The Dobinsons Monotube IFP Adjustable Front Struts suit the Next Gen Ford Ranger (2022-ON), using an Internal Floating Piston monotube design with a coilover spring seat for on-the-fly ride height adjustment from 0" to 2" lift. The IFP separates oil and nitrogen gas for consistent damping under load, while the threaded collar lets you match front height to bull bar and winch weight. Pair with our upgraded control arms for correct geometry at height. In stock in Australia now, backed by Dobinsons' warranty and fitment support.

These front struts are height-adjustable via the coilover collar, so front spring rate is fixed to the strut itself — your main decision is matching the rear spring or leaf pack to your constant accessory load. Common front-end additions like a bull bar, winch and driving lights add weight the strut needs to hold at your chosen height, while rear accessories like a canopy, dual battery tray, water tank or caravan tow ball weight affect your rear spring choice from our coil springs or leaf springs range. Talk to our team about your accessory list before ordering rear springs to run alongside these struts.
Fitment requires strut removal and replacement at the front hub and upper mount, a job suited to an experienced DIY fitter with proper spring compressors or a 4WD workshop. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation because ride height and castor angle change once the struts are set. Allow a 500km break-in period for the IFP monotube shocks to settle before final alignment adjustment if you're fine-tuning height. For lifted applications we recommend pairing these struts with control arm upgrades to correct CV joint and steering geometry at height.
Dobinsons has built 4WD suspension components in-house for decades, with monotube IFP technology developed specifically for Australian conditions rather than adapted from road-car parts. Each strut is backed by a manufacturer warranty and dispatched from local Australian stock, with our team available to confirm fitment before you order. Tradespeople and long-distance tourers both run Dobinsons setups where consistent damping and height adjustment matter more than a one-size-fits-all shock — view the full Dobinsons range for matching rear components.
This strut suits Next Gen Ranger owners running a bull bar, winch or driving lights who need adjustable front height rather than a fixed lift. It's also a fit for tourers wanting monotube heat management on long corrugated stretches, and for tray-back tradies who want predictable steering under a loaded front end. If you're carrying variable rear loads day to day, also look at our airbag suspension options to complement these front struts.

Yes, these struts are built specifically for the Next Gen Ford Ranger (2022-ON), covering both the 2.0L Bi-Turbo and 3.0L V6 variants. They are not a carryover part from the previous PX Ranger platform. If you're unsure of your exact build date or variant, our team can confirm fitment before you order. You can also check compatible parts using our Ford Ranger parts finder.
The coilover spring seat gives an adjustable front lift range from 0" to 2", set by winding the collar up or down on the strut body. This lets you dial in the exact front height you need rather than being locked to a single fixed lift. Final height also depends on the vehicle's front-end load, such as a bull bar or winch. We recommend setting height, driving the 500km break-in, then having an alignment done.
This kit includes 2 x Dobinsons Monotube IFP Adjustable Front Struts, each assembled with a coil spring and adjustable coilover collar. Mounting hardware and fitment instructions are included. Rear shocks, rear springs and upper control arms are sold separately, so check our rear suspension ranges if you're doing a full front-and-rear upgrade.
These are front struts, so towing capacity is mainly influenced by your rear spring selection rather than the front strut itself. The monotube IFP damping does help keep the front end composed under the added nose weight of a bull bar or winch when towing. For full towing support we recommend pairing these struts with a rear coil or leaf spring rated to your constant load. Talk to our team about matching rear spring rates to your tow ball weight.
Control arm upgrades aren't mandatory at 0" to 1" of adjustment but become worthwhile once you set height closer to 2". At greater lift heights, factory control arms can push CV joints and ball joints toward the edge of their working angle. Upgraded control arms correct this geometry and reduce wear on steering and suspension components. Our team can advise based on the exact height you plan to run.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting these struts because ride height and castor angle change once the coilover collar is adjusted. Skipping alignment leads to uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel on the Next Gen Ranger's IFS front end. We recommend setting your chosen height first, then booking alignment once the struts are torqued to spec. A second alignment check after the 500km break-in period is also good practice.
The front strut spring rate is fixed to the assembly, with height adjustment handled by the coilover collar rather than a spring rate change. Your spring rate decision really applies to the rear, where you can choose a coil or leaf spring rated to your constant accessory and touring load. Our team can help you match a rear spring rate to run alongside these front struts.
A 2" front lift on the Next Gen Ranger typically creates clearance for a modest increase in tyre diameter over standard, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset and rear ride height too. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering, since rubbing points can vary with wheel width and offset. Pairing this front lift with a matched rear spring keeps stance even front to rear.
These struts are covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, backed by our Australian-based support if you have a fitment or product question after purchase. We dispatch from local Australian stock, so warranty claims and support don't involve overseas shipping delays. Contact our team directly if you need warranty documentation or fitment advice.
Yes, the monotube IFP design is tuned to keep steering response predictable at road speeds, not just under off-road load. Many Next Gen Ranger owners run these struts as their daily setup while still getting the damping benefit on weekend touring trips. Setting a lower height within the 0" to 2" range suits owners who want a subtle stance change with minimal driving position impact. An alignment after fitting keeps daily-driving tyre wear even.
