The Dobinsons Monotube Lift Kit fits the Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series (1990-1997) and 105 Series (1998-2007) and lifts the vehicle 2-3" using monotube shock technology paired with vehicle-specific coil springs front and rear. The single-tube shock design runs a larger piston than a twin-tube equivalent, improving heat dissipation on long touring runs and steep descents. Matched coil springs restore correct ride height under bull bars, winches and drawer systems without harsh on-road behaviour. Backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, dispatched from Australian stock, with our team on hand to confirm fitment before you order — browse the full lift kit range for other 4WD applications.

Lift height compliance: Suspension lifts of this size may exceed your state's allowable limit without engineering certification. Check your state's light vehicle modification rules (VSB14/NCOP) before fitting.
Choose your coil spring rate based on the constant accessory weight sitting on the vehicle, not just occasional camping load. Front accessories such as a steel bull bar, winch and second battery add constant weight that pulls down front ride height, so a heavier-rated front spring may be needed to hold the full 2-3" lift. Rear accessories including a canopy, drawer system, water tank or dual spare carrier have the same effect on rear springs, so tell us your fitted accessories before ordering.
This kit is best fitted by a qualified suspension workshop or an experienced DIY installer with a hoist and spring compressor, given the coil spring and shock removal involved on the 80/105 Series solid front axle. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to reset caster and toe to factory tolerance at the new ride height. Allow a 500km settling period for springs and bushes to bed in before final alignment if possible. These vehicles use a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod rather than IFS control arms, so geometry correction at lift height comes from caster-correction radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms plus an adjustable panhard rod.
Dobinsons is an Australian-engineered suspension brand with a long history supplying 4WD owners, tourers and fleet operators across the country. Every monotube shock and coil spring in this kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and tested against Australian conditions before release. Tradespeople and touring drivers alike run Dobinsons gear because the componentry is sold and supported locally — view the full Dobinsons range for other applications.
This kit suits LandCruiser 80/105 owners who tour with a loaded roof rack and drawers, tow a camper or boat, or run a tray and canopy for work. If you're carrying a genuinely variable load — swapping between empty and fully loaded regularly — talk to us about airbag suspension to supplement the rear coils. For a fixed touring or work setup, the correctly rated Dobinsons spring and monotube shock combination is generally the simpler solution.

Yes, the Dobinsons Monotube Lift Kit (SKU DML105N) is built specifically for the Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series (1990-1997) and 105 Series (1998-2007) with the solid front axle. The coil springs and monotube shocks are matched to this axle configuration, not a universal fit. If you're unsure of your exact series or build date, our team can confirm fitment before you order.
This kit provides a 2-3" lift front and rear over standard ride height, using vehicle-specific raised coil springs rather than spacers. The exact height within that range depends on the coil spring rate selected to suit your fitted accessories and constant load. Our team can help you pick the right rate for the lift height you're after.
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.
This vehicle runs a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod, so there are no upper or lower control arms to upgrade like an IFS vehicle. At around 2" of lift most vehicles run the kit as supplied; taller lifts benefit from caster correction (offset radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms) to restore steering self-centring, plus an adjustable panhard rod to re-centre the axle. Our team can advise what your lift height and build need.
Yes, provided you select rear coil springs rated for your typical tow ball download and any canopy or drawer weight already carried. The monotube rear shocks help control the additional pitching load a tow setup introduces. Tell us your caravan or trailer tow ball weight and we'll recommend the right rear spring rate.

Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The 2-3" lift changes caster and toe settings, and running the vehicle without realignment will cause uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel. We recommend an alignment straight after fitting and again after a 500km settling period.
Yes, Dobinsons offers front and rear coil springs in different rates to suit constant accessory loads such as bull bars, winches, canopies and drawer systems. Selecting the correct rate keeps the vehicle sitting level at the intended 2-3" lift rather than sagging under load. Tell us what's fitted to your LandCruiser and we'll help match the spring rate.
The added 2-3" of clearance from this kit generally allows a moderate tyre size increase over standard, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset, width and whether flares are fitted. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering so we can flag any rubbing points. This kit is a suspension lift only and doesn't include wheels or tyres.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms apply to both the monotube shocks and the coil springs when fitted and used as intended. Contact our team with your order details if you ever need to make a warranty claim.
Yes, the matched spring and monotube shock valving in this kit is designed to keep on-road ride quality comfortable at highway speed, not just off-road. Many 80/105 Series owners run this kit as their everyday suspension while still getting the ground clearance benefit for weekend touring. Ride comfort will depend on selecting the correct spring rate for your actual vehicle load.
