Choosing the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and component longevity. Select spring rates based on your constant accessory load — the weight permanently fitted to your vehicle during normal use. Common front constant loads include steel bullbars, winches, driving lights, and heavy-duty batteries. Rear constant loads include aluminium trays, canopies, drawer systems, dual battery setups, long-range fuel tanks, and roof racks. Occasional loads such as camping gear, recovery equipment, passengers, or trailers should NOT be factored into spring selection — these are best managed with supplementary airbag systems. Selecting excessively heavy spring rates for occasional use will result in harsh ride quality and accelerated wear on suspension bushings and chassis mounts.
This lift kit is designed for professional workshop installation or experienced home mechanics with appropriate tools including spring compressors, torque wrenches, and vehicle lifting equipment. Installation typically requires 4-6 hours and involves removal of factory suspension components, fitting of new struts and shocks, rear shackle replacement, and initial ride height adjustment. A full 4-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and ensure proper steering geometry — expect camber, caster, and toe adjustments. All suspension fasteners must be torqued to Ford specifications with the vehicle at normal ride height. A 500-kilometre break-in period allows springs to settle and dampers to bed-in — recheck all fasteners and fine-tune coilover height after this period. For lifts exceeding 40mm, consider pairing with upgraded control arms to restore factory suspension geometry and maximise component life.

The Dobinsons Monotube Easy-Lift Kit is ideal for Ford Ranger Next Gen owners who demand adjustability and premium performance — from tradies running variable tool and material loads to touring families who switch between weekday commuting and fully-loaded weekend expeditions. The height-adjustable coilover design makes this kit particularly suited to owners who frequently modify their accessory setup or tow different trailers, allowing quick suspension tuning without spring changes. Caravan towers and camper trailer users benefit from the kit's enhanced load control and stability, while the monotube rear shocks handle heavy tongue weights without fade. For those carrying extreme rear loads regularly, consider supplementing with airbag suspension for independent load adjustment and rear squat elimination.

This kit is specifically engineered for all Ford Ranger Next Generation (2022-current) models including XL, XLS, XLT, Sport, Wildtrak, and Raptor variants fitted with factory suspension. It suits both petrol and diesel engines, 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains, and single-cab, super-cab, and dual-cab body styles. The kit does not fit earlier PX, PXII, or PXIII Ranger models which require different part numbers. If you've already fitted aftermarket suspension components or have a modified vehicle, please contact our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
The Dobinsons Monotube Easy-Lift Kit provides an adjustable lift range of approximately 25mm to 50mm (1 to 2 inches) at the front via the coilover strut design, with rear lift of approximately 40-50mm achieved through the combination of monotube shocks and extended shackles. The exact lift height achieved depends on your selected spring rates, constant accessory load, and coilover adjustment setting. This adjustability allows you to fine-tune ride height to accommodate different tyre sizes, maintain level stance with front accessories, or compensate for rear load. The coilover adjustment can be changed without removing components using the included C-spanners.
This complete kit includes 2 pre-assembled front monotube struts with Dobinsons coil springs and new top mounts, 2 rear monotube shock absorbers, 2 extended 2-inch heavy-duty greasable shackles, 2 coilover adjusting C-spanners for height adjustment, and all necessary mounting hardware and bushings. The front struts arrive fully assembled to save installation time and ensure perfect component compatibility. Spring rates are selectable at checkout based on your constant load requirements. Note that upper control arms, extended brake lines, and other chassis components required for larger lift configurations are sold separately and may be recommended depending on your final ride height and intended use.
Yes, the monotube shock design is specifically engineered to maintain consistent damping performance under heavy towing loads, making this kit excellent for caravan and camper trailer use. The monotube construction resists oil aeration and heat fade that can occur with twin-tube shocks during extended towing, ensuring stable handling and reduced body roll when hauling heavy tongue weights. The adjustable front coilover design allows you to increase preload when towing to maintain level stance and prevent excessive front-end dive during braking. For ultimate towing performance and load adjustment capability, many customers pair this kit with supplementary airbag suspension at the rear for independent control of rear ride height and load support.
For lift heights up to 40mm, factory control arms typically provide adequate geometry and the kit can be installed without control arm upgrades. However, if you're adjusting the coilovers to achieve lifts approaching or exceeding 50mm, or if you're installing larger tyres (33 inches or above), aftermarket control arms are highly recommended to restore factory suspension geometry, maintain optimal wheel alignment, and prevent accelerated wear on ball joints and bushings. Upgraded control arms also improve wheel travel and articulation for serious off-road use. Our suspension specialists can assess your specific build requirements and recommend whether control arm upgrades would benefit your particular application and intended use.
Yes, a full 4-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit including this Dobinsons system. Changing ride height alters camber, caster, and toe angles which directly affect tyre wear, steering feel, and vehicle stability. Your alignment technician will need to adjust these angles back within Ford's specifications (or optimised off-road specs if requested) to prevent premature tyre wear and ensure predictable handling. Most professional installers include alignment in their installation quote. Additionally, after the initial 500-kilometre break-in period when springs have fully settled and components have bedded in, you should recheck alignment and torque specifications to ensure everything remains within specification.
Yes, this kit allows you to select custom spring rates for both front and rear based on your specific constant accessory load during the checkout process. It's critical to choose spring rates that match only your permanent accessory weight — items like bullbars, winches, canopies, drawer systems, and long-range tanks that are always fitted to the vehicle. Select the appropriate load category (light, medium, or heavy constant load) for front and rear independently based on what you actually carry. Common mistakes include selecting springs that are too heavy to accommodate occasional camping gear or passengers, which results in harsh ride quality and potential damage to other suspension components. When in doubt, choose the lighter spring rate as the adjustable coilover design allows you to increase preload if needed.
The 25-50mm lift provided by this kit allows fitment of modestly larger tyres compared to factory size, typically up to 32-inch diameter tyres with standard offset wheels on most Ranger Next Gen variants without rubbing during normal driving. Fitment of 33-inch and larger tyres may require additional modifications such as wheel spacers, aftermarket wheels with different offset, minor guard trimming, or upgraded control arms to maintain clearance during full suspension compression and steering lock. Actual tyre clearance depends on your specific wheel offset, tyre width, tread pattern, and how you adjust the coilover height. We recommend test-fitting your desired wheel and tyre combination and cycling the suspension through full travel before final installation to identify any contact points.

Many Ford Ranger Next Gen owners use this kit as their primary suspension setup for work truck duty, family transport, and recreational touring, appreciating the versatility and all-around performance that eliminates compromise between on-road civility and off-road capability.
Perfect for Loaded Family Camping Trips
Been running this Dobinsons adjustable lift kit on our Ranger for six months now and it's transformed how the ute handles when we're loaded up for weekend trips away. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially on corrugated tracks, and being able to adjust the height means we can level it out perfectly whether we've got the camper trailer hitched or just the rooftop tent. Fitment was spot-on and the monotube design seems to handle heat way better on longer drives. Worth every cent for anyone doing regular family touring.(5)
