the exact front height rather than being locked into one figure. This is a front-only kit, so rear ride height is unchanged unless you fit a matching rear kit. Many PX3 owners set the front toward the top of the range when running a bull bar and winch, since that added weight settles the ride height.
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 Monotube IFP adjustable front shock absorbers and 2 x Dobinsons adjustable front coil springs with a 0-2" ride height range, plus the mounting hardware and bushes needed for front strut installation. Fitting instructions are included. Rear shocks and springs are sold separately, and upper and lower control arms are not part of this kit.
This front kit is aimed at supporting the load of front-mounted accessories like bull bars and winches rather than increasing tow ball or GVM capacity at the rear. If you're towing regularly and need extra rear support, we'd recommend pairing it with a rear leaf spring upgrade or airbag suspension to handle tow ball weight. Speak with our team about a front-and-rear combination that matches your specific towing setup.
At the lower end of the 0-1" adjustment range, most PX3s run fine on factory control arms. Toward the full 2" setting, CV and castor angles can move enough that upgraded or adjustable control arms are worth fitting for correct geometry and reduced CV wear. Our team can advise based on the exact height you're planning to run.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit, and again after you finalise your preferred ride height setting. Adjusting the strut collar changes camber and toe, so alignment should be done once accessories are fitted and the suspension has settled. Skipping this step leads to uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel.
This kit uses a fixed-rate front coil spring with an adjustable strut collar for height, rather than a selection of spring rates like some rear leaf spring kits. If you're running a particularly heavy front accessory load, such as a large steel bull bar and dual battery setup, contact our team before ordering so we can confirm the spring will suit your build. We can also advise on matching rear spring or leaf options separately.
A 2" front lift typically opens up clearance for larger tyres on the PX3, commonly up to 33-inch options, though actual clearance depends on wheel offset and whether you've also lifted the rear. For an even stance and maximum tyre clearance, pair this front kit with a matching rear lift kit. We can talk through tyre and wheel combinations for your specific PX3 configuration.
The Dobinsons Monotube IFP shocks in this kit carry a 2-year manufacturer warranty, and the coil springs are covered under Dobinsons' standard structural warranty terms. As an Australian stockist, we handle warranty claims locally rather than sending gear back to an overseas supplier. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes, set toward the lower end of the 0-1" range this kit rides comfortably for daily commuting and highway driving on an unladen PX3. At the full 2" setting with front accessories fitted, it's still road-legal and comfortable, just set up more for a loaded, touring-ready stance. A wheel alignment after your final height setting keeps handling and tyre wear normal for everyday use.
