Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal performance, ride quality, and component longevity. Choose your front and rear spring rates based on constant accessory load only — the combined weight of permanently installed equipment that your vehicle carries every day. Do not factor in occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, water tanks, or firewood, as over-rating your springs will result in harsh ride quality and accelerated wear on bushings, shock absorbers, and chassis mounts.
Common front constant loads include: steel bull bar (30-60kg), winch (35-50kg), dual battery system (20-30kg), long-range fuel tank if front-mounted (40-80kg full), upgraded intercooler and bash plates (10-25kg).
Common rear constant loads include: aluminium or steel canopy (60-120kg), drawer systems and storage (40-80kg), dual spare wheel carriers (40-70kg), rear bar and wheel carrier (25-50kg), auxiliary fuel tank (40-100kg full), fixed water tanks (50-100kg full).
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and ride height adjustment. While experienced DIY enthusiasts with appropriate tools can complete the installation, a full wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to restore correct camber, caster, and toe settings and prevent premature tyre wear. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle and polyurethane bushings to bed in before making final ride height adjustments using the coilover preload spanners.
For vehicles with 2+ inches of lift, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct ball joint angles, restore CV joint geometry, and maximize suspension travel and articulation off-road.
Dobinsons has been engineering and manufacturing premium 4WD suspension in Australia for over six decades, with every component designed and tested across the country's most punishing outback tracks, coastal sand dunes, and alpine terrain. Trusted by long-distance tourers, professional expedition companies, mining contractors, and tradespeople who demand reliability under extreme loads and conditions, Dobinsons backs every product with comprehensive warranty coverage and Australia-wide dealer support.
Explore the complete Dobinsons suspension range including remote reservoir shocks, heavy-duty leaf springs, and complementary steering and chassis components designed to work as an integrated system.
This adjustable lift kit is ideal for Ford Ranger NewGen owners who carry constant accessory loads from trade equipment, touring setups, or family adventure builds, and need the flexibility to fine-tune ride height as configurations change. Weekend warriors, grey nomads towing caravans, and tradespeople running loaded trays will appreciate the load-carrying capability, while the adjustable coilovers allow you to dial in perfect stance and handling.
If you frequently exceed 300kg rear load or tow near maximum capacity, consider adding airbag suspension to supplement leaf springs for on-demand load support and leveling without compromising unloaded ride quality.

This Dobinsons Monotube IFP Adjustable Height Lift Kit is engineered specifically for the Ford Ranger NewGen (PX3 generation, 2022-current models) and fits all cab configurations including single cab, super cab, and dual cab variants. The kit is compatible with both petrol and diesel engine options without modification. If you own an earlier PX, PX2, or PXII Ranger, different part numbers are required. Use our online parts finder or contact our team to confirm exact fitment for your VIN, build date, and current suspension configuration.
This kit delivers 2 inches (50mm) of front lift and 40mm of rear lift for a level or slightly nose-high stance depending on your load. The front coilover shock absorbers feature coil preload adjusters that allow you to fine-tune ride height from 0-2 inches to compensate for varying accessory weights such as bull bars, winches, and roof racks. This adjustability ensures you can maintain factory rake and geometry even as your build evolves. Rear lift is fixed at 40mm via the raised leaf springs, which can be further customized by specifying the correct spring rate for your constant load.
This is a complete front and rear lift kit including 2 x Dobinsons monotube IFP front shock absorbers with preload adjusters, 2 x front coil springs, 2 x coilover adjustment spanners, 2 x monotube IFP rear shock absorbers, 2 x 40mm raised rear leaf springs, 4 x heavy-duty U-bolts, 1 x polyurethane leaf spring bush kit, and all necessary hardware. You will need to separately purchase extended brake lines if required, and may need upper control arms depending on your desired final ride height and CV joint angles. Professional wheel alignment is mandatory after installation and is not included in the kit price.
Yes, this Dobinsons kit is highly suitable for towing when correctly specified with appropriate spring rates for your constant accessory load, not the towing weight itself. The 50mm bore monotube shocks provide fade-free damping control under load, while the raised leaf springs can be custom-rated to support constant rear loads from canopies and drawer systems. For frequent heavy towing near GVM limits or variable trailer weights, consider adding airbag suspension as a supplement to provide on-demand load support and maintain level ride height. Always select spring rates based on permanent vehicle load only, as occasional towing loads should not influence your spring rate choice.
