The Dobinsons IMS Adjustable Lift Kit is purpose-built for the Toyota Hilux N80 (2015-on) and delivers a 2" to 3" adjustable lift using monotube IFP shocks with height-adjustable front coilover struts. Vehicle-specific front coil springs and rear leaf springs let you dial in ride height and load support for touring, towing or daily driving. Pair it with our upgraded control arms for corrected geometry at height, and confirm exact fitment via our Hilux N80 parts finder. In stock in Australia with a manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Lift height compliance: Suspension lifts of this size may exceed your state's allowable limit without engineering certification. Check your state's light vehicle modification rules (VSB14/NCOP) before fitting.
Choose your front and rear spring rate based on the constant accessory weight fitted to your Hilux N80, not just the lift height you want. Common front-end additions include a steel bull bar, winch and driving lights, while rear additions include a canopy, dual battery tray, water tanks, drawers or a caravan tow ball load. Tell our team what's fitted and what's planned so we can match a spring rate that keeps the truck sitting level front and rear, unladen and loaded.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension workshop or a competent DIY installer with the correct tools for spring compression and torque specs. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to reset camber, caster and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the springs and monotube shocks to settle before final assessment of ride height and handling. For correct geometry at 2" to 3" of lift, pair this kit with upgraded control arms to restore factory-correct suspension angles.
Dobinsons has built 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, with local design and testing for Australian roads, tracks and towing conditions. The IMS range uses monotube IFP shock construction with adjustable damping, giving tourers and tradespeople control over ride quality without a full shock swap. Every kit is backed by manufacturer warranty — view the full Dobinsons range for other Hilux N80 suspension options.
This kit suits Hilux N80 owners running a bull bar, winch and canopy who tow regularly and want adjustable damping to handle both an empty tray and a loaded one. It's also a fit for touring owners fitting rooftop tents, drawers and long-range fuel who need constant-load spring support. If your accessory load varies a lot trip to trip, also look at our airbag suspension options to fine-tune rear support on the go.
This Dobinsons IMS kit is in stock in Australia and ready for fast dispatch, with our team on hand to confirm spring rates and fitment for your Hilux N80 before you order. Browse our full lift kit range to compare options for your build.

Yes, this Dobinsons IMS kit is designed specifically for the Toyota Hilux N80 built from 2015 onward, covering SR, SR5, Rogue, Rugged X and Workmate variants. It suits the 2.4L and 2.8L 1GD-FTV diesel, 2.7L 2TR-FE petrol and 4.0L 1GR-FE V6 petrol engines. If you're unsure of your exact build date or variant, our team can confirm fitment before you order using your VIN or compliance plate details.
This kit gives an adjustable 2" to 3" lift, set using the Dobinsons IMS monotube shocks paired with vehicle-specific front coil springs and rear leaf springs. You can choose the height within that range to suit your tyre size, accessory clearance and driving needs. Final ride height will also depend on the constant load carried front and rear, which is why we recommend confirming your accessory list with us first.
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 front and 2 rear Dobinsons IMS adjustable monotube shock absorbers, plus front coil springs and rear leaf springs matched to the N80. It also comes with front strut mount bushes, rear U-bolt kits, rear shackle and bush kits, and all mounting hardware with fitting instructions. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately for correct geometry at the higher ride height.
Yes, the rear leaf springs and adjustable damping in this IMS kit are built to support a loaded canopy, dual battery tray or tow ball weight without sagging. The matched spring and shock rates help control body movement when towing. Tell us your typical towing and accessory load so we can confirm the right spring rate for constant load support.
At 2" to 3" of lift, factory control arms on the Hilux N80 can run out of correct geometry, affecting camber, caster and CV joint angles. We recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore proper alignment range and reduce wear on CV boots and joints. It's not always mandatory at the lower end of the lift range, but it's worth discussing with our team based on your driving style.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this lift kit. Raising the vehicle changes camber, caster and toe angles, and an alignment resets these to factory or corrected specification. Skipping alignment leads to uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel and stability. We suggest booking alignment straight after fitment and again after the 500km bed-in period.
Yes, front coil springs and rear leaf springs for this kit are available in different rates to match your constant accessory load. Heavier bull bars, winches, canopies and dual battery setups all affect the right spring choice. Contact our team with your accessory list and we'll help match a spring rate that keeps your Hilux N80 sitting level, loaded or unladen.
A 2" to 3" lift on the Hilux N80 typically creates clearance for larger tyres than factory, though exact sizing depends on your wheel offset, width and any tray or guard modifications. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering to avoid rubbing at full steering lock or compression. Flares or minor trimming may still be needed for the largest tyre and wheel combinations.
This Dobinsons IMS kit is covered by manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms apply to correctly fitted kits used within the vehicle's rated GVM and towing capacity. Keep your proof of purchase and installation details on hand, and contact our team if you have any warranty questions after fitment.
Yes, the height adjustment on the IMS shocks lets you set a softer damping profile for comfortable daily driving when the vehicle is unladen. You can firm the damping up when towing or carrying a loaded canopy, then back it off for the commute. This adjustability is one of the main reasons Hilux N80 owners choose the IMS kit over a fixed-rate shock.
