The Dobinsons Nitro Gas Front Lift Kit suits the Ford Ranger Next Gen (2022-Current) across both 2.0L Twin-Turbo Diesel and 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel variants, delivering a 2" front lift with pre-assembled twin-tube struts and raised coil springs. Larger 60mm and 51mm shock bodies with 35mm and 32mm bores hold more oil than a standard shock for cooler running under sustained load, while single-piece drop-forged lower mounts add strength over many aftermarket shock absorbers. Steel dust covers and natural rubber bushings protect the seals and reduce noise on corrugated tracks. Backed by manufacturer warranty and dispatched from Australian stock with fitment support from our team.

Choose your spring rate based on constant accessory load only — the gear that stays fitted to your Ranger permanently. Front constant loads typically include a bull bar, winch, driving lights and steel bash plates. Rear constant loads include drawer systems, dual battery trays, canopies and long-range fuel tanks — occasional loads like passengers or camping gear should not drive spring rate selection, as an overly stiff spring will harshen the ride and reduce off-road articulation.
Professional installation by a qualified suspension fitter is recommended to ensure correct torque specifications and safety compliance. The pre-assembled strut design reduces labour time compared with building components separately, but a wheel alignment is still mandatory after fitting to prevent uneven tyre wear. Allow a 500km break-in period for the raised coil springs to settle before taking a final ride height measurement. On vehicles carrying significant front-end weight, pairing this kit with upgraded control arms helps maintain correct caster angle and suspension geometry at the new ride height.
Dobinsons Spring & Suspension has been manufacturing suspension components for over 60 years, with in-house dyno validation and durability cycle testing on every design. The Nitro Gas front strut assembly uses TS16949-aligned manufacturing processes including CNC machining and drop-forged lower stems for consistent build quality. You can view the full Dobinsons suspension range for matching rear components and complementary parts.
This front lift kit suits Ranger Next Gen owners running a bull bar and winch, tourers wanting extra clearance for corrugated tracks, and tradies who carry constant front-end accessory weight. If you tow a caravan or carry a heavy canopy at the rear, pairing this front kit with airbag suspension at the rear helps keep the vehicle level under load.

Yes, this kit is built for the Ford Ranger Next Gen from 2022-Current, covering both the 2.0L Twin-Turbo Diesel and 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel engine variants. If your Ranger falls outside this range or you're unsure of your model, our team can confirm fitment before you order using your VIN or build plate details.
This kit delivers a 2" front lift using raised coil springs and pre-assembled nitro gas struts. Final ride height can vary slightly depending on accessory weight already fitted to your Ranger, so we recommend measuring after the 500km break-in period. Pairing with a matched rear kit keeps front and rear stance level.
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 pre-assembled Dobinsons Nitro Gas front strut assemblies with twin-tube shocks, two raised front coil springs, top mounts pre-fitted to the strut, steel dust covers and mounting hardware. Rear springs, shocks, control arms and steering dampers are sold separately. Full contents are listed in the kit contents section above.
This is a front lift kit, so it primarily supports load carried at the front of the vehicle such as a bull bar and winch rather than towball weight. For towing setups where the rear sags under a caravan or trailer, we recommend adding airbag suspension or a rear kit matched to your towing load. Contact our team for a combined front and rear recommendation based on your tow weight.
Control arms are not included with this kit and are not mandatory at a 2" front lift for most Ranger Next Gen setups. On vehicles running larger tyres or an aggressive front-end load, upgraded control arms help maintain correct caster angle and reduce CV joint angle stress. Our team can advise whether your specific setup benefits from a control arm upgrade.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Changing front ride height alters caster, camber and toe settings, and skipping alignment can cause uneven tyre wear and affect handling. We recommend booking the alignment after the 500km spring break-in period for the most accurate result.
Dobinsons offers coil springs in different rates to suit constant front accessory load such as a bull bar and winch combination. Base your spring rate on gear that stays fitted permanently, not occasional loads like passengers. Speak with our team about your accessory list and we'll confirm the right spring rate for your Ranger.
A 2" front lift typically creates clearance for a modest tyre size increase over standard, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset, tyre width and whether flares are fitted. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering to check clearance against guards and control arms.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty claims are handled through our Australian team, and we can talk you through the process if an issue arises. Correct installation and alignment are required to keep the warranty valid.
Yes, the vehicle-specific valving in this kit is tuned for the Ranger Next Gen's factory weight distribution, balancing daily on-road comfort with the ability to carry a bull bar and winch. Many owners run this kit as their daily driver while still getting the extra clearance and load support needed for weekend touring.
