Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality, load support, and suspension longevity on your Mazda BT50. When ordering, choose spring rates based on your constant accessory load only — the weight permanently installed on your vehicle, not occasional loads like camping gear or trailer tongue weight. Common front constant loads include steel bullbars (30-50kg), winches (30-40kg), upgraded batteries, and auxiliary lighting. Rear constant loads typically include drawer systems (50-100kg), dual battery setups, long-range fuel tanks (empty weight), canopies or tub liners, and permanently mounted storage systems. Occasional loads such as camping equipment, passengers, tools, or towing should NOT be factored into spring rate selection, as selecting overly heavy springs will result in harsh ride quality, premature wear on suspension components, and reduced shock absorber effectiveness.
Professional installation by a qualified mechanic or experienced DIY enthusiast with proper equipment is recommended for this lift kit. The pre-assembled front struts significantly reduce installation complexity, but appropriate spring compressors, torque wrenches, and safety equipment remain essential. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure proper steering geometry, even tyre wear, and optimal handling characteristics — failure to align can result in premature tyre wear and compromised vehicle control. A 500-kilometre break-in period is recommended to allow springs to settle and dampers to bed in before final height adjustment and load assessment. For vehicles with significant front-end weight or lift heights exceeding 40mm, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore caster angle and maintain factory steering feel and stability.

This IMS Quick Lift Kit is ideal for Mazda BT50 owners who demand versatility across multiple use cases — weekend touring, daily commuting with constant accessories, and occasional heavy-duty hauling. The height-adjustable front struts particularly benefit drivers who regularly transition between light daily driving and loaded touring configurations, allowing on-the-fly adjustment without suspension modifications. Tradespeople carrying variable equipment loads, caravan towers seeking improved tow vehicle stability, and adventure tourers with rooftop tents and drawer systems will all appreciate the tuneable performance and load support. For BT50 owners who frequently carry maximum payload or tow heavy trailers, consider supplementing this kit with airbag suspension for on-demand load levelling and additional rear support capacity.

This Dobinsons IMS Quick Lift Kit is specifically engineered for Mazda BT50 TF Series models from 2020 onwards, including both 3.0L and 1.9L turbo diesel engine variants. It fits all cab configurations (single, extra, dual cab) and all drivetrain options (4x2 and 4x4). The kit is designed around the current-generation BT50 suspension geometry and will not fit earlier UR/UP series models (2011-2020). If you're unsure about your specific vehicle variant or have made modifications that may affect fitment, our technical team can verify compatibility before purchase.
This kit delivers approximately 30-50mm of adjustable front lift and up to 50mm rear lift, depending on spring rate selection and vehicle load configuration. The unique Quick Lift adjustable front struts allow you to fine-tune front height within this range to perfectly level your BT50 based on bullbar/winch weight and desired stance. Rear lift is achieved through the combination of extended shackles and appropriately rated springs matched to your constant rear load. Final installed height will vary based on accessory weight, with heavier constant loads resulting in less net lift — this is normal and expected behaviour that ensures proper suspension geometry and ride quality.
The complete kit includes two pre-assembled Dobinsons IMS front struts with matched coil springs and integrated height adjustment systems, two IMS monotube rear shock absorbers, two 2-inch extended greasable rear shackles with bushings, and all necessary mounting hardware. The front struts arrive ready to install, significantly reducing installation time compared to separate shock and spring kits. Note that upper control arms, extended brake lines, differential drop kits, and wheel alignment are not included but may be required depending on your specific lift height and vehicle configuration. Our team can advise on any additional components needed for your particular setup.
Yes, this kit significantly improves towing performance compared to factory suspension, particularly when combined with appropriate spring rate selection. The IMS monotube rear shocks maintain consistent damping control under the dynamic loads experienced during towing, reducing squat, sway, and porpoising. The extended rear shackles improve load distribution and provide additional travel for better articulation over uneven terrain while towing off-road. For maximum towing stability and load levelling capability, especially with heavy caravans or trailers approaching your BT50's towing capacity, consider adding airbag suspension to work alongside this lift kit for on-demand rear support adjustment.
Upper control arms are not typically required for lift heights at the lower end of this kit's range (30-35mm), but become increasingly beneficial as you approach 40-50mm of front lift. Upgraded control arms restore proper caster and camber angles, maintaining factory steering feel, stability at highway speeds, and optimal tyre wear patterns. If you're running a heavy bullbar and winch setup, planning maximum height adjustment, or frequently driving at highway speeds, aftermarket control arms are strongly recommended. Our suspension specialists can assess your specific configuration and provide personalised recommendations based on your BT50's intended use and accessory load.
Yes, professional wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, including this Dobinsons IMS system. Lifting your BT50 alters suspension geometry, affecting camber, caster, and toe angles that directly impact steering feel, handling precision, and tyre wear patterns. Even minor geometry changes can cause rapid and uneven tyre wear, wandering at highway speeds, and compromised vehicle control. A qualified alignment technician should perform a full four-wheel alignment using manufacturer specifications adjusted for your new ride height. Plan for alignment costs in your total installation budget, and have alignment rechecked after the recommended 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled.
Absolutely — custom spring rate selection is one of the key advantages of this Dobinsons system. When ordering, you'll specify front and rear spring rates based on your constant accessory load, ensuring optimal ride quality and load support for your particular configuration. Dobinsons offers multiple spring rate options calibrated for different load ranges, from minimal accessories to heavy-duty commercial setups. It's critical to select spring rates based only on permanently installed accessories (bullbars, winches, drawer systems, canopies) and not occasional loads like camping gear or passengers. Our technical team can guide you through the selection process, calculating your constant load and recommending appropriate spring rates for your BT50's specific build.
This lift kit will accommodate moderately larger tyres than factory specification, typically allowing 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 tyres (approximately 31-32 inches diameter) with minimal to no trimming on standard offset wheels. The exact tyre size you can fit depends on your wheel offset, tyre brand (some measure larger than stated size), and suspension articulation during off-road use. More aggressive sizes may require minor plastic trimming, mudflap removal, or aftermarket wheel offsets. The adjustable front height feature allows you to fine-tune clearance based on your chosen tyre size. For specific tyre and wheel combination advice for your BT50, contact our team with your desired specifications and we can provide detailed fitment guidance.

