Choose your rear spring rate based on what stays bolted to the tray or canopy day-to-day, not your maximum GVM figure. A dual-cab tradie running a steel tray, toolboxes and a compressor needs a firmer constant-load rate than a tourer running a lightweight canopy and drawers. Common accessories that shift the required rate include bullbars and winches up front, and canopies, dual batteries, water tanks, drawer systems and slide-on campers at the rear.
This kit should be fitted by a qualified suspension installer or an experienced DIY mechanic with the correct spring compressors and torque specs for the PX1/PX2 front strut and rear leaf mounts. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting — the shift in ride height changes castor and toe. Allow a 500km break-in period for the springs to settle to their final ride height before fine-tuning damper adjustment. If you're correcting castor or extending CV joint life at this ride height, pair the kit with upgraded control arms.
Dobinsons has built 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, with components developed and tested on local roads rather than adapted from overseas market vehicles. Every MRA shock is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty and supported by our in-house fitment team if you have questions before or after you order. Tradespeople and long-distance tourers running Ranger PX utes both rely on this MRA platform for adjustable, rebuildable damping — view the full Dobinsons range for matching components.
This kit suits Ranger PX1/PX2 owners who tow regularly, carry a constant canopy or tray load, or want externally adjustable damping for mixed highway and dirt-road driving. Tradespeople with a fitted-out service body and grey-nomad tourers running a camper trailer both benefit from the 3-way tuning and remote-reservoir cooling. If your rear load is closer to constant than occasional, also look at airbag suspension to fine-tune rear height under varying loads.
This Dobinsons MRA Quick-Lift kit is dispatched from Australian stock, and our team can confirm spring rate and fitment for your exact PX1/PX2 build before you buy. Browse our full lift kit range or get in touch if you need help choosing between front and rear spring options.

Yes, this Dobinsons MRA Quick-Lift kit is built specifically for the Ford Ranger PX1 (2011-2015) and PX2 (2015-2018), covering both 2.2L and 3.2L diesel variants. It uses the factory front strut and rear leaf mounting points, so no chassis modification is needed. If you're unsure which series you have, our team can confirm fitment from your VIN or build plate before you order.
The MRA Quick-Lift design gives a quick-adjust 2" to 3" lift range on the Ranger PX1/PX2, set via the shock spring seat rather than by fitting different height springs. This lets you fine-tune ride height after fitment to suit your tyre size and accessory load. Final lift height also depends on your chosen front coil and rear leaf spring rate.
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 two front and two rear Dobinsons MRA adjustable remote-reservoir shocks (60mm front, 50mm rear bore), vehicle-specific front coil springs, rear leaf springs, mounting hardware and bump stop spacers. Fitting instructions are included. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if you need corrected front geometry.
Yes, the 3-way externally adjustable damping lets you firm up compression and rebound when towing a van or trailer, then back it off for unladen highway driving. Rear leaf springs are available in load-rated options to match your constant tow-ball and accessory load. Talk to our team about your tow setup so we can help you match the right rear spring rate.
It's not compulsory, but it's worth considering. Lifting the Ranger PX1/PX2 changes front control arm angles and can reduce CV joint articulation at full droop. Upgraded control arms correct castor and restore geometry at the new ride height, particularly if you're running the kit at the higher end of its 2"-3" range.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Changing ride height alters castor and toe settings, and running the vehicle unaligned will cause uneven tyre wear. We recommend aligning after the 500km spring break-in period once ride height has settled.
Yes, Dobinsons offers this kit with front coil and rear leaf spring options rated for different constant accessory loads, from a bare tray through to a fitted canopy with drawers and water tanks. Tell us what stays fitted to your Ranger day-to-day — bullbar, winch, canopy, dual battery setup — and our team can help match the spring rate.
The 2"-3" lift range on the Ranger PX1/PX2 typically clears a moderate tyre size increase over standard, but final clearance depends on wheel offset, width and your chosen ride height setting. We recommend confirming your specific tyre and wheel combination with our fitment team before ordering to avoid rubbing at full articulation.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. As an authorised Dobinsons stockist, we handle warranty claims directly and can talk you through the process if an issue comes up. Keep your invoice from 4WD Suspension as proof of purchase.
Yes, the 3-way adjustable damping means you can set the shocks softer for comfortable daily commuting and firm them up for weekend touring or towing without swapping components. Many Ranger PX1/PX2 owners run this kit as their everyday setup, adjusting damping as their load changes. Vehicle-specific springs also help keep the factory-like ride quality on sealed roads.
