Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal performance and longevity of your suspension system. Choose your spring rate based on constant accessory load only — this means accessories permanently fitted to your vehicle, not items occasionally carried or towed. Front accessories include bull bars, steel bumpers, winches, long-range fuel tanks, roof racks with permanent loads, dual battery systems, and heavy-duty intercoolers. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, toolboxes, or towing are not considered constant load and should not influence spring selection. Selecting an excessively heavy spring rate will result in harsh ride quality, reduced suspension articulation, and potential damage to other suspension components including shock mounts and control arms.
Professional installation by a qualified suspension specialist is strongly recommended for these adjustable height struts. Installation requires spring compressor equipment, torque wrenches, and proper safety procedures to ensure correct assembly and torque specifications. A full wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to set caster, camber, and toe to manufacturer specifications and ensure proper tire wear and handling characteristics. All coilover adjustments should be made with the vehicle at normal ride height and suspension unloaded. Follow a 500km break-in period during which you should avoid extreme off-road driving or heavy loads while the bushings and components settle into their operating positions. For vehicles with significant front-end loads, consider upgrading to heavy-duty suspension components including upper control arms, bump stops, and steering dampers for optimal performance and safety.

These Dobinsons Monotube IFP Adjustable Height Front Struts are specifically engineered for the Next Gen Ford Ranger introduced in 2023 and suit all current models. They are compatible with all engine variants including 2.0L Bi-Turbo diesel and 3.0L V6 petrol, in both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations. The struts feature vehicle-specific valving and mounting configurations designed specifically for the Next Gen platform's suspension geometry and weight distribution. If you have an earlier model Ranger (PX, PXII, or PXIII), please contact our team as different part numbers are required for those generations.
These struts feature coilover height adjustment which allows you to precisely control your front ride height based on your accessory load and desired stance. The adjustable coilover design provides approximately 50-75mm of height adjustment range depending on your selected spring rate and constant front-end load. Height adjustment is achieved by repositioning the spring seat on the strut body using the included C-spanners, allowing you to maintain optimal suspension geometry while accommodating bull bars, winches, and other heavy accessories. Final ride height will depend on your chosen spring rate, so it's essential to select springs matched to your vehicle's constant accessory weight for proper performance and ground clearance.
This kit includes 2 x Dobinsons Monotube IFP Adjustable Height Front Struts complete with mounting hardware and bushings, plus 2 x Dobinsons Coilover Adjusting C Spanners for height adjustment. The struts come fully assembled and ready to install with your choice of coil springs. Please note that front coil springs are sold separately and must be selected based on your vehicle's constant accessory load including bull bars, winches, and other permanent front-end weight. Comprehensive installation instructions are included to guide proper setup and adjustment procedures.
Yes, these Monotube IFP struts are excellent for towing applications as they maintain superior damping control and stability under the increased loads and dynamic forces associated with towing caravans, camper trailers, and heavy trailers. The monotube design with Internal Floating Piston technology prevents performance fade during extended towing sessions, delivering consistent damping even when towing through corrugated roads or mountainous terrain. However, when selecting your front coil spring rate, do not factor towing loads into your spring selection — choose springs based on constant front accessories only. For complete towing capability, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear which allows you to adjust rear ride height and support based on your trailer's towball weight.
Control arm upgrades are not strictly required when fitting these adjustable struts, but they are highly recommended if you're running significant lift height or carrying heavy front-end accessories. Upgraded upper control arms restore proper suspension geometry after lifting, improve caster angle for better steering feel and stability, and provide additional strength for heavy-duty applications. If you're running a heavy bull bar, winch, or planning serious off-road touring, heavy-duty control arms with increased clearance and stronger ball joints will maximize the performance and longevity of your suspension system. Our team can recommend the ideal control arm upgrade based on your specific setup and intended use.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing these adjustable struts and should be performed by a qualified suspension specialist with experience in 4WD vehicles. Any suspension component replacement or height adjustment affects your vehicle's camber, caster, and toe settings, which directly impact tire wear, steering feel, and vehicle stability. The alignment technician will need to set caster and camber to manufacturer specifications (or performance specifications if you're building an off-road setup) and ensure toe is correctly adjusted for straight-line tracking. Skipping alignment can result in premature tire wear, poor handling characteristics, and unsafe steering behavior, so always factor alignment costs into your suspension upgrade budget.
Yes, selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal performance, comfort, and component longevity, and you must choose springs based on your vehicle's constant accessory load. During ordering, you'll select your front spring rate based on permanent accessories such as bull bars, winches, long-range fuel tanks, and roof racks with fixed loads. It's essential to be honest about your constant load — selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual accessory weight will result in harsh ride quality, reduced suspension articulation, and potential damage to shock mounts and other components. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, or towing should not influence your spring selection as the shock absorbers are designed to handle dynamic load variations within their damping range.
These adjustable struts allow increased ride height which typically provides clearance for larger diameter tyres, though exact fitment depends on your chosen spring rate, height adjustment setting, wheel offset, and tyre specifications. Most Next Gen Rangers can accommodate 32-33 inch tyres with moderate lift and appropriate wheel offset without rubbing on full articulation or steering lock. However, larger tyres may require additional modifications such as guard trimming, aftermarket upper control arms for increased clearance, or offset front bump stops. Always test full steering lock and suspension compression before driving, and remember that larger, heavier tyres can affect your spring rate requirements and overall suspension performance. Consult with our suspension experts for specific tyre fitment recommendations based on your complete setup.

The adjustable height feature also allows you to fine-tune your stance for optimal handling and comfort based on your specific accessory load and driving preferences.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Camping Rig
Recently fitted these Dobinsons adjustable struts to our Next Gen Ranger and the difference is night and day. We do monthly trips up to the high country with the kids and all our gear, and the ride quality is so much better than the stock setup, especially when loaded up. The height adjustability means I can level out the front when towing our camper trailer without any dramas. Well worth the investment for anyone who actually uses their 4WD properly.(5)
Perfect for Heavy Touring Setup
Been running these Dobinsons adjustable struts on my Next Gen Ranger for the past 8 months through the Simpson Desert and Cape York with a full touring setup. The ability to fine-tune the height for different loads is brilliant, and the ride quality is leagues ahead of the stock setup, even when loaded to the gills. Worth every cent if you're serious about remote travel and need something that'll handle the punishment of corrugations and desert tracks.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Finally upgraded to these Dobinsons adjustable struts for our Next Gen Ranger and the difference is night and day. We regularly head out to the high country with the camper trailer and a rooftop tent, and being able to dial in the height for different loads has been a game changer. The ride quality is noticeably smoother on corrugated tracks compared to the stock setup, and the kids actually commented on it during our last trip to the Flinders. Well worth the investment for anyone doing regular weekend touring.(5)
Proper Gear for Serious Remote Touring
Been running these Dobinsons adjustable struts on my Ranger for the past 18 months, including a Cape York trip and multiple Simpson Desert crossings. The ability to fine-tune height based on load has been a game-changer when carrying extra fuel and water for extended remote runs. Ride quality is surprisingly compliant over corrugations compared to the old setup, and they've handled everything from bulldust to rocky creek crossings without missing a beat.(5)
Best upgrade I've made to the Ranger
Been running these Dobinsons struts on my Next Gen Ranger for about three months now, hauling tools and materials daily around southeast Queensland. The adjustable height is brilliant for when I'm loaded up versus empty, and the ride quality is noticeably smoother than the stock setup even on rough sites. Had them on some pretty gnarly tracks up near Glasshouse Mountains last weekend and they handled it like a dream.(5)
