Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality, load capacity, and suspension performance. You must select spring rates based on your constant accessory load only — this means the weight you carry every day, not occasional loads. Common front accessories include bull bars, winches, aftermarket bumpers, long-range fuel tanks, and heavy-duty batteries. Rear constant loads include dual battery systems, drawer systems, sub-tanks, canopies, roof racks, and permanently installed camping gear. Occasional loads such as passengers, camping equipment, tools, or towing should NOT be considered when selecting your spring rate, as overspringing will result in harsh ride quality and potential damage to other suspension components. If you frequently tow or carry variable loads, consider adding airbag suspension to supplement your springs rather than selecting a heavier constant rate.
High-Speed Compression: Controls damping force during rapid shaft movements such as hitting sudden bumps, rocks, or corrugations at speed, or when the vehicle lands after cresting a rise. Increasing high-speed compression reduces harshness and bottoming over severe impacts.
Low-Speed Compression: Affects damping during slower suspension movements including body roll, pitch during braking and acceleration, dive under braking, and maintaining wheel contact over gentle undulations. This adjustment is crucial for balancing ride comfort with vehicle control and load-carrying stability.
Rebound Damping: Controls the speed at which your suspension extends after compression. Proper rebound tuning maintains tyre contact with the ground, prevents excessive bounce, manages body roll, and ensures composed handling on and off-road. Too little rebound creates a bouncy, uncontrolled ride; too much creates a harsh, packed-down feeling.
The beauty of the Dobinsons MRA system is that all three adjustments can be made quickly via external adjusters without disassembly, allowing you to dial in perfect damping for your specific load, terrain, and driving style in minutes.
This kit requires professional installation or experienced DIY mechanical skills with appropriate tools and safety equipment. Installation time is approximately 4-6 hours with proper equipment. A wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering geometry, even tyre wear, and optimal handling characteristics. We strongly recommend a 500km break-in period where you avoid extreme off-road use and allow springs to settle to their final height. During this period, check all fasteners for proper torque and inspect shock absorber mounting points. For vehicles with significant lift or modified suspension geometry, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore caster angle, improve steering feel, and maintain factory ride quality.

This MRA Quick-Lift kit is ideal for serious touring enthusiasts who demand the ultimate in suspension adjustability and performance, tradespeople who need reliable load-carrying capability with comfort for daily driving, and dedicated off-road adventurers who tackle everything from highway miles to remote track work. If you're running a heavily accessorised Ranger with bull bar, winch, canopy, and drawer systems, or if you regularly tow caravans, camper trailers, or work trailers, this kit provides the foundation for safe, controlled, and comfortable operation. For those who carry highly variable loads, consider supplementing this kit with airbag suspension for on-demand load support without compromising unloaded ride quality.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for the Ford Ranger Next Gen (PX4) from 2022 onwards, including both 2.0L Bi-Turbo and 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel engine variants. It suits all cab configurations including single cab, super cab, and dual cab models. The kit has been designed to accommodate the unique suspension geometry and chassis specifications of the Next Gen platform. If you have specific questions about your particular build date, cab type, or aftermarket modifications, our team can confirm exact fitment before you order.
This Dobinsons MRA Quick-Lift kit provides approximately 25-40mm (1-1.5 inches) of lift at the front via the pre-assembled strut and coil spring assemblies, and approximately 25mm (1 inch) at the rear via the extended HD shackles. Final lift height varies depending on the spring rate you select and your vehicle's constant accessory load — heavier front-end accessories like bull bars and winches will compress springs more than a stock vehicle. The adjustable height design allows fine-tuning of ride height and load-carrying capability. Most customers achieve a level stance or slight rake suitable for towing with proper spring selection.
This kit includes everything needed for front and rear suspension upgrade: 2 x Dobinsons MRA 3-way adjustable front struts pre-assembled with matched coil springs, 2 x Dobinsons MRA 3-way adjustable rear shock absorbers with remote reservoirs, 2 x extended greasable heavy-duty rear shackles (1 inch), and all necessary mounting hardware and bushings. The front struts arrive fully assembled to save installation time and ensure proper spring seating. Please note that upper control arms, extended brake lines, diff drop components, and alignment services are not included and may be required depending on your specific vehicle setup and lift height achieved.
Absolutely — this Dobinsons MRA kit is an excellent choice for regular towing applications thanks to its 3-way adjustable damping system and load-matched spring options. The low-speed compression adjustment allows you to increase damping support when loaded or towing, reducing sag, pitch, and sway while maintaining comfort when unloaded. Select your spring rates based on constant accessory weight only (not towing weight), then adjust damping for towing conditions. For vehicles that tow very heavy loads or experience significant weight variation, we recommend supplementing this kit with airbag suspension for on-demand load support and optimal ride height control under all conditions.