While this 2-inch lift kit can be installed with factory control arms, upgrading to adjustable or extended upper control arms is highly recommended to restore proper ball joint angles, optimize camber and caster settings, and maximize suspension travel for off-road articulation. The NewGen Ranger's independent front suspension geometry changes significantly with lift, and correcting these angles will improve steering feel, tire wear patterns, and component longevity. Our suspension specialists can recommend compatible control arm options during your order consultation based on your intended use, tire size, and whether you plan to run maximum lift height or adjust down via the coil preload system.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on the Ford Ranger NewGen. The 2-inch front lift and 40mm rear lift will alter your vehicle's camber, caster, and toe angles beyond factory specifications, which can cause premature and uneven tire wear, poor steering response, and potential safety issues. A qualified alignment shop with 4WD experience should reset all angles to manufacturer specifications or performance alignment settings if you're running larger tires. Schedule your alignment after the 500km break-in period to allow springs to settle and achieve final ride height before making alignment adjustments.
Spring rate selection must be based exclusively on your constant accessory load—the permanent weight of equipment your vehicle carries every single day. Measure or estimate the combined weight of your bull bar, winch, canopy, drawer system, dual batteries, long-range tanks when full, and any other fixed accessories, then select the corresponding spring rate option during checkout. Do not include occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, firewood, or water in removable containers, as over-rating your springs will result in harsh ride quality and potential damage to shock absorbers and bushings. If you're between ratings or unsure of your accessory weight, contact our team for a personalized spring rate recommendation based on your specific build list.
With the 2-inch front and 40mm rear lift provided by this Dobinsons kit, most Ford Ranger NewGen owners can comfortably fit 32-inch tires (265/70R17 or 275/65R18) with minimal to no rubbing, depending on wheel offset and driving conditions. Some trimming of plastic inner guards may be required for full articulation off-road or at full steering lock. If you plan to run 33-inch or larger tires, additional modifications such as guard trimming, upper control arm upgrades for clearance, and potentially diff drop or geometry correction components may be necessary. Always test-fit new tires and wheels at full lock and suspension compression before committing to a size, and consult our team for tire and wheel offset recommendations specific to your build.
Dobinsons backs this complete lift kit with a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty covering materials and workmanship defects when installed by a qualified professional and used within the product's intended design parameters. Shock absorbers, coil springs, and leaf springs are covered under warranty terms that vary by component—typically 12-24 months depending on application and use. Warranty coverage requires proof of professional installation, adherence to recommended service intervals including shock inspection and bushing maintenance, and does not cover damage from incorrect spring rate selection, overloading beyond GVM, racing, or collision damage. Contact us or visit the Dobinsons brand page for complete warranty terms and registration information.
Absolutely—this Dobinsons Monotube IFP kit is engineered to deliver excellent on-road comfort for daily commuting, highway cruising, and long-distance touring while providing firm control for off-road and loaded conditions. The variable velocity valving is specifically tuned to absorb small bumps and road imperfections at low speeds while ramping up damping force for high-speed stability and corrugations. When correctly specified with appropriate spring rates for your constant accessory load, you'll experience a compliant, controlled ride that's far superior to budget spacer-style lifts. Thousands of Australian Ranger owners trust Dobinsons suspension for vehicles that serve as both family transport and weekend adventure rigs without compromise.
Perfect Upgrade for Family Camping Adventures
Recently fitted this Dobinsons 2-inch lift kit to our Ranger and couldn't be happier with the results. The adjustable height feature is brilliant for when we're loaded up with camping gear and the kids' stuff heading to Fraser or the High Country. Ride quality has actually improved over the stock setup, even on corrugated dirt roads. Well worth the investment for anyone doing regular touring.(5)
Perfect Setup for Remote Outback Touring
Just finished a 3000km trip through the Tanami and these Dobinsons adjustable shocks handled everything from bull dust to corrugations without breaking a sweat. The adjustable height feature is brilliant for load changes when you're carrying extra fuel and water for extended trips, and the ride quality is miles ahead of the stock setup. Installation was straightforward and the build quality feels like they'll go the distance in harsh conditions.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventure Rig
Fitted the Dobinsons 2-inch lift kit to our NewGen Ranger about three months ago and it's been brilliant for our regular trips down to the Victorian High Country. The adjustable height feature is a game-changer when we're loaded up with the camper trailer and all the family gear. Ride quality on corrugated tracks is noticeably smoother than the stock setup, and the kids aren't complaining about being bounced around anymore.(5)
Outstanding Kit for Remote Touring
Been running this Dobinsons adjustable lift kit on my NewGen Ranger through the Simpson Desert and Canning Stock Route, and it's handled everything I've thrown at it. The ride quality is surprisingly composed even with a full touring load, and being able to fine-tune the height has been brilliant for different terrains. Fitment was spot-on and the monotube design keeps everything cool even during extended corrugated sections.(5)
Best upgrade I've made to the Ranger
Been running the Dobinsons lift kit on my new gen Ranger for about 6 months now and it's been brilliant. Daily commute to site is noticeably smoother than stock, and the adjustable height means I can set it up properly when I'm loaded with tools and gear. Took it through some rough tracks out past Lithgow last month and the thing handled it like a dream - well worth the money for a kit that actually does what it says.(5)
