The Dobinsons IFP Front Lift Kit for Ford Ranger PX1/PX2 (2011-2018) uses monotube struts with an internal floating piston and pre-assembled 2" raised coil springs for a bolt-in front-end lift. The monotube layout keeps oil and gas separate, so it runs cooler than a twin-tube shock on long corrugated stretches and holds consistent steering feel when loaded with a bar and winch. Struts arrive pre-assembled, so front-end fitment is straightforward for an experienced installer. In stock in Australia with Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Front spring selection on the Ranger PX1/PX2 depends on what constant weight sits over the front axle. A steel bull bar, winch and driving light bar all add sprung weight that the standard front spring wasn't designed to carry, which is why the 2" raised spring rate in this kit is matched to typical accessory loads rather than a bare chassis. If you're running a heavier bar and winch combination together, mention this to our team so we can confirm the correct front spring is fitted for your build.
Fitment should be carried out by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or qualified mechanic, since the front strut assembly on the Ranger involves working around the factory upper mount and steering components. A wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to bring camber and caster back within specification at the new ride height. Allow roughly 500km for the new struts and springs to settle before a final alignment check. If you're lifting the front you may also want to look at upgraded control arms to correct CV angles and restore factory-range suspension travel.
Dobinsons has built 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, with components developed and tested locally against the conditions Australian tourers and tradespeople actually drive in. This IFP kit is backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and is sold through our Australian warehouse for fast local dispatch. You can view the full Dobinsons range if you're also after matching rear components or shocks for another vehicle.
This kit suits Ranger PX1/PX2 owners running a front bar, winch or driving lights who need the standard front geometry corrected for that added weight. It's a fit for weekend tourers and tradespeople alike who want factory-style ride quality with a small lift for clearance. If you're also carrying constant rear payload such as a canopy or tools, pair this with airbag suspension or a rated rear spring to keep the vehicle level under load.

Yes, this Dobinsons IFP front lift kit is designed specifically for the Ford Ranger PX1 (2011-2015) and PX2 (2015-2018) with the 2.2L or 3.2L turbo-diesel engine. It's a direct bolt-in replacement for the factory front strut assembly. If you're unsure of your build date or series, check your compliance plate or contact our team before ordering.
This kit provides a 2" front lift over standard ride height using Dobinsons' raised coil springs, pre-assembled onto the IFP monotube strut. This is enough to clear a bull bar, winch and driving light bar without pushing the geometry outside factory-correctable range. Rear lift is not included in this kit and should be matched separately.
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 two Dobinsons IFP front monotube struts pre-assembled with 2" raised coil springs, upper strut mounts, bump stops and mounting hardware. Rear shocks and springs are not included and are sold separately. Fitting instructions are supplied with the kit.
This front lift kit is built to carry the added weight of front-mounted accessories like a bar and winch, but towing loads are mostly carried by the rear axle. For a Ranger that tows regularly, we'd recommend pairing this front kit with a rated rear leaf spring or airbag setup to keep the rear from sagging. Talk to our team about matching a rear spring rate to your trailer's ball weight.
It's not mandatory, but a 2" front lift does change CV joint and control arm angles slightly from factory. Many Ranger owners running this lift pair it with upgraded control arms to restore correct geometry and full suspension travel. Our team can advise whether it's needed based on how you use the vehicle.
Yes, a wheel alignment is required after installing this kit to bring camber and caster back within specification at the new ride height. Skipping alignment will cause uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel. We recommend an initial alignment straight after fitment and a follow-up check after around 500km once the springs have settled.
This kit is supplied with Dobinsons' standard 2" raised front spring rate for the Ranger PX1/PX2, matched to typical accessory loads like a bull bar and winch. If you're running a particularly heavy front-end setup, contact our team to confirm whether a firmer front spring option is available for your build.
A 2" front lift generally allows more clearance for a larger tyre than the factory setup, but actual clearance also depends on wheel offset, rear lift height and any bodywork rubbing points. We recommend discussing your target tyre size with our team so we can confirm clearance for your specific wheel and tyre combination.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. Exact warranty terms and claim process are handled through our Australian-based support team, so keep your invoice as proof of purchase. Contact us directly if you have a warranty query on your struts.
Yes, the IFP monotube strut is valved to balance on-road comfort with the extra load of front accessories, so it's suitable for a Ranger used for daily driving as well as touring or towing. Ride quality will feel firmer than a completely stock, unloaded front end, which is normal for a raised spring rate carrying a bar and winch. If your Ranger runs no front accessories at all, mention this to our team when ordering.