Upper control arms are not always mandatory with this moderate lift kit, but they are highly recommended for optimal results. The Next Gen Ranger benefits from upgraded control arms to restore correct caster and camber angles, improve steering feel and returnability, reduce tyre wear, and maximize suspension travel. If you're installing a bull bar, frequently drive off-road, or want the best possible handling and alignment characteristics, budget for quality aftermarket control arms. Our suspension specialists can assess your specific vehicle setup and usage to recommend whether control arms should be included in your upgrade for your particular application.
Yes, a professional 4-post wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, including this Dobinsons MRA system. Lifting your vehicle alters suspension geometry, affecting caster, camber, and toe angles which directly impact steering feel, tyre wear, handling stability, and safety. A qualified alignment technician with 4WD experience should perform a full alignment to manufacturer specifications adjusted for lift height. This should be done immediately after installation, then rechecked after the 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled. Skipping alignment will result in premature tyre wear, poor handling, and potentially unsafe driving characteristics.
Spring rate selection is based solely on your constant accessory load — weight you carry every single day, not occasional loads or towing. For the front, measure constant weight from bull bars, winches, upgraded bumpers, long-range tanks, and heavy batteries. For the rear, include drawer systems, canopies, dual batteries, sub-tanks, and permanently installed equipment. Do NOT factor in passengers, camping gear, tools, or towing weight when selecting spring rates. Overspringing causes harsh ride quality and potential component damage. If unsure, choose the lighter option and supplement with airbags for variable loads. Our team can help calculate your constant load and recommend appropriate spring rates during ordering.
This lift kit provides clearance for moderately larger tyres on your Ford Ranger Next Gen, typically allowing 32-33 inch diameter tyres with standard offset wheels, depending on tyre width and wheel offset. Actual clearance depends on your specific wheel and tyre combination, suspension articulation, and whether you trim or modify guards. For aggressive tyre sizes, additional modifications such as guard trimming, wheel offset changes, or diff drop kits may be required. We recommend test-fitting tyres at full lock and full articulation before final installation. Remember that larger tyres affect gearing, fuel economy, speedo accuracy, and braking performance — choose sizes appropriate for your driving needs.
This Dobinsons MRA Quick-Lift kit is covered by Dobinsons' comprehensive manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms vary by component and are subject to proper installation, correct spring rate selection, appropriate vehicle usage, and regular maintenance including periodic adjustment checks and seal inspections. The warranty covers manufacturing defects but does not cover damage from incorrect installation, overloading beyond rated capacity, competition use, or lack of maintenance. All warranty claims are assessed by Dobinsons Australia and must be accompanied by proof of purchase and installation details. For complete warranty terms and conditions, contact our team or visit the Dobinsons website.
Yes, this Dobinsons MRA kit excels as a daily driver suspension system thanks to its advanced 3-way adjustable damping that allows you to balance comfort and control for any driving condition. Set damping softer for highway cruising and urban commuting to enjoy a compliant, comfortable ride, then firm up compression and rebound for spirited driving, heavy loads, or off-road work. The monotube remote reservoir design maintains consistent performance during extended highway driving without fade. Many Ranger owners report improved ride quality over factory suspension, especially when carrying typical accessory loads. The adjustability means you're never compromising — you can have both touring comfort and off-road capability in one proven package.

Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Ranger
Fitted the Dobinsons quick-lift kit to our 2023 Ranger last month and it's been brilliant for our monthly camping trips down the coast. The adjustable height feature means we can level out the rear when the camper trailer's hooked up, and the ride quality is noticeably better than stock, even when loaded up with the kids' gear. Installation was straightforward and the quality of the components is top-notch.(5)
Perfect for Daily Work and Weekend Adventures
Been running this Dobinsons lift kit on my Ranger for about three months now, using it daily for work and the odd weekend trip down to the high country. The adjustable height is brilliant - keeps it level when I'm loaded up with tools and materials during the week, and the ride quality is actually better than stock. Installation was straightforward enough and the quality of the components is top-notch, definitely worth the money for a proper Australian-made setup.(5)
Perfect for Our Family Camping Adventures
We've done three trips up the coast since fitting this adjustable height lift kit to our Next Gen Ranger, and the difference is night and day. The ride quality on corrugated roads is so much better than stock, and the kids don't complain about being bounced around anymore. Really impressed with how straightforward the height adjustment is when we're loaded up with camping gear versus running around town during the week.(5)
