Choose your rear leaf spring rate based on the constant weight you carry, not just occasional loads. A tray back with a steel canopy, dual battery setup, bullbar, and long-range fuel tank all add constant mass that should be factored into the spring selection before you order. Common accessories to weigh up include steel bullbars, winches, canopies, drawer systems, water tanks, and rooftop tents on the front, plus canopies, tool boxes and caravan or trailer tow ball weight on the rear.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a qualified mechanic, given the torque specs and leaf spring U-bolt tensioning involved. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring camber, caster and toe back within factory tolerance at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the springs to settle before a final alignment check. Many owners pair this kit with control arm upgrades to correct front geometry and CV angles at 2" of lift.
Dobinsons has been supplying 4WD suspension to the Australian market for decades, with kits developed and tested locally for conditions tourers and tradespeople actually drive in. Every MRA kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and supported by our team's fitment knowledge on the N70 platform specifically. You can view the full Dobinsons range to compare this kit against other lift options for your Hilux.
This kit suits tradespeople running a canopy and tools daily, grey nomads towing a caravan or camper trailer, and weekend tourers wanting a 2" lift for bigger tyres and clearance. If your load varies a lot trip to trip, it's worth also looking at airbag suspension to fine-tune rear height under varying weight.

Yes, this Dobinsons MRA kit is built specifically for the Toyota Hilux N70 built between 2005 and 2015, covering Dual Cab, Extra Cab and Single Cab variants. It suits the 2.5L and 3.0L turbo diesel engines as well as the 4.0L V6 petrol. If you're unsure which N70 sub-model you have, our parts finder for the Hilux N70 will confirm exact fitment before you order.
This kit provides a 2" lift at both the front and rear of the Hilux N70, measured at standard ride height unladen. The lift comes from vehicle-specific front coil springs and 2" raised rear leaf springs working together with the MRA shocks. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on accessory load and spring rate chosen.
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 front and 2 rear Dobinsons MRA Adjustable monotube remote-reservoir shock absorbers, 2 front coil springs, 2 rear leaf springs, front strut mount bushes, a rear U-bolt kit and greasable shackle pins and bushes. Fitting instructions and a damping adjustment guide are included. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if required.
Yes, the MRA shocks' external reservoir design adds oil capacity which helps manage heat when towing a caravan or trailer over long distances. The rear leaf springs can be matched to a constant load rate to suit your typical tow ball weight. Speak with our team about your caravan or trailer weight so we can confirm the right spring rate for your N70.
At a 2" lift, factory control arms will still function but geometry and CV joint angles move away from the factory setting. Upgrading to aftermarket control arms corrects castor and improves CV angle, particularly if you're running larger tyres or towing regularly. It's not mandatory at 2" but it's a common pairing our customers choose for a more balanced setup.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The new ride height changes camber, caster and toe from factory settings, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and steering feel. We recommend a follow-up alignment check after the 500km bedding-in period once the springs have settled.
Yes, Dobinsons offers different rear leaf spring options to suit varying constant loads such as canopies, dual battery trays, tool boxes or caravan tow ball weight. Front coil springs are also available in different rates depending on bullbar, winch and accessory weight. Tell our team what you're carrying day to day and we'll help match the right rate for your N70.
A 2" lift on the N70 typically creates clearance for a moderate increase in tyre diameter over factory-fitted rubber, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset and width. We recommend checking your intended tyre size against your rim specs with our team before purchasing tyres. Flares or trimming may still be needed for some larger tyre and wheel combinations.
This kit is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects in the shocks and springs. Warranty terms are handled through 4WD Suspension as your local supplier, so you deal with an Australian team rather than an overseas manufacturer directly. Keep your proof of purchase and installation date for any warranty claim.
Yes, the MRA shocks are designed to balance on-road comfort with off-road control, and many N70 owners run this kit as a daily driver as well as for touring and towing. The 3-way adjustable damping lets you soften the ride for commuting and firm it up for a loaded trailer or rough tracks. On-road manners are comparable to a well-set-up standard suspension, just with 2" more clearance.
