Selecting the correct spring rate is critical to achieving optimal ride quality and avoiding damage to suspension components. When ordering, choose spring rates based only on your constant accessory load — the combined weight of permanently fitted accessories including bull bars, winches, roof racks, canopies, drawer systems, dual batteries, long-range fuel tanks, and rear bar replacements. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, water tanks, and towing loads should not be included in spring rate calculations. Over-specifying spring rates results in harsh ride quality, accelerated bushing wear, and potential damage to other suspension components. If you regularly tow heavy caravans or carry significant variable loads, consider pairing this kit with airbag suspension for adjustable rear support.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety compliance. A complete wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent uneven tyre wear and maintain steering geometry. All Dobinsons suspension kits require a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle and dampers will bed in — expect ride height to settle 5-10mm during this period. Depending on your vehicle's age and usage, consider pairing this lift kit with upgraded control arms and replacement bushings to restore factory handling and maximize the performance of your new suspension system.
Dobinsons has been engineering Australian suspension solutions since 1953, with every product subjected to rigorous outback testing across the harshest conditions Australia can deliver. Trusted by touring families, grey nomads, and commercial operators, Dobinsons suspension is backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and a reputation for delivering real-world performance where it matters most. Explore the complete Dobinsons suspension range for complementary steering dampers, swaybar links, and bushings to complete your Pajero upgrade.
This IMS lift kit is ideal for Pajero owners who demand serious touring capability, regular towing performance, and the ability to tackle remote tracks without sacrificing daily driving comfort. Whether you're a grey nomad crossing the Nullarbor with a caravan, a tradesperson carrying constant heavy loads, or a weekend adventurer exploring High Country trails, this kit delivers the balance of load capacity, ride quality, and durability required for Australian 4WD life. For those carrying highly variable loads or frequently towing heavy vans, consider adding rear airbag suspension for on-demand load support and level towing stance.

This Dobinsons IMS lift kit is specifically engineered to fit Mitsubishi Pajero models NM (2000-2002), NP (2002-2006), NS (2006-2011), NT (2011-2015), and NW (2015-2021) series. The kit includes front struts, rear shocks, and matched coil springs designed for the independent front suspension and coil-sprung rear of these Pajero generations. If you're unsure about your exact model year or variant, check your VIN plate or contact our team for confirmation before ordering.
This Dobinsons IMS kit provides approximately 40mm (1.6 inches) of lift height at both the front and rear when measured from standard unladen ride height. Actual installed height will vary based on your selected spring rate, the weight of constant accessories fitted to your vehicle, and whether your existing suspension has sagged below original specifications. After the initial 500km break-in period, expect springs to settle by 5-10mm as they reach their optimized working height.
The complete kit includes 2 x Dobinsons IMS monotube front struts, 2 x Dobinsons IMS monotube rear shock absorbers, 2 x 40mm raised front coil springs, and 2 x 40mm raised rear coil springs. All springs are available in multiple load ratings to suit your vehicle's accessory setup. The kit does not include upper control arms, extended brake lines, diff drop components, or installation hardware — these items are sold separately as required for your specific application.
Yes, this IMS kit is well-suited for towing applications when paired with correctly selected rear spring rates that account for towbar weight and constant rear accessories. The monotube shock design provides superior damping control under load, reducing rear squat and maintaining stable handling when towing caravans or trailers. For maximum towing versatility and the ability to adjust for variable loads, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear — airbags allow you to fine-tune rear height and support based on tow ball weight and cargo.
While not strictly mandatory for a 40mm lift, upgraded aftermarket control arms are highly recommended if your Pajero's original arms are worn or if you're seeking maximum suspension performance and geometry correction. Adjustable upper control arms allow you to restore correct castor and camber angles after lifting, improving steering feel, reducing tyre wear, and optimizing handling. If your vehicle has over 100,000km or shows signs of bushing wear, this is an ideal time to replace control arms and related components.
