The Dobinsons MRA Adjustable 2" Front Struts suit the Next Gen Ford Ranger (2022-ON) and use monotube remote-reservoir shock technology with 3-way external damping adjustment, letting you tune ride quality with the supplied spanners rather than pulling the struts apart. This front-only lift kit raises the front 2" and pairs matched coil springs with new strut top mounts for a direct bolt-in fit. It suits Ranger owners running a bullbar and winch who need extra front-end support without sacrificing on-road comfort. Dispatched from Australian stock, backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Front spring rate on a strut kit should match what sits ahead of the firewall — a steel bullbar, winch, driving lights and a bigger bash plate all add constant front-end weight. Talk to our team about your bullbar and winch weight before ordering so the matched coil springs sit at the correct 2" ride height rather than sagging under the extra load. Common front accessories affecting selection include steel bullbars, electric winches, dual battery trays mounted forward, and auxiliary lighting bars.
Fitting these MRA struts is a bolt-in job for an experienced DIY installer with strut compressor tools, though we recommend a qualified workshop given the coil-over strut assembly. Wheel alignment is mandatory once the struts are fitted, as camber and caster shift with the 2" front lift. Allow a 500km bed-in period before fine-tuning the 3-way damping to your preferred setting. If your Ranger runs larger front tyres or a heavier bullbar, pair this kit with upgraded control arms to correct suspension geometry at the new ride height.
Dobinsons has built 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, and the MRA range is developed and tested locally against Australian roads and load conditions. Every kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and dispatched with genuine fitment guidance from our team. Tourers and tradespeople running heavier front-end accessories consistently choose Dobinsons for their full suspension range.
This front strut kit suits Ranger owners who have added a bullbar and winch and need the front end lifted and supported to match, plus tourers wanting adjustable damping for corrugations versus blacktop. Tradespeople carrying a canopy and tools up front will also benefit from the firmer damping setting. If you're adding rear payload for camping or towing gear, also look at our airbag suspension options to level the rear.

This kit is built for the Next Gen Ford Ranger (2022-ON), including 2.0L Bi-Turbo, 3.0L V6 and 2.3L Turbo Petrol variants. It is not designed for earlier PX-series Rangers or the Ranger Raptor, which use different front-end geometry. Check your build date and variant against our fitment table above before ordering. If you're unsure, our team can confirm fitment from your rego or VIN.
This kit provides a 2" front lift on the Next Gen Ford Ranger using matched coil springs fitted to the MRA struts. It is a front-only kit, so rear ride height is unchanged unless you fit a matching rear kit. Actual measured lift can vary slightly with vehicle load and accessory weight already on the front end.
You get 2 x Dobinsons MRA Adjustable monotube remote-reservoir front struts with matched 2" coil springs, 2 x strut top mounts, and the MRA adjusting spanners for the 3-way damping control. Front strut mounting hardware and fitting instructions are included. Rear shocks, rear springs and upper control arms are sold separately.
Yes, the 3-way adjustable damping lets you firm up the front end when towing a loaded trailer or caravan and back it off for unloaded daily driving. Keep in mind this is a front kit only, so rear support for tow ball weight should be handled with a rear leaf or coil upgrade, or an airbag suspension kit. Talk to our team about your typical tow weight before selecting your damping setting.
At a 2" front lift, factory upper control arms on the Next Gen Ranger can run into reduced up-travel and less-than-ideal camber and caster angles. We recommend pairing this strut kit with upgraded control arms to correct geometry and maintain full suspension travel. It's not mandatory at 2", but it is the better long-term setup, especially if you're running larger tyres.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing these struts. The 2" front lift changes camber and caster, and running the vehicle without a fresh alignment will cause uneven tyre wear. We recommend booking an alignment immediately after fitment and again after the 500km bed-in period.
The coil springs supplied with this kit are matched to typical Next Gen Ranger front-end loads, including common bullbars and winches. If you're running a particularly heavy winch bar or dual battery setup up front, contact our team before ordering so we can confirm the correct spring match for your accessory weight. Getting this right keeps your 2" ride height accurate rather than sagging under load.
A 2" front lift from this kit typically gives enough clearance for a modest increase in tyre diameter, though exact clearance depends on your wheel offset and rim width. We suggest confirming your intended tyre size with our team so we can advise on any trimming or additional clearance needed. Pairing the lift with correct wheel alignment also helps avoid rubbing at full steering lock.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, which applies to the MRA struts and matched coil springs against manufacturing defects. Warranty claims are handled through 4WD Suspension as your Australian supplier, with our team assisting on your behalf. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for any warranty claim.
Yes, the 3-way external damping adjustment lets you set a softer setting for daily commuting and firm it up for weekend touring or towing. Many Next Gen Ranger owners run this front strut kit as their everyday setup, adjusting damping as load changes. The monotube remote-reservoir design also resists heat fade on longer daily drives compared to a basic twin-tube shock.
