Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and suspension performance. When ordering, choose your spring rates based on constant accessory load only — this means weight that is permanently installed on your vehicle, not occasional loads. Common front constant loads include steel bull bars (30-40kg), winches (30-40kg), heavy-duty batteries, and long range fuel tanks. Rear constant loads include alloy canopies (70-100kg), steel trays (80-120kg), drawer systems (50-80kg), dual spare wheel carriers, and rear bars. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, and towing do not count as constant load — the springs are designed with headroom for these temporary additions. Selecting a spring rate heavier than your actual constant load will result in harsh ride quality and can cause premature wear to other suspension components.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD workshop or experienced home mechanic is recommended for this complete lift kit. The installation process typically requires 6-8 hours and involves removal of existing shocks, springs, and leaf spring hardware, followed by installation of all new components with proper torque specifications. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering geometry, even tyre wear, and optimal handling characteristics. A 500km break-in period is recommended to allow springs to settle and bushings to seat properly — re-check all fastener torques after this initial period. For vehicles being lifted to the maximum 3-inch height or running heavy front loads, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to maintain correct castor angle and prevent ball joint binding.
Dobinsons has been engineering premium 4WD suspension solutions for over 60 years, with extensive experience in Australian outback conditions and proven performance across thousands of touring and working vehicles. Every Dobinsons suspension component undergoes rigorous real-world testing on corrugated tracks, desert terrain, and heavy-load scenarios to ensure reliability when you need it most. Dobinsons backs their products with comprehensive warranty coverage and is trusted by professional tourers, emergency services, mining operations, and tradespeople who demand dependable performance in the harshest environments Australia can deliver.
This adjustable height lift kit is ideal for Ford Ranger PX3 owners who need versatility — tradespeople running different load configurations day-to-day, touring families who switch between solo driving and fully loaded expedition setups, and caravan towers who need precise height control for optimal tow vehicle geometry. The adjustable height feature eliminates the need to change springs when your load requirements change, while the monotube shock technology ensures consistent performance whether you're unladen on highway commutes or fully loaded on remote tracks. If you regularly carry maximum payload or tow at GVM limits, also consider adding airbag suspension for additional load support and level maintenance.

This kit is specifically engineered for Ford Ranger PX3 (also known as PXIII) models from 2018 to 2023, including all cab configurations (Single, Super, and Dual Cab) and trim levels (XL, XLT, Wildtrak). It fits both 4x2 and 4x4 variants with the standard coil front and leaf rear suspension setup. If you have a Raptor model or have made previous suspension modifications, please contact us to confirm compatibility before ordering.
This adjustable height kit provides approximately 2-3 inches (50-75mm) of lift at the front and 40mm (approximately 1.6 inches) at the rear. The unique feature of this kit is the adjustable height system on the front coils, allowing you to fine-tune your lift height based on front accessory weight and desired vehicle stance. Actual lift height achieved will vary based on the spring rate selected and your vehicle's constant load configuration. The rear lift is fixed at 40mm via the raised leaf springs.
This comprehensive kit includes everything needed for a complete suspension upgrade: 2 monotube IFP front shocks, 2 adjustable height front coil springs, 2 monotube IFP rear shocks, 2 heavy-duty 40mm raised rear leaf springs, 4 U-bolts for leaf spring installation, and 1 complete polyurethane bush kit. All necessary mounting hardware and fasteners are included. Note that upper control arms, extended brake lines, and wheel alignment are not included but may be required depending on your final lift height and existing vehicle configuration.
Yes, this kit is excellent for towing applications thanks to the monotube IFP shock technology which provides superior damping control and fade resistance under load. The progressive spring rates and monotube design maintain vehicle stability when towing at or near maximum capacity. When selecting spring rates, be sure to account for any permanent tow bar and accessory weight, but remember that the trailer tongue weight itself is considered an occasional load. For regular heavy towing or caravan use, consider adding airbag suspension helpers for additional rear support and the ability to level your vehicle under varying tongue weights.
For the 2-inch lift setting or if running lighter front loads, the factory control arms are generally adequate on the PX3 Ranger. However, if you're adjusting to the maximum 3-inch lift height or installing heavy front accessories like steel bull bars and winches, upgraded control arms are highly recommended to maintain correct castor angle and prevent ball joint binding. Upgraded arms also provide better clearance for larger tyres and improve suspension geometry for optimal handling. Our team can advise on whether your specific build requires control arm upgrades based on your intended use and accessory fitment.
Yes, professional wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on your Ford Ranger PX3. Lifting the vehicle changes suspension geometry including castor, camber, and toe settings, which affects steering feel, tyre wear patterns, and overall handling characteristics. A proper 4-wheel alignment by a shop experienced with lifted 4WDs will ensure your Ranger tracks straight, tyres wear evenly, and handling remains predictable both on-road and off-road. Most quality 4WD workshops include alignment in their lift kit installation service.
Select spring rates based exclusively on your constant accessory load — weight that is permanently installed on your vehicle. Measure and list all front accessories (bull bar, winch, long range tank weights) and rear accessories (canopy/tray weight, drawer systems, dual battery setups, rear bar). Do not include occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, tools, or towing tongue weight — the springs are engineered with headroom for these temporary additions. If you're between spring rate categories, it's better to choose the lighter option for better ride quality. Our team can help you calculate your total constant load and select the optimal spring rates if you're unsure.
With this 2-3 inch lift kit installed, Ford Ranger PX3 owners can typically fit 32-inch tyres (265/70R17 or 275/65R18) with minimal to no rubbing on standard offset wheels. Some trimming of plastic guard liner tabs may be required for full lock articulation depending on wheel offset. For 33-inch tyres (285/70R17 or 285/65R18), additional modifications such as guard trimming, wheel spacers, or aftermarket wheels with different offset may be necessary. Actual tyre clearance depends on wheel offset, tyre brand/tread pattern, and whether you're running front accessories that may limit turning radius. Always test fit and check clearance at full lock and full suspension compression before committing to a tyre size.
Dobinsons backs this complete lift kit with comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage against defects in materials and workmanship. Shock absorbers typically carry a 2-year warranty, while coil springs and leaf springs are covered by warranty for the life of the springs under normal use conditions. Warranty coverage requires professional installation with proper torque specifications and proof of purchase. The polyurethane bushings and hardware are also covered under standard warranty terms. Keep your installation receipt and ensure regular maintenance including periodic fastener torque checks to maintain warranty validity.
Absolutely — this Dobinsons monotube IFP kit is engineered to deliver excellent on-road comfort while providing the lift and load capacity needed for 4WD adventures. The monotube shock design and quality valve tuning ensure controlled damping without the harshness common to budget lift kits. Many Ranger PX3 owners run this setup as their daily driver, enjoying improved ground clearance and commanding driving position while maintaining comfortable highway manners and predictable handling. The adjustable height feature also allows you to dial in your preferred stance for optimal ride quality based on your typical load. Expect firmer ride than factory if you select spring rates heavier than your actual constant load, so accurate spring selection is key to daily driving comfort.