Yes, a professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any suspension lift kit. Lifting your Pajero changes the suspension geometry, affecting camber, castor, and toe angles — driving without proper alignment will result in rapid and uneven tyre wear, poor handling, and potential safety issues. Ensure your alignment is performed by a qualified suspension specialist using the correct specifications for a lifted vehicle, and allow the 500km break-in period before final alignment adjustment.
Spring rates should be selected based solely on your constant accessory load — the combined weight of permanently fitted equipment such as bull bars, winches, roof racks, rear bars, canopies, drawer systems, dual batteries, and long-range fuel tanks. Do not include occasional loads like passengers, camping gear, water, or towing in your calculation, as this will result in overly stiff springs and harsh ride quality. If you're unsure of your total accessory weight, contact our team for load calculation assistance and spring rate recommendations specific to your setup.
A 40mm lift on the Mitsubishi Pajero typically allows fitment of tyres up to approximately 265/70R17 or 265/75R16 (depending on wheel offset and model year) without modifications. Larger tyres may require additional trimming, body mount chop, or aftermarket control arms to achieve full steering lock without rubbing. Always test-fit tyres at full suspension compression and steering lock before committing to a tyre size, and consider that larger, heavier tyres may require recalibration of your speedometer and can affect braking and fuel economy.
Dobinsons suspension products are backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms vary by component type — shock absorbers and struts typically carry warranty protection, while coil springs are covered under separate warranty conditions. Warranty coverage requires professional installation, proper maintenance, and use within rated load capacities. Retain your proof of purchase and installation records, and contact us directly if you experience any product issues during the warranty period.
Absolutely — the Dobinsons IMS lift kit is designed to balance serious off-road capability with excellent on-road manners, making it ideal for Pajeros that serve dual duty as daily drivers and weekend tourers. The monotube shock design and properly matched coil springs deliver compliant ride quality over city roads and highways while providing the control and durability needed for corrugated tracks and remote touring. Many owners report improved ride quality compared to worn factory suspension, particularly when springs are correctly matched to accessory load.
Perfect for Our Family Camping Adventures
Fitted this Dobinsons 40mm lift kit to our NP Pajero about six months ago and it's been brilliant for our monthly trips down to the High Country. The ride quality is noticeably better than the old worn shocks, especially when we're loaded up with the camper trailer and all the kids' gear. Really happy with how it handles corrugated roads now – much more comfortable for the whole family on those long drives to our favourite camping spots.(5)
Perfect upgrade for our Pajero NW
Had this Dobinsons 40mm lift kit fitted to our 2005 Pajero NW about six months ago and it's been brilliant for our regular Cape York trips. The ride quality is noticeably better than the old worn factory setup, even when loaded up with camping gear and water. Fitment was spot on and the monotube struts handle corrugations way better than expected.(5)
Great quality kit, excellent advice from the team
After years on worn stock suspension I finally bit the bullet and ordered the Dobinsons IMS kit for my NS Pajero. Called the team before ordering and they walked me through the spring rate options based on my constant load (long-range tank, rear bar, and dual battery). Installation was straightforward for my mechanic and the wheel alignment after settled everything in nicely. After the 500km break-in period the ride height is sitting exactly where I expected and the on-road comfort is genuinely better than factory. Solid Australian-made product backed by people who actually know their stuff. Five stars without hesitation.(5)
Transforms the Pajero completely — couldn't be hap
Just had the Dobinsons IMS 40mm lift kit fitted to my NW Pajero and the difference is night and day. I went with the 250kg rear spring rate to account for my bull bar, roof rack, and drawer system, and the ride is incredibly well-balanced — firm enough to handle the load without being harsh on the highway. Took it out on some corrugated tracks in the high country last weekend and the monotube shocks handled it brilliantly with zero wallowing. 4WD Suspension had it in stock, shipped fast, and their team helped me nail the right spring rate for my setup. Highly recommend this kit to any Pajero owner looking to lift and load properly.(5)
