Choose your spring rate based on the constant accessory weight sitting on the vehicle, not just occasional payload. A Next Gen Ranger fitted with a steel bull bar, winch, dual battery tray and canopy carries meaningfully more constant load up front and rear than a stock ute, and this shifts which spring works best. Common accessories to account for include bull bars, winches, canopies, tray bodies, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems and caravan or camper trailer ball weight.
Fitting the Dobinsons IMS 2 Inch Lift Kit is a job for an experienced 4WD workshop or a confident DIY installer with the right tools, given the front strut and rear leaf spring work involved. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to bring camber, caster and toe back within specification at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bushing and shock break-in period before final alignment checks and long highway towing. For corrected front-end geometry at 2 inch lift, pair the kit with upgraded control arms.
Dobinsons has been designing and manufacturing 4WD suspension for decades, with IMS monotube shocks developed specifically for Australian conditions including corrugations, heat and dust. Kits are backed by a manufacturer warranty and are widely fitted by touring vehicle owners and tradespeople running heavier constant loads. You can view the full Dobinsons range to compare shocks, springs and accessories for your Ranger.
This kit suits Ranger Next Gen owners who tour with a loaded canopy or camper trailer, tradespeople carrying tools and equipment daily, and anyone fitting a bull bar, winch or long-range tank who needs the front end to sit level. If your accessory load varies significantly trip to trip, also look at airbag suspension to fine-tune rear load support on top of this kit.

This kit is designed for the Ford Ranger Next Gen (PY series), built from 2022 onward, covering both the 2.0L Bi-Turbo four-cylinder and 3.0L V6 diesel variants. It is not a shared fitment with the earlier PX-series Ranger, so double check your build date and engine before ordering. Our parts finder tool and team can confirm exact fitment against your VIN if you're unsure.
The Dobinsons IMS kit delivers a genuine 2" lift front and rear over standard Next Gen Ranger ride height. This comes from raised front coil springs paired with height-adjustable monotube struts, plus matched rear leaf springs. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on constant accessory load already carried on the vehicle.
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 front monotube IMS struts, rear monotube IMS shocks, raised front coil springs, raised rear leaf spring assemblies, U-bolts and leaf spring bushes, plus front strut mounting hardware and fitting instructions. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if your fitment requires them. See the full kit contents list on this page for exact quantities.
Yes, the leaf spring and monotube shock combination is intended to support constant loads such as canopies, drawer systems and trailer ball weight without excessive sag. The height-adjustable front struts let you fine-tune ride height to keep the vehicle level when towing. For frequent variable towing loads, pairing this kit with airbag suspension gives extra adjustability at the rear.
At 2" of lift, factory upper control arms on the Next Gen Ranger can reach the edge of their working angle, affecting camber and CV joint angles. We recommend upgraded control arms to correct geometry and maintain a full range of suspension travel at this lift height. Our team can advise whether your specific accessory setup makes this a priority or optional upgrade.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Camber, caster and toe all shift once the vehicle sits at the new 2" ride height, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and steering feel. We recommend a follow-up alignment check after the first 500km once springs and bushes have settled.
Spring and leaf options can be matched to your constant accessory load, such as a bull bar and winch up front or a canopy and drawers at the rear. Selecting the right rate keeps the Ranger sitting level rather than sagging under everyday gear. Speak with our team about your accessory list before ordering so we can confirm the right spring combination.
The 2" lift from this kit creates additional clearance commonly used to fit a larger tyre than the factory-fitted size on the Next Gen Ranger. Actual maximum tyre size depends on wheel offset, width and whether flares or a diameter increase are involved. We recommend confirming your intended tyre and wheel package with our team before purchase.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms apply to correctly installed kits used within normal 4WD and touring conditions. Keep your proof of purchase and installation details on file, and contact our team if you have any warranty questions.
Yes, the monotube IMS shock design is set up to give controlled damping on sealed roads as well as on unsealed tracks. Many Next Gen Ranger owners run this kit as their daily driver while still towing or touring on weekends. Ride quality will reflect the spring rate selected, so matching springs to your typical load helps keep everyday driving comfortable.
