The Dobinsons IMS Monotube 2" Front Lift Kit fits the Toyota Prado 150 Series (2009-on) with independent front suspension, using monotube strut assemblies to deliver a 2" lift and firmer, more fade-resistant damping than the factory twin-tube units. Each strut runs genuine Fuchs hydraulic oil and an adjustable spring perch, so you can fine-tune ride height for bull bars, winches and touring gear. Check all suspension parts for the Prado 150 to match rear springs and shocks to your load. In stock in Australia now, backed by Dobinsons manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our suspension team.

This kit uses a fixed-rate front strut with an adjustable spring perch, so front ride height is set by perch position rather than swapping springs. If you run a heavy bull bar, winch and driving lights, set the perch toward the top of the 2" range to offset the added front weight. For the rear, match your spring choice to constant load such as a dual battery tray, water tank, drawer system or canopy, plus your typical tow ball download.
Fitting is a bolt-in job for an experienced DIY installer with the right tools, though we recommend a qualified 4WD suspension workshop for correct strut torque and preload setting. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring camber and toe back within specification at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for seals and bushes to settle before fine-tuning perch height. If you're lifting further or carrying heavier front accessories long-term, pair this kit with upgraded control arms to correct CV and control arm angles.
Dobinsons designs and valves its suspension in-house for Australian vehicle weights, accessory loads and road surfaces rather than adapting a generic overseas tune. The IMS monotube range is built with genuine Fuchs oil and heavy-duty seals for consistent damping under sustained corrugations and touring loads. Every kit is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty — view the full Dobinsons range for matching rear components.
This kit suits Prado 150 owners fitting a bull bar, winch and driving lights who want the front geometry and clearance to match, along with tourers running rooftop tents or drawer systems. Tradespeople using their Prado for site access and light towing get a firmer, more controlled front end without harshness unladen. For rear load carrying beyond standard coil options, our airbag suspension range adds adjustable support for heavier or variable loads.

Yes, the Dobinsons IMS Monotube 2" Front Lift Kit (SKU DIFP150N) is designed for the Toyota Prado 150 Series from 2009 onward, covering both the pre-facelift 3.0L turbo-diesel and 4.0L V6 petrol models and the post-2015 facelift with the 2.8L turbo-diesel. It replaces the factory independent front strut assemblies directly. If you're unsure of your exact build date or variant, check your compliance plate or use our Prado parts finder to confirm fitment before ordering.
This kit provides a 2" front lift (40-45mm) through the Dobinsons IMS monotube strut assemblies. Lift height is set via the adjustable spring perch, so you can fine-tune within that range to suit your accessory load. This kit is front-only; rear lift height depends on the coil springs fitted, which are sold separately. Talk to our team if you want a front and rear combination levelled for your accessory list.
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 two Dobinsons IMS monotube front strut assemblies with genuine Fuchs hydraulic oil, adjustable spring perches, heavy-duty seal kits and dust boots, plus top mount hardware and fitting instructions. Rear shocks and springs are not included and are sold separately. Control arms and steering components are also sold separately. See the full kit contents list on this page for exact quantities.
Yes, this front strut kit supports the added weight of a bull bar and winch without sagging, which keeps front geometry stable when towing. For the rear end, match a Dobinsons coil spring rate to your typical tow ball download so the vehicle sits level under load. We recommend discussing your tow setup with our team so front and rear components are matched correctly.
At a 2" lift, most Prado 150 owners run the factory lower control arms without issue, as CV and control arm angles stay within an acceptable range. If you're combining this front lift with additional rear lift or heavier front accessories, upgraded control arms help correct geometry and reduce bind at full droop. Our team can advise based on your exact lift height and accessory combination.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Raising the front strut height changes camber and toe, and factory alignment settings no longer apply at the new ride height. Have the vehicle aligned by a qualified workshop once the kit is fitted and before extended driving. Skipping this step accelerates tyre wear and affects steering feel.
The front strut in this kit runs a fixed spring rate with adjustable height via the perch, so front spring rate isn't user-selectable. Rear spring rate can be matched separately depending on your accessories, since the Prado 150 runs coil springs at the rear too. Contact our team with your accessory list and we'll recommend the right rear coil spring rate to pair with this front kit.
A 2" front lift typically provides enough additional clearance for up to a 32-33 inch tyre on a Prado 150, depending on width, offset and whether you're also running a rear lift. Guard trimming may still be needed at full lock or full compression with wider tyres. We recommend confirming your exact tyre size and wheel offset with our team before ordering.
This kit is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects in the strut assemblies. As an authorised Dobinsons stockist, we handle warranty claims and fitment support directly through our Australian team. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date on file in case a claim is needed. Contact us if you have any warranty questions before or after fitting.
Yes, the IMS monotube design is set up to stay comfortable unladen while still handling load and off-road use, so it suits Prados that see daily commuting as well as touring. The genuine Fuchs oil fill and heavy-duty seals keep damping consistent over regular use rather than just occasional off-road trips. Many owners run this kit as their only front suspension upgrade for daily driving, touring and light towing.
