The Dobinsons MRA Adjustable Lift Kit suits the Ford Ranger PX1 and PX2 (2011-2018) and delivers a 2" lift front and rear using monotube remote-reservoir shocks with a 3-way external adjuster for compression and rebound damping. Front coil springs and rear leaf springs are available in load-specific rates, so the kit can be matched to a bullbar, canopy or tray setup rather than a one-size-fits-all spring. Pair it with upgraded control arms for corrected geometry at ride height, and check exact fitment using our Ranger PX1/PX2 parts finder. In stock in Australia with manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Choose your front and rear spring rate based on what stays fitted to the vehicle day to day, not just occasional trip loads. Front rate selection should account for a bullbar, winch and driving lights, while rear rate should factor in a canopy, tray, dual battery tray, water tank, drawer system or caravan tow ball weight. Our team can help match a rate to your accessory list before you order.
Fitment is a suspension job best handled by an experienced 4WD workshop or a confident DIY mechanic with the correct spring compressors and torque specs on hand. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to bring camber, caster and toe back within factory tolerance at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the springs and shocks to settle before fine-tuning damper settings. Many PX1/PX2 owners pair this kit with upgraded control arms to correct front-end geometry and CV angles once lifted.
Dobinsons is an Australian-designed suspension brand that engineers its MRA shock range for local conditions rather than adapting a global part number. The kit is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty and supplied with fitment guidance from our in-house team. You can view the full Dobinsons suspension range to compare shock and spring options across other 4WD platforms.
This kit suits PX1/PX2 owners who tow regularly, run a canopy and tools for work, or carry touring gear for extended trips. If your rear load is constant rather than occasional — a permanent canopy, tray or caravan — it's worth also comparing airbag suspension as a complementary load-levelling option alongside the leaf spring upgrade.
This Dobinsons MRA kit is in stock in Australia and ships from local stock with fitment support from our suspension team. Browse our full lift kit range to compare other options for your Ranger.

Yes, this Dobinsons MRA kit is built specifically for the Ford Ranger PX1 (2011-2015) and PX2 (2015-2018) with 2.2L and 3.2L Duratorq engines. It is not a universal kit — the coil and leaf springs are rated for this chassis and wheelbase. If you're unsure which series you have, check your compliance plate or use our Ranger PX1/PX2 parts finder before ordering. Our team can confirm fitment against your VIN if needed.
This kit provides a 2" lift front and rear over standard PX1/PX2 ride height. The lift comes from taller front coil springs and rear leaf springs, not from spacers. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on accessory load and spring rate selected. Our team can advise expected height for your specific accessory setup.
Please note that all assembled struts are dispatched at a height based on our experience and the manufacturer’s specifications for the advertised lift. Coil springs and leaf springs are also manufactured according to the advertised height and constant-load rating. Actual vehicle height may vary depending on the vehicle and the weight of fitted accessories. Further adjustment may therefore be required after installation. The installer may use coil spacers or adjust the struts at their discretion to achieve the desired height. We are not responsible for vehicle-specific height variations or any additional adjustments required after installation.
The kit includes 2 front and 2 rear Dobinsons MRA adjustable shock absorbers, 2 front coil springs, 2 rear leaf springs, U-bolt kits and mounting bushes for both axles. Fitting instructions are included with the kit. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if required. See the Kit Includes list above for the full itemised contents.
Yes, the rear leaf spring is available in different load-specific rates so it can be matched to your tow ball weight and canopy load. Selecting a heavier-rated rear leaf increases payload margin over standard PX1/PX2 springs. The 3-way adjustable shocks also let you firm up rebound and compression damping when towing or carrying a loaded canopy. Tell us your typical tow ball weight and accessory load so we can recommend the right rate.
A 2" lift can push front CV joint and control arm angles outside factory range, so upgraded control arms are recommended rather than compulsory. Correct geometry at ride height reduces uneven bush wear and improves alignment accuracy. Our control arm range is designed to suit lifted PX1/PX2 Rangers. Ask our team whether your specific use case needs them at time of fitment.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Ride height changes camber, caster and toe, and factory settings will be out of specification at 2" of lift. Book an alignment immediately after fitment and again after the 500km bedding-in period. Skipping alignment will cause uneven tyre wear.
Yes, front coil springs and rear leaf springs are available in different load-specific rates for this kit. Rate selection should be based on what is permanently fitted to the vehicle — bullbar and winch up front, canopy, tray or water tank at the rear. Contact our team with your accessory list and we'll recommend the closest matching rate before you order.
A 2" lift on the PX1/PX2 typically clears a modest increase in tyre diameter over standard, but exact clearance depends on wheel offset, width and whether flares are fitted. We recommend confirming your specific tyre and wheel combination with our team before purchasing to avoid rubbing on full articulation. This kit does not include guaranteed clearance for oversized tyres without additional trimming in some cases.
This kit is covered by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty claims are handled through 4WD Suspension as your Australian supplier. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for warranty reference. Contact our team if you have any concerns after installation.
Yes, the 3-way external adjuster allows you to set softer damping for daily unladen driving and firm it up for towing or off-road work. Many PX1/PX2 owners run this kit as their everyday setup rather than a dedicated off-road-only configuration. Ride comfort will depend on the spring rate selected, so choose a rate matched to your typical daily load rather than your heaviest occasional load. Ask our team for a daily-driver-biased rate recommendation if comfort is your priority.
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)
