Dobinsons Monotube Quick Lift Kit fits the Toyota Hilux N70 (2005-2015) and delivers a 2"-3" lift using pre-assembled IMS monotube front struts, cutting workshop time versus loose-strut kits. Extended rear shackles work with Dobinsons Nitro Gas rear shock absorbers to raise the leaf-sprung rear end and match front-to-rear ride height. Front struts arrive complete with coil springs and top mounts already fitted, ready to bolt onto the factory mounting points. Backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and dispatched from Australian stock, with fitment support from our lift kit specialists.

This Quick Lift kit ships with one factory-matched front coil rate inside the pre-assembled strut, so there's no front spring rate choice at point of sale. If you're carrying a heavier bull bar, dual battery tray or winch, tell our team the accessory weight before ordering so we can check whether a heavier-rate coil spring suits your build better than this kit. Rear lift comes from the extended shackle rather than a spring change, so rear load capacity stays close to standard unless you also upgrade the leaf springs for towing or touring loads.
Fitting the pre-assembled front struts is faster than loose-spring kits because the coil spring, strut and top mount arrive as one unit, so most workshops complete the front-end swap in a standard suspension bay session. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting, as camber and caster change with any coil strut lift. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the Nitro Gas shocks and shackle bushes to settle before fine-tuning ride height. For lifts at the 3" end of the range, pair this kit with control arm upgrades to bring CV angles and caster back within factory tolerance.
Dobinsons has been designing 4WD suspension in Australia since 1978, developing its IMS monotube shocks and Nitro Gas dampers through local load and corrugation testing. Every strut and shock in this kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, backed by our Australian-based fitment support team. Tradespeople and touring drivers running N70 Hilux utes both spec Dobinsons for the combination of coil-strut ride comfort and leaf-pack durability — view the full Dobinsons range for other Hilux options.
This kit suits Hilux N70 owners wanting a straightforward 2"-3" lift for larger tyres and extra underbody clearance without swapping to loose coil springs. It's a good fit for tradies running a canopy and tools who want a faster front-end install, and for weekend tourers fitting a bull bar, winch or roof-top tent. If you're carrying constant heavy rear loads such as a caravan or camper trailer, also look at airbag suspension to manage rear sag under load.
This Dobinsons Quick Lift Kit is in stock in Australia now, dispatched from our warehouse with fitment support from our in-house suspension team. Tell us your Hilux N70 build details — fitted accessories, towing weight, tyre size — and we'll confirm this is the right kit before you order.

Yes — this Dobinsons Quick Lift Kit is designed for the Toyota Hilux N70 built 2005-2015, covering Workmate, SR and SR5 variants across the 2.5L and 3.0L turbo-diesel and 4.0L V6 petrol engines. Because the front struts are IFS coil-strut units and the rear uses leaf springs with shackles, fitment is specific to N70 mounting points and won't suit the earlier N50 or later N80 Hilux. If you're unsure of your build date or variant, check your compliance plate or use our parts finder for the N70, or contact our team before ordering.
This kit delivers 2" to 3" of lift, with the exact height depending on front accessory weight and how the rear shackles settle against your leaf pack. Front lift comes from the pre-assembled IMS monotube strut and coil spring; rear lift comes from the extended shackle length. Ride height should be measured after the 500km bedding-in period, not immediately after install, since bushes and springs need time to settle.
The kit includes 2 pre-assembled Dobinsons IMS monotube front struts with coil springs and top mounts fitted, 2 Dobinsons Nitro Gas rear shock absorbers, 2 extended rear shackles, shackle bushes and mounting hardware. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if you need corrected geometry at the top of the lift range. Fitting instructions are supplied with the kit.
The rear shackles in this kit raise ride height but don't increase the leaf spring's load rating, so towball download capacity stays close to factory unless you also upgrade the leaf springs. For regular towing with a loaded trailer or caravan, we'd recommend pairing this kit with heavier-rate leaf springs or adding airbag suspension to control rear sag under load. Talk to our team about your trailer weight before ordering so we can recommend the right rear-end combination.
At 2" lift most N70 Hilux utes stay within acceptable CV joint and caster angles on the factory control arms. At the 3" end of the range, upgraded control arms are recommended to correct camber, caster and CV angle and to reduce wear on CV boots. Our team can check your target lift height and accessory load to confirm whether a control arm upgrade is needed for your build.
Yes. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit because coil strut height changes camber and caster at the front axle. Book an alignment immediately after install, and again after the 500km bedding-in period once the springs and shackle bushes have settled into their final position.
This Quick Lift kit ships with one front coil rate built into the pre-assembled strut, so there's no spring rate selection at checkout for this specific SKU. If you're running a heavy bull bar, winch or dual battery setup, tell us the accessory weight before ordering and we can advise whether a different Dobinsons coil spring option suits your load better than this kit.
A 2"-3" lift on the N70 Hilux generally clears larger-than-stock tyres, but the exact size depends on your wheel offset, tray or tub fitment and whether guard liners are trimmed. We recommend confirming your target tyre size with our team before ordering so we can advise on clearance at your chosen lift height.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty on the IMS monotube struts and Nitro Gas rear shocks. Contact our team for the specific warranty period and claim process, and keep your purchase invoice as proof of fitment date.
Yes. The IMS monotube front struts and Nitro Gas rear shocks are tuned to keep on-road ride quality close to standard at unladen weight while adding the extra clearance and stance of a 2"-3" lift. Many N70 Hilux owners run this kit as their daily driver and tow/tour setup without a harsh ride, provided front accessory weight stays within the coil spring's matched range.
