The Dobinsons Nitro Gas Quick Lift Kit for Ford Ranger PX1 and PX2 (2011-2018) pairs pre-assembled front struts with matched twin-tube Nitro Gas rear shocks for a 2" lift, cutting fitting time because the front units arrive spring-and-shock assembled. Larger-bore shocks, premium Fuchs oil and Japanese NOK seals are built into every unit, and extended rear shackles come standard in the kit. This complete lift kit is designed and warranted by Dobinsons, an Australian-established suspension manufacturer. In stock now with fast dispatch and fitment support from our team.

Choosing the right spring rate depends on what stays bolted to the vehicle day to day, not just what you carry occasionally. A ute running a steel bull bar, winch, and heavy canopy needs a firmer front spring rate than one running lighter accessories, and the same logic applies to the rear when a tray, drawers, or a long-range fuel tank are fitted permanently. Talk to our team about your accessory list before ordering if you want the rear matched to a specific payload — this kit's rear Nitro Gas shocks are matched to a standard PX leaf pack, so heavier constant loads may suit a different Dobinsons rear spring option.
Because the front struts are pre-assembled, this kit is suited to an experienced DIY fitter with basic hand tools or a 4WD workshop, and typically installs faster than a kit requiring separate spring compression. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting — ride height changes toe and camber settings and affects tyre wear if left unchecked. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the new springs and shocks to settle before fine-tuning tyre pressures or accessory loads. If you're lifting the front, pairing this kit with upgraded control arms corrects control arm angle and CV joint operating range at the new ride height.
Dobinsons has been manufacturing 4WD suspension components since the 1970s and builds its Nitro Gas shocks with Fuchs oil and NOK seals as standard, not an upsell option. Kits are covered by a manufacturer warranty and are commonly fitted by tradespeople and touring drivers running Ranger PX1 and PX2 utes across Australia. Browse the Dobinsons suspension range to compare this quick lift kit against other Nitro Gas and IMS options for the same vehicle.
This kit suits Ranger PX1 and PX2 owners who want a straightforward 2" lift without a lengthy front-end rebuild — tradespeople running a bull bar and canopy, and tourers adding rooftop tents or drawer systems, are the main buyers. If your rear load varies a lot trip to trip — camper trailer one weekend, empty tray the next — it's worth comparing this kit against airbag suspension for adjustable load support instead of a fixed spring rate.

Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas Quick Lift Kit is built specifically for the Ford Ranger PX1 (2011-2015) and PX2 (2015-2018). It covers both the 2.2L and 3.2L diesel variants sold in Australia. If you're unsure which series you have, our team can confirm fitment from your rego or chassis details before you order. You can also check compatible parts using our parts finder for the Ranger PX2.
This kit delivers a 2" lift front and rear over standard Ranger PX ride height. The front struts arrive pre-assembled at this height, and the rear Nitro Gas shocks are matched to work with the standard leaf pack at the same lifted stance. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on accessory load and tyre size 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 two pre-assembled Dobinsons Nitro Gas front struts complete with coil springs, two Nitro Gas twin-tube rear shock absorbers, and two extended rear shackles. Mounting bushes and fitting hardware are supplied. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if you need them for extra clearance or improved geometry.
Yes, the twin-tube Nitro Gas rear shocks add support over standard PX shocks when a tow ball load or tray fitout is added. This kit alone doesn't change the leaf spring rate, so if you tow heavy trailers regularly, ask our team about a firmer rear spring option to suit your constant load. Combining this kit with the right spring rate gives more consistent ride height when towing.
At a 2" lift, standard Ranger PX control arms usually remain within a workable operating angle, but many owners fit upgraded control arms at the same time to correct CV joint angle and maximise wheel travel. It's not compulsory to run this kit, but it does improve geometry at the raised height. Talk to us if you're running larger tyres or heavier front accessories, as this can affect the recommendation.
Yes, a wheel alignment is required after installing this kit. Ride height changes affect camber and toe settings, and running the vehicle without a post-fit alignment leads to uneven tyre wear. We recommend booking the alignment straight after fitment and again after the 500km bed-in period.
This particular Nitro Gas Quick Lift Kit is supplied with the front strut spring rate matched to the pre-assembled unit, but Dobinsons offers separate rear leaf and coil options across their range for different constant loads. If your accessory setup is heavier than standard, contact our team before ordering so we can point you to a rear spring option better matched to your payload.
A 2" lift typically creates extra clearance for a modest tyre size increase on the Ranger PX1 and PX2, but exact clearance depends on your wheel offset and any body modifications. We recommend checking tyre diameter against your specific wheel width and offset, or contacting our fitment support team, before purchasing larger tyres.
This kit is covered by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects, and is sold through 4WD Suspension with local Australian stock and support. If you have any issue with the shocks or struts after fitment, our team can help process the warranty claim directly. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for warranty reference.
Yes, this kit is designed to retain comfortable on-road manners unladen while adding support once load is applied, making it suitable for a daily-driven Ranger PX. The Nitro Gas twin-tube shocks are tuned for a balance between everyday comfort and the extra support needed for touring or work use. Many owners run this exact setup as their daily driver and weekend tow vehicle.
