Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality, handling, and component longevity. When ordering, you'll choose front and rear spring rates based on your constant accessory load — the weight permanently installed on your vehicle, not occasional loads like passengers, camping gear, or towing.
Common front constant loads include: bull bars, winches, driving lights, upgraded bumpers, air compressors, and dual battery systems. Common rear constant loads include: canopies, tool boxes, drawers, dual spare wheel carriers, rear bars, water tanks, and permanently mounted roof racks or roof-top tents. Occasional loads such as camping equipment, firewood, recovery gear, passengers, or towing a caravan should NOT be factored into spring rate selection. Selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual constant load will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and may cause premature wear to other suspension components. If you're unsure about your constant load weight, our team can help you calculate it accurately.
This lift kit requires professional installation or experienced DIY fitting with appropriate tools, workshop facilities, and mechanical knowledge. A full wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering geometry, prevent premature tyre wear, and maintain safe handling characteristics. All shock absorbers require a 500km break-in period during which the damping characteristics will settle and optimize — avoid harsh off-road driving and extreme loads during this initial period.
For Rangers lifted 50mm or more, we strongly recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct castor angle, restore factory steering feel, and maximize suspension articulation. Extended brake lines may also be required depending on your specific vehicle configuration and existing modifications. Our technical team can advise on complementary components during your order.
Dobinsons has built a legendary reputation over decades as one of Australia's most trusted suspension manufacturers, with products engineered specifically for our unique conditions and proven in the harshest outback environments. Every Dobinsons component undergoes extensive real-world testing across desert, coastal, and alpine terrain to ensure it meets the extreme demands of Australian tourers, tradespeople, and off-road enthusiasts. Backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and supported by a nationwide network of specialist retailers and installers, the Dobinsons suspension range represents the pinnacle of Australian 4WD engineering excellence.
This MRA Adjustable Lift Kit is ideal for serious 4WD enthusiasts who demand the ultimate in suspension performance and adjustability — including long-distance tourers tackling the Simpson Desert or Canning Stock Route, tradespeople carrying heavy constant loads, and weekend warriors who want one vehicle that excels both on corrugated dirt and sealed highways. Caravan towers and those regularly carrying heavy rear loads will particularly appreciate the ability to fine-tune damping for different load conditions, though for extreme rear loads you may also want to explore our airbag suspension options for additional load support and leveling capability.

This kit is specifically engineered for Ford Ranger PX1 (2011-2015) and PX2 (2015-2018) models across all cab configurations including single cab, super cab, and dual cab, as well as both 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrain options. The kit is compatible with both petrol and diesel engine variants. If you've made previous modifications to your suspension or steering components, or if you're unsure about your exact model year and series, please contact our team to confirm fitment before ordering. We can verify compatibility based on your VIN or specific vehicle details to ensure perfect fitment.
This Dobinsons MRA kit provides approximately 50mm (2-3 inches) of lift over standard ride height when correctly installed with appropriate spring rates for your vehicle's load. With this lift height, most Ranger PX1/PX2 owners can comfortably fit tyres up to 285/70R17 or 265/70R17 with minimal to no trimming, though exact fitment depends on wheel offset, tyre brand, and driving conditions. For larger tyre sizes or maximum clearance, additional modifications such as guard trimming or aftermarket fenders may be required. Final ride height will vary slightly based on your selected spring rates and constant accessory load.
This complete kit includes 2x Dobinsons MRA adjustable front shock absorbers with remote reservoirs, 2x heavy-duty front coil springs, 2x MRA adjustable rear shock absorbers with remote reservoirs, 2x raised rear leaf springs, 4x U-bolts for leaf spring installation, 1x polyurethane bush kit, and all necessary mounting hardware. You'll select your specific front and rear spring rates during checkout based on your constant accessory load. Additional components that may be required but are NOT included are upper control arms, extended brake lines, differential drop kits, wheel alignment, and professional installation labor — our team can advise on these based on your specific vehicle configuration.
