Choosing the right spring rate comes down to what's permanently bolted to the vehicle, not just what you carry occasionally. Front accessories like a steel bull bar, winch and driving lights add constant weight over the front axle, while rear accessories such as a canopy, drawers, dual battery tray, long-range fuel tank or caravan tow ball weight load the rear leaf springs. Tell our team your typical accessory and touring load and we'll confirm whether the standard leaf pack in this kit suits your setup or if a heavier-rated option is needed.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a competent DIY mechanic with a workshop hoist and spring compressor. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitment because ride height and castor angle change with a 2" lift. Allow a 500km break-in period for the new leaf springs and shocks to settle before fine-tuning tyre pressures and alignment. 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 has been developing 4WD suspension in Australia for decades and this Nitro Gas kit is valved specifically for the 76 Series wagon rather than shared across unrelated platforms. Every kit carries a manufacturer warranty and is backed by fitment support from our team, so you're not guessing at compatibility before you order. Tradespeople, remote-area travellers and caravan owners running the 76 Series rely on this Dobinsons suspension range for consistent load-carrying performance on Australian roads and tracks.
This kit suits 76 Series owners who tow regularly, carry a fitted-out canopy or tray, or run touring gear like rooftop tents and long-range tanks. It's a solid fit for tradespeople needing a stable rear end under a loaded tray and grey nomads towing a van behind their wagon. If your rear load is constant and heavy rather than occasional, it's worth comparing this leaf spring kit against airbag suspension as a load-levelling alternative.

Yes, this Dobinsons Nitro Gas kit is designed specifically for the Toyota LandCruiser 76 Series wagon from 1999 onward, covering the 1HZ, 1HDT and 1VD-FTV V8 engine variants. The front coils and rear leaf springs are matched to the 76 Series chassis and axle mounts, not a generic fitment. If you're unsure about your build date or engine option, our suspension experts can confirm fitment before you order.
This kit provides a genuine 2" lift at both the front and rear of the 76 Series wagon. The lift comes from vehicle-specific raised front coil springs and raised rear leaf springs rather than spacers. Final ride height can vary slightly depending on accessory load, particularly at the rear where fitted canopies or tow ball weight settle the springs.
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, the rear leaf springs in this kit are designed to support constant rear loads such as tow ball weight, drawers and long-range fuel tanks without excessive sag. The nitro gas rear shocks control rebound under a loaded tow setup better than a worn factory shock. If you're towing a heavy van regularly, tell us your typical loaded weight so we can confirm the leaf pack in this kit is the right rate for your combination.

Yes, a wheel alignment is required after this kit is installed because the 2" lift changes ride height, castor and camber angles. Skipping alignment leads to uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel on the 76 Series. We recommend booking an alignment straight after fitment and again after the 500km break-in period.
Dobinsons offers different leaf spring pack options for the 76 Series depending on constant rear accessory load, such as a canopy, dual battery setup or caravan tow ball weight. This listing is packaged with the standard rate leaf springs for this kit; if your accessory load is heavier than average, contact our team to discuss a higher-rated leaf option before ordering.
A 2" lift on the 76 Series typically creates clearance for a moderate tyre size increase over standard, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset, width and your driving style. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team so we can advise on clearance and whether flares or trimming are needed. Wheel alignment and correct backspacing remain important regardless of tyre size chosen.
This Dobinsons Nitro Gas kit is covered by the Dobinsons manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms apply to the shocks and springs as supplied and are separate from any workshop labour warranty on installation. Keep your purchase invoice from 4WD Suspension as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes, the nitro gas shocks and matched springs in this kit are tuned to keep the 76 Series comfortable unladen, not just under load. Many owners run this kit as a daily driven and weekend touring setup without a harsh ride. Ride comfort will firm up once genuine accessory loads such as a bull bar or drawers are fitted, which is expected with a load-rated leaf spring.
