The Dobinsons Nitro Gas Lift Kit suits the Toyota Hilux N70 (2005-2015) and delivers a 2-3" lift using twin-tube nitrogen-charged shock absorbers front and rear. The kit pairs raised coil springs with raised leaf springs to lift the vehicle while keeping the ride settled on the black top and controlled on dirt. Poly bushes and U-bolts are included, so the whole lift kit goes on without hunting for extra parts. Dobinsons back it with a manufacturer warranty, and it ships from Australian stock with fitment support from our team.

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 rear leaf spring rate based on the constant weight you carry, not just your GVM. A tourer running a canopy, drawers, fridge and long-range fuel tank sits at a different constant load than a tradie carrying tools and a toolbox daily, so tell us your fitted accessories and average load before ordering. Common items that affect spring selection include bullbars and winches (front), and canopies, dual batteries, water tanks, drawer systems and caravan tow ball weight (rear).
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a competent DIY mechanic with the right tools, given the spring compression and U-bolt torque steps involved. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct camber, caster and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km break-in period for the springs to settle before a final alignment check. If you're lifting past 2", pair this kit with upgraded control arms to restore correct front geometry and CV joint angles.
Dobinsons has been developing 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, valving shocks and setting spring rates against local corrugations, sand and highway conditions rather than overseas test tracks alone. This kit carries a manufacturer warranty and is trusted by both weekend tourers and tradespeople who load their Hilux daily. You can view the full Dobinsons range for matching components across your Hilux.
This kit suits Hilux N70 owners who tour with camper trailers or caravans, tradespeople carrying tools and equipment daily, and anyone fitting a canopy or bullbar who needs the extra clearance and load support. If your rear load varies significantly trip to trip, it's worth comparing this coil/leaf setup against airbag suspension for adjustable load support.

This kit gives a 2-3" lift front and rear over standard Hilux N70 ride height, achieved through raised coil springs up front and raised leaf springs at the rear working with the Nitro Gas shocks. The exact result depends on your vehicle's accessory load — extra front weight like a bullbar or winch, or rear weight like a canopy, will settle the lift slightly lower than an unladen vehicle. Talk to our team about your setup so we can confirm the expected ride height for your Hilux.
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 Dobinsons Nitro Gas front struts, 2 Nitro Gas rear shocks, 2 raised front coil springs, 2 raised rear leaf springs, U-bolt kits sized for the new leaf pack, and polyurethane bushes for the rear leaf spring eyes and shackles. Fitting instructions are included. Upper control arms are not included and are worth considering separately at this lift height for correct geometry.
Yes, the raised leaf springs and Nitro Gas rear shocks are designed to support constant accessory loads like canopies, dual batteries and tow ball weight, which makes this kit suitable for van and camper trailer towing. The right outcome depends on choosing a spring rate that matches your actual loaded weight, not just your GVM rating. Tell us your typical towing setup and we'll help confirm the spring rate that suits your Hilux.
At a 2" lift, factory control arms generally continue to work within acceptable geometry limits on the Hilux N70. At the upper end of this kit's 3" lift range, upgraded control arms are recommended to correct caster angle and restore CV joint operating angles. This reduces uneven tyre wear and improves steering feel at highway speed. Our team can advise based on your chosen lift height and driving use.
Yes, a full wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit, as the ride height change alters camber, caster and toe from factory settings. We recommend a further alignment check after a 500km break-in period once the new springs have settled. Skipping alignment will lead to uneven tyre wear and can affect steering stability. This applies whether the kit is fitted by a workshop or an experienced DIY installer.
Yes, Dobinsons offers this Nitro Gas kit with spring rate options to suit different constant loads, particularly on the rear leaf springs. If you run a canopy, water tank, drawers or tow a caravan regularly, a firmer rear spring rate keeps the rear from sagging under that constant weight. Let our team know your typical accessory load when ordering so we can recommend the closest match for your Hilux N70.
A 2-3" lift on the Hilux N70 typically clears larger tyre sizes than what fits under a standard-height Hilux, though the maximum size depends on your wheel offset and whether you run flares or a body lift alongside this kit. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering so we can flag any rubbing points specific to your wheel and tyre combination. Wheel alignment after fitting also helps maximise clearance at full steering lock.
This Dobinsons Nitro Gas Lift Kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects in the shocks and springs. Warranty terms are supported through 4WD Suspension as your Australian point of contact, so you're not dealing with an overseas supplier if a claim is needed. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for any warranty claim. Contact our team directly if you have a warranty query on this kit.
Yes, this kit is designed to keep on-road manners close to standard while adding off-road clearance, which is why it suits Hilux N70 owners who drive daily and tour or tow on weekends. The twin-tube Nitro Gas shock design is aimed at controlled, comfortable damping rather than a stiff off-road-only setup. Choosing the correct spring rate for your actual daily load, rather than the heaviest available option, keeps the ride comfortable around town.
