The Dobinsons IMS 2" Lift Kit delivers a 2" lift for the Toyota Landcruiser 100 Series IFS (1998-2007) using Independent Monotube Shock technology front and rear plus load-matched raised coil springs. Monotube construction separates oil and gas into a single chamber, giving more consistent damping on long touring runs than a standard twin-tube unit. Coil springs are available in load-specific rates so the kit can be matched to constant accessory weight — bull bars, winches, drawers and long-range tanks all change what spring rate you need. Backed by manufacturer warranty and dispatched from Australian stock, with our lift kit specialists on hand for fitment advice.

Choose your front and rear spring rate based on constant accessory weight, not just occasional payload. Front accessories like steel bull bars, winches and driving light bars add constant load that a standard-rate coil isn't designed for, so a heavier front spring rate keeps ride height correct over time. Rear accessories such as dual battery trays, drawer systems, water tanks and long-range fuel tanks work the same way on the rear coils — tell us what's fitted or planned and we'll match the spring rate.
Fitment is a bolt-on job for an experienced 4WD workshop or a confident DIY installer with a spring compressor and standard hand tools. Wheel alignment is mandatory once the kit is fitted, since ride height and castor angle change at 2" of lift. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the new springs and shocks to settle before a final alignment check. Because IFS geometry shifts at this height, we recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct castor and reduce CV joint angle.
Dobinsons has been designing and manufacturing 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, with local valving and spring rates built around Australian roads, tracks and accessory loads. This kit carries Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and is specified for touring and towing use rather than road-only driving. Trades and tourers running 100 Series Cruisers across the country rely on the brand — view the full Dobinsons range for matching components.
This kit suits 100 Series owners planning fitted accessories, remote touring or trailer and caravan towing who need correct ride height under constant load. Tradespeople carrying tools and gear, and tourers running camper trailers, get the most from load-specific springs matched to their setup. If your load varies significantly trip to trip, also look at airbag suspension to fine-tune rear height on demand.

This Dobinsons IMS 2" Lift Kit is built specifically for the 100 Series Landcruiser IFS platform produced from 1998 to 2007. It covers both petrol variants (4.5L 1FZ-FE and 4.7L 2UZ-FE) and the 4.2L 1HD-FTE turbo diesel. If you're unsure which coil and shock spec your build year needs, our team can confirm fitment against your VIN or compliance plate. You can also check compatible parts through our Landcruiser 100 Series parts finder before ordering.
This kit delivers a 2" lift front and rear on the 100 Series IFS platform, achieved through Dobinsons raised coil springs and matched monotube shock absorbers. The exact ride height also depends on the coil spring rate fitted, which we set based on your constant accessory load. A heavier front or rear rate for bull bars, winches or drawers will sit slightly differently than a standard-rate coil at the same nominal lift. Talk to us about your accessory list so we can confirm the resulting ride height.
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 x Dobinsons IMS monotube front shock absorbers and 2 x rear shock absorbers, plus 2 x front and 2 x rear raised coil springs in your selected load rate. Mounting hardware and spring isolators are included where the 100 Series IFS platform requires them. Fitting instructions are supplied with the kit. Upper and lower control arms are not included and are sold separately if you need them.
Yes, provided the coil spring rate is matched to your combined accessory and tow ball weight. The 100 Series carries genuine touring and towing setups well when the rear spring rate is specified correctly rather than left at a generic standard rate. If your tow ball weight varies a lot between trips, ask us about combining this kit with airbag suspension for adjustable rear support. Tell us your caravan or trailer's tow ball mass and we'll recommend a rear spring rate.
Upgraded control arms aren't mandatory to fit this kit, but they're recommended at 2" of lift on the 100 Series IFS front end. Standard control arms can run out of adjustment for castor correction once ride height increases, which affects steering feel and CV joint angle. Aftermarket adjustable control arms restore correct geometry and reduce driveline wear at height. We stock a range of control arms suited to this platform if you want to fit them at the same time.
Yes, a full wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Ride height and castor angle both change at 2" of lift, and running the vehicle without a fresh alignment leads to uneven tyre wear and vague steering. We recommend booking the alignment after the 500km bed-in period so the new springs and shocks have settled. This also lets your alignment technician assess whether adjustable control arms are needed for full castor correction.
Yes, Dobinsons offers this kit with load-specific front and rear coil spring rates rather than a single fixed rate. The right rate depends on your constant accessory weight — bull bars, winches, drawer systems, long-range tanks and dual battery trays all add load. Tell our team what's fitted or planned on your 100 Series and we'll recommend the matching spring rate before you order. Getting this right keeps ride height correct and avoids premature sag.
A 2" lift on the 100 Series typically creates clearance for a moderately larger tyre than standard, though the exact size depends on your wheel offset, tray or tub fitment, and whether flares or trimming are needed. Most owners running this kit fit larger all-terrain or mud-terrain tyres without major bodywork changes. We recommend confirming your target tyre size with our team before ordering so we can flag any clearance issues specific to your setup. Pairing the lift with correctly speced control arms also helps maintain clearance through full steering lock.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, which applies to the shock absorbers and coil springs supplied in the kit. Warranty claims are handled through us as your Australian supplier, so you're not dealing with an overseas distributor. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase and installation date for any future claim. Contact our team directly if you have a warranty question on this kit.
Yes, the Dobinsons IMS monotube shocks and load-matched coil springs are designed to keep a comfortable on-road ride at the lifted height, not just perform off-road. Many 100 Series owners run this kit as their everyday setup while still towing or touring on weekends. Selecting the correct spring rate for your actual accessory load is what keeps the daily ride comfortable rather than firm or bouncy. If your 100 Series is unloaded most of the time, tell us so we can recommend the appropriate lighter spring rate.
