Lift height compliance: Suspension lifts of this size may exceed your state's allowable limit without engineering certification. Check your state's light vehicle modification rules (VSB14/NCOP) before fitting.
Choose your front and rear spring rate based on the constant weight you carry, not just peak load. A canopy, bullbar, winch, second battery tray and roof rack all add constant front-end weight, while a caravan tow ball load, dual fridge slide or long-range fuel tank adds constant rear load. Tell our team what accessories are fitted so we can confirm the right coil and leaf spring combination for this kit.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a qualified workshop, given the leaf spring and shock mounting work involved. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitment to correct castor and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the springs and shocks to settle before fine-tuning tyre pressures and alignment. Pair the kit with upgraded control arms if your PX1/PX2 needs corrected upper control arm geometry at 3" of lift.
Dobinsons has built 4WD suspension components for Australian conditions for decades, and this IFP kit is developed specifically for the Ranger PX1/PX2 chassis. Every kit is backed by manufacturer warranty and dispatched from Australian stock with fitment support from our team. Tradespeople and tourers running Rangers commonly choose Dobinsons for the adjustability and rebuildable shock design — view the full Dobinsons range.
This kit suits Ranger PX1/PX2 owners fitting a canopy or tray, towing a van or trailer regularly, or wanting extra tyre clearance for touring. Tradespeople carrying tools daily and tourers running roof-top tents both benefit from the adjustable lift and load-matched springs. If you're carrying variable loads rather than a constant one, ask us about airbag suspension to complement this kit.

Yes, this Dobinsons IFP Adjustable Lift Kit is built specifically for the Ford Ranger PX1 (2011-2015) and PX2 (2015-2018) with the 3.2L P5AT 5-cylinder or 2.2L P4AT 4-cylinder turbo diesel engines. It's not a universal kit, so confirm your build date and series against our fitment table above. If you're unsure which series you have, our team can check your VIN or build plate details before you order.
This kit gives an adjustable 2" to 3" lift front and rear, set by the shock and spring combination selected for your load. The IFP monotube shocks allow this range without swapping components, so you can dial in the height that suits your tyre size and accessory load. Most PX1/PX2 owners run 2" for balanced on-road handling or 3" for maximum tyre clearance.
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 and 2 rear Dobinsons IFP adjustable monotube shocks, front coil springs, raised rear leaf springs, U-bolt kits and greasable shackle bushes, plus fitting hardware and instructions. Upper and lower control arms and steering dampers are sold separately, as noted in the kit contents list. Everything needed for the shock and spring install is included in this package.
Yes, the coil and leaf spring rates in this kit are selected to suit a constant accessory or towing load, not just peak capacity. Tell our team your tow ball weight and any fitted accessories like a canopy or bullbar so we can confirm the correct spring combination. Running the wrong spring rate for a heavy tow ball load can cause sag over time, so accurate load info matters here.
At 3" of lift, upper control arm geometry on the PX1/PX2 can benefit from an upgrade to correct castor angle and CV joint working angles. At 2" of lift many vehicles run fine on factory control arms, but it depends on your final ride height and tyre size. Our control arm range is worth checking if you're going for the full 3" lift.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this lift kit. Ride height changes affect castor, camber and toe, and an alignment corrects these to factory-equivalent tolerances at the new height. Skipping alignment leads to uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel on the highway.
Yes, Dobinsons offers coil and leaf spring options to match different constant loads for the Ranger PX1/PX2. Tell us what's permanently fitted — bullbar, winch, canopy, dual battery, long-range tank or caravan tow ball weight — and we'll recommend the matching spring rate. This ensures the vehicle sits level and handles predictably once loaded.
A 2" to 3" lift on the PX1/PX2 generally clears larger tyres than factory, though the exact size depends on your wheel offset and any trimming of guard liners. Our team can advise on tyre sizes that clear cleanly at your chosen lift height without rubbing. It's worth confirming this before you buy tyres to avoid clearance issues.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Full warranty terms are provided with your order documentation, and our team can talk you through the claims process if you ever need it. We stock this kit in Australia, so warranty support is handled locally rather than through an overseas supplier.
Yes, the IFP monotube shocks are tuned to keep a comfortable ride at highway speeds while still handling corrugations and load changes off-road. Many PX1/PX2 owners run this kit as their daily driver as well as for towing and touring trips. The adjustable lift setting lets you dial in a ride quality that suits everyday commuting rather than only off-road use.
Excellent Ranger upgrade
The Ranger feels smoother, more stable and handles loads much better. The adjustable lift gives it a great stance too.(5)