Absolutely — the Dobinsons MRA Adjustable system is exceptionally well-suited to towing applications thanks to its 3-way damping adjustment that allows you to increase compression damping when loaded or towing, dramatically reducing rear squat and maintaining stable, controlled handling. The remote reservoir design ensures consistent performance even during extended highway towing where heat buildup can cause standard shocks to fade. When selecting your rear spring rate, remember to specify only your constant rear load (canopy, drawers, etc.) — NOT the towing load, as occasional towing weight should not influence spring selection. For extreme towing applications or those who want additional load support and leveling, consider adding airbag suspension to work alongside this lift kit.
While not absolutely mandatory, we strongly recommend upgrading to extended or adjustable upper control arms when installing a 50mm lift on your Ranger PX1/PX2. Lifting the vehicle without correcting the control arm geometry can result in reduced castor angle, which negatively affects steering feel, highway stability, and steering wheel return. Quality aftermarket control arms restore proper suspension geometry, improve steering response, and often provide additional articulation for off-road use. Our team can recommend compatible control arm options during your order that will maximize the performance and handling of your lifted Ranger.
Yes, a full 4-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, including this Dobinsons MRA system. Lifting your vehicle changes suspension geometry and alters toe, camber, and castor angles beyond factory specifications. Without proper alignment, you'll experience premature and uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics, wandering steering, and potentially unsafe driving dynamics. The alignment should be performed by a qualified workshop familiar with lifted 4WDs, and you should request a printout of before and after alignment specifications. Most professional installers include alignment as part of their installation package pricing.
Spring rate selection is based exclusively on your constant accessory load — the weight permanently installed on your vehicle, not occasional loads. For the front, calculate the weight of bull bars, winches, upgraded bumpers, driving lights, dual battery systems, and air compressors. For the rear, include canopies, drawer systems, tool boxes, dual spare carriers, rear bars, and permanently mounted water tanks or roof-top tents. Do NOT include camping gear, firewood, passengers, or towing weight as these are occasional loads. If you're between spring rates or unsure of exact weights, it's generally better to select the lighter option to maintain ride comfort — springs that are too heavy will result in a harsh ride and potential component damage.
With the Dobinsons MRA 50mm lift kit correctly installed, most Ford Ranger PX1/PX2 owners can fit tyres up to 285/70R17 (approximately 32.7 inches diameter) or 265/70R17 with minimal to no modifications, depending on wheel offset and tyre brand. Some combinations may require minor guard trimming or the removal of plastic liner sections, particularly at full steering lock or during heavy compression off-road. For 33-inch tyres or larger, additional modifications such as guard trimming, aftermarket fenders, or diff drop kits may be necessary. Wheel offset also plays a critical role — we recommend consulting with a wheel and tyre specialist to ensure your desired combination will fit without rubbing.
This Dobinsons MRA Adjustable lift kit is covered by Dobinsons' comprehensive manufacturer warranty, which protects against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and proper installation. Warranty coverage applies when the kit is professionally installed according to Dobinsons specifications, used within its designed load capacity, and maintained according to recommended service intervals. Warranty specifics including duration and coverage terms are provided with your kit documentation and vary by component type. For full warranty details, terms, and conditions, please contact our team or refer to the documentation included with your kit — we're here to support you throughout the ownership of your Dobinsons suspension.
One of the major advantages of the Dobinsons MRA Adjustable system is its exceptional versatility for both daily driving and serious off-road use. The 3-way damping adjustment allows you to soften compression damping for comfortable highway cruising and urban commuting, delivering a remarkably refined ride quality that rivals or exceeds factory suspension comfort. When heading off-road or carrying heavy loads, simply adjust the compression and rebound damping to firm up the suspension for improved control and reduced body movement. This adjustability means you don't have to compromise — your Ranger can be a comfortable daily driver during the week and a capable tourer or off-road adventurer on the weekend, all with simple adjustments that take just minutes.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
Finally pulled the trigger on the Dobinsons MRA adjustable lift kit for our PX2 Ranger and couldn't be happier with the decision. We've done three trips out to the High Country since the install, and the difference in ride quality with a loaded camper trailer is night and day compared to the stock setup. The 3-way damping adjustment means I can fine-tune it whether we're running empty to the shops or fully loaded with the kids' gear and water tanks. Fitment was spot-on and the remote reservoir shocks are handling the corrugations beautifully.(5)
