Choosing the right spring rate depends on the constant weight you carry, not just occasional gear. Front loads to consider include bull bars, winches, and driving lights; rear loads include drawer systems, long-range fuel tanks, water tanks, and camping gear. Tell our team your typical loaded weight before ordering so the FJ Cruiser sits level front to rear rather than sagging under constant accessory load.
This kit can be fitted by an experienced DIY installer with the right tools, but we recommend a suspension workshop for correct torque settings and setup. A full wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to reset camber, caster and toe for the new ride height. Allow a 500km break-in period for the springs and shocks to settle to their working height. If you're running larger tyres or heavy front accessories, pair the kit with upgraded control arm upgrades to correct geometry at the raised height.
Dobinsons designs and valves its Nitro Gas shocks in-house for Australian conditions, not just imported off a shelf. This kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and supported by our Australian-based fitment team who can answer spring rate and clearance questions before you buy. Tradespeople and tourers running FJ Cruisers across Australia use Dobinsons as their go-to suspension brand — view the full Dobinsons range for other vehicle applications.
This kit suits FJ Cruiser owners fitting larger tyres, bull bars, and touring accessories who need the extra clearance and matched spring rate this lift provides. It's a solid fit for weekend tourers and tradespeople carrying constant rear loads on the tray or in drawers. If you're carrying variable heavy loads such as a caravan tow ball weight, also look at our airbag suspension options to load-level on demand.

This kit is designed for the Toyota FJ Cruiser built 2007 to 2016, including the GSJ15R series fitted with the 4.0L V6 1GR-FE petrol engine. It uses the factory coil spring and shock mounting points, so no cutting or drilling is needed. If your FJ Cruiser has a modified axle or diff, contact our team first to confirm compatibility. Check your build date against the series above if you're not sure.
This kit gives a 2" front and 2" rear lift over standard ride height, measured at the coil spring perch. The lift comes from vehicle-specific raised coil springs paired with Nitro Gas shocks valved for the added travel. Actual ride height can vary slightly with vehicle load and tyre size, so ask our team if you need an exact figure for your setup.
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 Nitro Gas shock absorbers, plus 2 front and 2 rear 2" raised coil springs. Mounting hardware, bushes and fitting instructions are included in the box. Upper and lower control arms are not included and are sold separately if you need extended-travel arms.
Yes, the rear coil springs are matched to the FJ Cruiser's factory GVM and support constant accessory loads like roof racks, drawers and touring gear. For heavier constant loads such as a caravan tow ball weight, talk to our team about matching the rear spring rate to your setup before ordering. Getting the spring rate right keeps the rear from sagging under load.
At 2" of lift, most FJ Cruiser owners running standard-size tyres don't need upper control arms, since factory arms retain adequate CV and ball joint angles at this height. If you're fitting larger tyres or doing serious off-road articulation, upgraded control arms correct caster and extend arm travel. Our team can advise based on your tyre size and intended use.
Yes, a full wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit. Camber, caster and toe all change with the raised springs and shocks, so they need to be reset by a qualified alignment shop. Skipping alignment will cause uneven or premature tyre wear.
Dobinsons offers spring rate options for the FJ Cruiser to suit different constant loads, such as bull bars and winches up front, or long-range fuel tanks and drawer systems at the rear. Tell our fitment team your typical loaded weight so we can recommend the right spring rate before you order. This keeps the vehicle sitting level front to rear once loaded.
This 2" lift typically clears larger tyres than factory fitment, with many FJ Cruiser owners running up to a 33" tyre depending on wheel width and offset. Rubbing points vary by wheel combination, so check your exact wheel and tyre size with our team before ordering. Some combinations may need minor trimming of plastic guards.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, backed by our Australian-based support team. Keep your proof of purchase and follow the recommended installation and alignment steps to keep the warranty valid. Contact us directly if you have a warranty question specific to your vehicle.
Yes, this kit is built to retain factory-style ride comfort on-road while adding the extra height and clearance needed for touring and light off-road work. The Nitro Gas shocks are valved for a balance of daily comfort and load-carrying ability rather than a stiff, race-style setup. Many owners run this kit as their only suspension upgrade for daily driving and weekend touring.
