Choosing the correct spring rate is critical for ride quality, component longevity and safe handling. Always select springs based on your constant load — weight permanently fitted to your vehicle, not occasional cargo or towing loads. Front accessories include bull bars, winches, steel bumpers, driving lights and heavy-duty batteries. Rear constant loads include canopies, drawers, dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, rear bars and permanently mounted equipment. Occasional loads like camping gear, passengers or towing should not be factored into spring selection as overloading springs causes harsh ride and premature wear of bushes and shocks.
Professional installation by a qualified mechanic or experienced 4WD workshop is strongly recommended for this complete suspension system. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct toe, camber and caster settings for even tyre wear and safe handling characteristics. A 500km break-in period is required for springs to settle and shocks to bed-in — recheck all mounting hardware torque specs after this period. For PX3 Rangers with significant lift or heavy front-end loads, consider pairing with upgraded control arms to correct ball joint angles and restore factory steering geometry for improved high-speed stability and reduced component wear.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one 4WD suspension brand through decades of proven performance in the harshest conditions on earth. Every kit is designed and validated by Australian engineers who understand the unique demands of outback touring, remote station work and coastal corrosion. Backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and trusted by everyone from Grey Nomad tourers to mining contractors, the full Toughdog suspension range delivers unmatched value, durability and ride quality that cheaper imports simply cannot match.
This Toughdog lift kit is ideal for Ford Ranger PX3 owners who need dependable suspension performance for long-distance touring, daily tradework with constant payload, or weekend off-road adventures. Tradespeople carrying toolboxes and equipment will appreciate the upgraded rear leaf springs' load capacity, while touring enthusiasts towing caravans or camper trailers benefit from improved stability and ground clearance. If you frequently vary your load or tow heavy trailers, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear for on-demand adjustability and level ride height under all conditions.

This kit is specifically engineered for Ford Ranger PX3 (also known as PXIII) models manufactured between 2018 and 2023, covering all variants including XL, XLS, XLT, Wildtrak and Raptor with both 3.2L five-cylinder and 2.0L Bi-Turbo engines. The kit fits both single cab and dual cab body styles. If you have an earlier PX1 (2011-2015) or PX2 (2015-2018) Ranger, different part numbers are required due to suspension geometry differences. Use our online parts finder or contact our team to confirm exact fitment for your VIN.
This Toughdog suspension system provides approximately 40-50mm of lift at both front and rear, measured at the wheel arch under normal load conditions. Actual lift height varies slightly depending on the spring rate selected, your vehicle's constant accessory weight, and factory manufacturing tolerances. This moderate lift height is ideal for fitting 32-33 inch tyres, improving approach and departure angles, and increasing ground clearance for touring without requiring modifications to driveline angles, brake lines or steering components that more aggressive lifts demand.
This comprehensive kit includes everything needed for a complete front and rear suspension upgrade: two front strut assemblies with raised coil springs, two rear leaf spring packs, two rear shock absorbers, complete U-bolt kit for leaf spring installation, polyurethane rear spring bush kit, rear centre bearing spacers, and all necessary mounting hardware. You can select front coil spring rates (0-60kg or constant 60-100kg) and rear leaf spring ratings (standard or upgraded to 300kg/500kg constant load) during checkout to match your specific accessory setup and load requirements.
Yes, this kit significantly improves towing stability and capacity compared to worn factory suspension, especially when you select the upgraded 300kg or 500kg constant load rear leaf springs. The foam cell shock absorbers provide excellent damping control under the dynamic loads created by towing, reducing sway and maintaining ride height. However, for maximum versatility when towing varying weights, many Ranger owners combine this lift kit with supplementary airbags that allow on-demand load adjustment and perfectly level ride height regardless of trailer weight, preventing headlight glare and unsafe squat.
Control arm upgrades are not mandatory for this 40-50mm lift height, but they are highly recommended if you're running heavy front-end loads (bull bar, winch, steel bumper) or want optimal handling geometry. The moderate lift changes ball joint angles slightly, which upgraded control arms correct by repositioning the mounting points. This restoration of factory geometry improves high-speed stability, reduces steering wander, minimizes tyre wear and extends the life of ball joints and CV boots. Many experienced PX3 owners budget for control arms at the time of lift installation to maximize performance and component longevity.
