Bilstein B8 6112 Front Spring & Shock Kit
Upgrade your Ranger's front suspension with vehicle-specific damping and adjustable spring-seat positions. Bilstein kit 47-294301 pairs 60mm digressive-piston shocks with matched cold-wound coil springs for control on pavement and rough terrain. This is a front-axle kit, not a complete front-and-rear suspension system.
Fitment
For 2019–2023 Ford Ranger XL, XLT and Lariat, in the listed 4WD and rear-wheel-drive configurations. Excludes the Tremor Off-Road Package on 2021–2023 models. Do not assume compatibility with later-generation Rangers or unlisted applications.
Included components and front lift
- 47-294301 front kit: two 60mm monotube shock absorbers, two matched cold-wound coil springs and two billet aluminum spring seats.
- 4WD applications: adjustable spring-seat positions provide 0–2.5 inches of front lift.
- RWD applications: adjustable spring-seat positions provide 0.7–2.9 inches of front lift.
Lift comes from the supplied spring-and-shock system at the selected spring-seat position, not from shock damping alone. Use the correct drivetrain-specific settings in Bilstein's installation instructions. Actual ride height varies with vehicle weight, accessories and suspension condition; do not apply a universal lift figure to every Ranger.
Construction
The 2.65-inch outside-diameter shock bodies and 60mm digressive pistons provide increased damping control, with vehicle-specific tuning. Bilstein lists a 600 lb/in front main spring rate for this kit.
Installation
Have a qualified suspension technician follow the complete Bilstein instructions for assembly, spring-seat selection, required original-component reuse and fastener torque. Confirm tire clearance and alignment after installation. Rear shocks, rear lift components and other suspension upgrades are not listed as included.
