Choose your spring rate based on the constant weight you carry, not just occasional loads. Front rates should account for bull bars, winches and driving lights; rear rates need to cover canopies, drawer systems, water tanks, and touring gear that stays fitted permanently. If you're unsure which rate suits your accessory load, our team can talk you through the numbers before you order.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or qualified workshop, given the front strut and steering componentry involved on the Next Gen Ranger. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitment to bring camber and caster back within factory tolerance. Allow a 500km break-in period for the nitro gas struts and raised springs to settle before a final alignment check. Many installers pair this kit with control arm upgrades to correct front geometry and CV angles at the increased ride height.
Dobinsons has designed and tested 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, with valving and spring rates developed for local vehicles and conditions rather than generic imports. Every Nitro Gas kit carries a manufacturer warranty and is backed by Dobinsons' own quality control on components like seals and oil fill. Tradespeople and long-distance tourers running the Ranger Next Gen commonly specify Dobinsons for its load-carrying focus; view the full Dobinsons range to compare kits.
This kit suits Ranger Next Gen owners fitting a canopy, tray, or touring setup who need more front and rear clearance without over-lifting the vehicle. It's a common choice for tradespeople carrying tools daily and for tourers running rooftop tents or camper trailers. If your rear load varies significantly from trip to trip, our airbag suspension options can be added to manage variable payloads.
This kit is dispatched from Australian stock with expert fitment support from our team on spring rate selection and installation questions. Browse our full lift kit range to compare other Dobinsons options for the Ranger Next Gen.

Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas Lift Kit (SKU NGLKR-SFRNG) is built specifically for the Ford Ranger Next Gen from 2022-ON, including 2.0L Bi-Turbo and 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel variants. The struts, springs and valving are vehicle-specific, not a generic universal fit. If you're unsure about your exact build date or variant, use our parts finder for the Ranger or contact our team to confirm before ordering.
This kit delivers 2" of front lift and 1" of rear lift over standard ride height. The difference is deliberate — it improves front clearance for bull bars and winches while keeping the rear closer to stock for a level stance under load. Actual ride height also depends on tyre size and accessory weight fitted.
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 x Dobinsons Nitro Gas front struts, 2 x rear shock absorbers, matched raised coil springs for the front and raised leaf springs for the rear, plus mounting hardware and fitting instructions. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if required. Full contents are listed in the Kit Includes section above.
Yes, the raised leaf springs and rear shocks in this kit are built with load-carrying in mind, which helps support tow ball weight and rear-heavy accessories like canopies. For vehicles that vary significantly between unladen and towing loads, we'd recommend discussing spring rate options or adding airbag suspension for extra adjustability. Our team can help match a rate to your typical towing setup.
At 2" of front lift, many Ranger Next Gen owners choose to fit upgraded control arms to correct CV joint angles and improve front geometry. It's not always mandatory at this lift height, but it's worth checking your CV angle after fitment and alignment. Our team can advise based on your specific tyre size and driving use.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Changing ride height alters camber and caster, and an alignment brings these back within factory tolerance for even tyre wear and predictable handling. We recommend allowing a 500km break-in period before the final alignment check.
Dobinsons offers spring rate options across their Ranger Next Gen range to suit different constant accessory loads, such as bull bars, canopies or water tanks. This specific kit ships with a standard raised spring rate; if you're carrying heavier permanent loads, contact our team to discuss whether a higher rated spring is a better match. Getting the rate right up front avoids sag once accessories are fitted.
The added 2" front and 1" rear clearance from this kit typically allows for a modest increase in tyre diameter over standard, depending on your wheel offset and guard trimming. Exact tyre clearance varies with wheel width and offset, so we recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before purchase. Fitting larger tyres may also affect gearing and speedometer calibration.
This Dobinsons Nitro Gas Lift Kit is covered by manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. As an Australian-stocked Dobinsons product, warranty claims are handled locally through our team rather than an overseas distributor. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for any warranty claim.
Yes, the valving in this kit is tuned for a balance between unladen daily comfort and loaded off-road control, not a harsh race-style setup. Many Ranger Next Gen owners run this kit as their daily driver while towing or touring on weekends. Ride comfort will settle further once the struts and springs complete their 500km break-in period.