Yes, professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any suspension lift kit. The installation process and changed ride height alter your vehicle's toe, camber and caster settings, which directly affect tyre wear patterns, steering feel and handling safety. A qualified alignment technician will adjust these angles to manufacturer specifications (or modified specs for lifted vehicles) using laser alignment equipment. Skipping this critical step will result in rapid irregular tyre wear, poor handling characteristics and potentially dangerous steering behavior, especially at highway speeds or during emergency maneuvers.
Yes, this kit's customisable spring rates are one of its key advantages. During checkout you'll select front coil spring ratings (0-60kg for minimal accessories, or constant 60-100kg for bull bars and winches) and rear leaf spring ratings (standard for light loads, or upgraded 300kg/500kg constant load for canopies and drawers). It's critical to select springs based only on your constant accessory weight — equipment permanently fitted to the vehicle. Selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual load will result in unnecessarily harsh ride quality and may accelerate wear on shock absorbers, bushes and mounting points.
This 40-50mm lift typically allows Ford Ranger PX3 owners to fit 32-33 inch diameter tyres (265/70R17 or 285/70R17) without rubbing on standard wheel offsets, though some minor trimming of mudflaps or plastic guards may be required depending on wheel backspacing and driving conditions. Larger 33-35 inch tyres may require additional modifications such as guard trimming, offset wheels, or diff drop kits to prevent contact during full suspension compression or steering lock. Always test-fit tyres through full suspension and steering travel before committing to a wheel and tyre package, and remember that larger tyres affect gearing, speedometer accuracy and fuel economy.
Toughdog suspension components are backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Specific warranty periods vary by component type (typically 12-36 months depending on the part) and require installation by a qualified professional with proof of purchase. The warranty covers failures due to manufacturing defects but does not cover damage from incorrect installation, inappropriate spring rate selection, overloading beyond rated capacity, collision damage, or lack of proper maintenance. Keep your installation receipts and register your purchase with Toughdog to ensure full warranty protection and streamlined claims process if required.
Absolutely — when correctly matched to your load profile, this Toughdog kit delivers excellent daily driving comfort that often exceeds worn factory suspension. The foam cell shock absorbers are specifically valved for touring and daily use rather than harsh competition settings, providing compliant ride over small bumps while controlling body roll and load stability. The key to comfort is honest spring rate selection: if you select springs too stiff for your actual constant load, ride quality will be unnecessarily harsh. When properly specified, PX3 Ranger owners consistently report improved comfort, reduced body roll and better control compared to factory suspension, especially on corrugated roads and with touring loads fitted.
Perfect upgrade for our family camping adventures
Fitted this Toughdog lift kit to our PX3 Ranger before our recent trip through the High Country and the difference is night and day. The ride quality is so much better with the camper trailer loaded up, and the kids actually stopped complaining about the bumpy roads. Really impressed with how it's transformed the handling on corrugated tracks while still being comfortable enough for the daily school run.(5)
Perfect Setup for Remote Outback Touring
Been running this Toughdog lift kit on my PX3 for about 8 months now, covering some seriously corrugated tracks out west of Alice and through the Simpson. The ride quality loaded up with recovery gear, extra fuel and water is genuinely impressive - none of that harsh jarring you get with cheaper setups. Fitment was spot on and it's handling the punishment of remote touring without any dramas whatsoever.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
Fitted this Toughdog lift kit to our PX3 Ranger a few months back and it's been brilliant for our weekend camping trips down the coast and up through the high country. The ride quality is noticeably smoother with the camper trailer loaded up, and the kids reckon the bumpy tracks aren't half as rough anymore. Really happy with how it's handling the extra weight of all our gear and still comfortable for the long highway drives.(5)
Perfect Setup for My Work Ranger
Been running this Toughdog lift kit on my PX3 Ranger for six months now, hauling tools and materials every day around Sydney's building sites. The ride quality is seriously impressive - way smoother than the old setup even with a full load in the tray. Had it on some fire trails up in the Blue Mountains last month and it handled the rough stuff like a dream without any dramas.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Ranger
Had this Toughdog lift kit fitted to our PX3 before our latest trip down to Wilsons Prom and the difference is night and day. The ride quality is so much better with the kids and all our camping gear loaded up, and we tackled some pretty rough tracks without any dramas. Really impressed with how well everything fitted together during installation too. Couldn't be happier with the upgrade for the price point.(5)
