The adjustable height feature allows you to compensate for accessory weight and maintain optimal rear suspension geometry. If you're running a steel tray, canopy, drawer systems, dual spare wheels, long-range fuel tanks, or regularly tow a caravan or trailer, you can dial in additional height to restore factory ride height and improve handling. Start at the middle adjustment position and fine-tune based on your typical load configuration — the collar system can be adjusted in minutes without removing the shocks from the vehicle.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, safety, and warranty compliance. While experienced DIY mechanics can complete the installation, proper torque specifications and safety procedures must be followed. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to prevent uneven tyre wear and maintain optimal handling characteristics. Allow a 500km break-in period for bushings and seals to settle before making final height adjustments. For a complete rear suspension upgrade, consider pairing these shocks with heavy-duty leaf springs matched to your load requirements.

Yes, these Dobinsons IFP Adjustable Height Rear Shocks are engineered specifically for all Toyota Hilux N80 series from 2015 onwards, including GUN126R and GUN136R models. They fit all variants including SR, SR5, Workmate, and Rugged X in both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations. The shocks are designed as a direct bolt-on replacement with no modifications required to your Hilux chassis or mounting points. If you have a heavily modified vehicle or are unsure about compatibility, please contact our team to confirm fitment for your specific setup.
The Dobinsons IFP Adjustable Height Rear Shocks feature a multi-position threaded collar system that allows approximately 50mm of height adjustment range. This means you can raise or lower your rear ride height to compensate for accessory weight such as canopies, bull bars, drawer systems, or towing loads. The adjustment collar can be repositioned without removing the shocks from the vehicle, allowing you to fine-tune your suspension as your load changes. Start at the middle position and adjust up or down based on how your Hilux sits with your typical payload configuration.
This kit includes 2 x Dobinsons Monotube IFP Adjustable Height Rear Shock Absorbers with pre-installed height adjustment collars and locking rings. All necessary Dobinsons bushings and mounting hardware are included for direct bolt-on installation to your Toyota Hilux N80. You'll also receive installation instructions, an adjustment guide, and manufacturer warranty documentation. Note that this kit covers rear shocks only — front shocks, springs, and other suspension components are sold separately and can be found in our Toyota Hilux N80 parts catalogue.
Absolutely — these Dobinsons IFP monotube shocks are specifically engineered for heavy towing applications including caravans, camper trailers, and work trailers. The Internal Floating Piston design provides consistent, fade-free damping even under sustained heavy loads, while the adjustable height feature allows you to compensate for towball weight and maintain level rear ride height. The monotube construction offers superior heat dissipation compared to twin-tube designs, preventing shock fade during long highway towing sessions. For maximum towing control and load-carrying capacity, many customers pair these shocks with upgraded leaf springs or airbag suspension.
Control arm upgrades are not required when fitting these rear shocks to your Hilux N80, as the rear suspension uses a leaf spring setup rather than independent suspension with control arms. However, if you're planning a complete suspension system upgrade including front lift components, you may want to consider upgraded front control arms to correct front suspension geometry and maximize your lift kit's performance. The adjustable height feature of these rear shocks allows you to level your vehicle front-to-rear when paired with a front lift kit. Our team can help you design a complete balanced suspension package for your specific requirements.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installing any suspension components including these adjustable rear shocks. While rear shocks don't directly affect toe or camber settings, changing ride height can alter your vehicle's suspension geometry and weight distribution, which can impact alignment angles. Professional alignment ensures even tyre wear, optimal handling characteristics, and maximum tyre life. The alignment should be performed after installation and again after the 500km break-in period once bushings and components have fully settled. Most suspension specialists include alignment in their installation service.
These are shock absorbers only and do not include springs — your Hilux N80's load capacity and ride height are primarily determined by your rear leaf springs. However, the adjustable height feature on these shocks allows you to compensate for spring sag or varying loads without changing springs. If you need increased load capacity, you should consider upgrading to heavy-duty or extra heavy-duty leaf springs matched to your typical payload, then use the shock adjustability to fine-tune ride height. Our suspension experts can recommend the ideal spring and shock combination based on your constant accessory weight and intended use.
These shocks can be adjusted to provide additional rear lift which may accommodate slightly larger tyres, but tyre clearance depends on your complete suspension setup including front lift height, leaf spring choice, and wheel offset. Generally, adjusting these shocks to maximum height can provide 30-50mm of additional rear clearance. For significant tyre size increases (33" and above), you'll typically need a complete lift kit including front struts or coils, longer shocks, and potentially diff drop kits or body lift components. Check our Toyota Hilux N80 parts finder for complete lift kit options, or contact our team to discuss your target tyre size and required suspension modifications.
All Dobinsons suspension components including these IFP Adjustable Height Rear Shocks are backed by a comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Dobinsons is an established Australian suspension brand with decades of proven reliability, and they stand behind their products with industry-leading warranty support. Warranty coverage requires professional installation by a qualified technician and normal use within the product's design parameters. Full warranty terms and documentation are included with your shock kit. For specific warranty duration and claim procedures, please refer to the included warranty card or contact our customer service team.
Yes, these Dobinsons IFP monotube shocks deliver excellent on-road ride quality while maintaining the durability needed for serious 4WD work. The monotube design provides more consistent damping than traditional twin-tube shocks, resulting in better control over bumps, reduced body roll, and improved stability at highway speeds. While they're engineered to handle tough off-road conditions and heavy loads, the damping characteristics are well-suited to daily driving, commuting, and long-distance touring. The adjustable height feature also allows you to optimize ride quality for your typical load, preventing the harsh ride that can occur when running heavy-duty suspension unladen. Many Hilux owners report improved comfort compared to worn factory shocks.
