Selecting the correct spring rate is critical to achieving optimal ride quality, handling, and component longevity. When configuring your kit at checkout, choose spring rates based on constant load only — this means permanent accessories fitted to your LandCruiser such as bull bars, winches, roof racks, dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems, canopies, and water tanks. Do not factor in occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or towing weight, as these are temporary and selecting overly heavy springs will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and potential damage to other suspension components. Common front constant loads include steel bull bars (30-50kg), winches (30-40kg), and upgraded batteries, while rear constant loads typically include drawer systems (50-100kg), dual spare wheels (60kg), rear bars, and water tanks.
Professional installation by an experienced 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to restore correct camber, caster, and toe settings — preventing premature tyre wear and ensuring safe handling characteristics. All Dobinsons suspension requires a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle and shocks will bed in — expect final ride height to be achieved after this initial period. Depending on your lift height and intended use, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore suspension geometry and maximise articulation and component life.
Dobinsons Spring & Suspension has been engineering premium 4WD suspension solutions for over 60 years, with a reputation built on Australian outback testing, real-world durability, and uncompromising quality. Trusted by touring families, tradespeople, mining operators, and adventure seekers across Australia and globally, Dobinsons products are backed by comprehensive warranty and supported by a national network of specialist retailers and installers.

This kit is ideal for LandCruiser 80 and 105 Series owners who tour regularly, tow caravans or camper trailers, carry constant heavy loads in drawers and canopies, or require additional ground clearance for remote track access and larger tyre fitment. It's equally suited to daily drivers seeking improved ride height and presence, tradespeople carrying tools and equipment, and families upgrading for safer, more capable long-distance touring. If you frequently carry extreme rear loads or tow at maximum capacity, consider supplementing this kit with airbag suspension for on-demand load support and level ride height adjustment.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered to fit all Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series (1990-1998) and 105 Series (1998-2007) models with solid front axles. It suits both petrol and diesel engine variants and integrates with factory mounting points for straightforward installation. If you have a 100 Series (IFS) LandCruiser, you'll need a different kit design. Check our parts finder or contact us if you're unsure about your specific model and year.
This kit delivers approximately 2 inches (50mm) of lift height over factory ride height when correctly installed and settled. Actual lift can vary slightly depending on your vehicle's current condition, the spring rates selected, and your constant accessory load. After the recommended 500km break-in period, springs will settle to their final height. This lift is ideal for fitting 33-inch tyres (depending on wheel offset) and provides excellent ground clearance for touring and moderate off-road use without compromising daily drivability.
This complete kit includes 2 x Dobinsons nitro gas front shock absorbers, 2 x raised front coil springs, 2 x nitro gas rear shock absorbers, and 2 x raised rear coil springs. Spring rates for both front and rear are customisable at checkout based on your constant load requirements. The kit does not include installation hardware, upper control arms, brake line extensions, or other ancillary components that may be required depending on your vehicle's configuration and intended use. Professional installation is recommended.
Yes, this kit significantly improves towing performance compared to factory suspension, thanks to upgraded spring rates and superior shock damping that reduce body squat, improve stability, and maintain controlled handling under load. However, when selecting your spring rates, only account for constant accessories fitted to the vehicle — not the towing weight itself. For extreme towing or heavy rear loads, consider adding airbag suspension for on-demand adjustability and load support. Always ensure your total vehicle and towing weights remain within manufacturer GVM and GCM ratings.
While this 2-inch lift kit can be fitted with factory control arms, upgrading to heavy-duty or adjustable control arms is highly recommended for optimal suspension geometry, improved articulation, and extended component life. A lift of this height can alter castor and camber angles, and upgraded arms allow precise adjustment to restore correct geometry and improve on-road handling and off-road performance. Control arms also feature stronger bushings and construction to handle the increased forces from larger tyres and off-road use. Contact us for recommendations specific to your build.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit. Lifting your LandCruiser alters suspension geometry including camber, caster, and toe angles, which directly affects tyre wear, steering feel, and vehicle stability. A professional alignment ensures these settings are restored to safe, optimal specifications and prevents premature or uneven tyre wear. Book your alignment with a workshop experienced in 4WD suspension who can adjust settings appropriately for your lifted configuration and intended use.
Yes, one of the key advantages of this Dobinsons kit is the ability to select customised spring rates for both front and rear during checkout. This ensures your suspension is perfectly matched to your constant accessory load — items permanently fitted to your vehicle like bull bars, winches, drawers, roof racks, and water tanks. It's critical to select spring rates based on constant load only, not occasional loads or towing weight, as overly heavy springs will cause harsh ride quality and potential damage to other components. If you're unsure which spring rate to choose, contact our team for expert advice.
Yes, this 2-inch lift typically allows fitment of 33-inch diameter tyres on LandCruiser 80 and 105 Series vehicles, depending on wheel offset, tyre width, and whether any minor trimming is required. Actual tyre clearance depends on your specific wheel and tyre combination, suspension compression under load, and steering lock position. For maximum clearance and articulation, some owners also fit adjustable control arms and consider diff breather relocation. We recommend test-fitting tyres at full lock and compression before finalising your wheel and tyre choice, or consult with our team for specific recommendations.

Perfect Setup for Remote Outback Work
Been running this Dobinsons 2-inch lift kit on my 105 for about 8 months now, covering everything from the Canning Stock Route to the high country tracks in Victoria. The nitro gas shocks handle corrugations brilliantly while still keeping things comfortable when loaded up with recovery gear and jerry cans. Fitment was spot-on with no dramas during installation, and the increased clearance has already saved my diff more than once on rocky creek crossings.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Touring Rig
Fitted this Dobinsons 2 inch lift kit to our 105 Series a few months back and it's transformed how the old girl handles on corrugated outback tracks with the camper trailer in tow. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially when loaded up with the family and all our camping gear. Really impressed with how well everything bolted up and the ground clearance has already saved our bacon on a couple of creek crossings up in the High Country.(5)