Perfect upgrade for our family camping setup
After fitting this Dobinsons quick lift kit to our BT50, the difference on our monthly trips down to the coast is night and day. The adjustable height struts let me dial it in perfectly for when we're loaded up with the camper trailer and all the kids' gear, and the ride quality is actually better than stock even on corrugated dirt roads. Installation was straightforward enough for a weekend job in the shed, and the rear shackles have given us the extra clearance we needed without going overboard. Couldn't be happier with the value for money on this setup.(5)
Proper Kit for Serious Remote Touring
Fitted this Dobinsons IMS kit to my BT50 before tackling the Canning Stock Route last month and it handled the corrugations and load perfectly. The adjustable height on the front struts meant I could dial it in properly once everything was packed up, and the difference in ride quality over the factory setup is night and day. Remote reservoir shocks are doing exactly what they should even in 40+ degree heat, and the rear shackles have sorted the sag issues I had with my camper setup.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Family Beach and Bush Trips
Fitted this Dobinsons quick lift kit to the BT50 before our Easter camping trip down the coast and couldn't be happier with the difference. The adjustable height struts let me dial it in perfectly whether we're loaded up with camping gear and the boat or running light, and the ride quality is noticeably better than the stock setup on corrugated tracks. Installation was straightforward enough for a weekend job in the shed, and the extended shackles have sorted out the rear sag we used to get with the camper trailer hitched up.(5)
Proper Kit for a Working Truck
Threw this Dobinsons quick lift kit on my BT50 last month and it's been bloody brilliant for hauling tools and gear to site every day. The adjustable height struts are dead easy to set up and the ride quality is miles better than stock, even when I'm loaded up with scaffolding. Took it out to a muddy job site last weekend and the extra clearance made a huge difference getting through the rough stuff.(5)
Perfect Setup for Simpson Desert Runs
Been running this Dobinsons IMS quick lift kit on my BT50 for the last six months through some pretty brutal tracks out Cape York way and across to the Tanami. The adjustable height on the front struts is brilliant for fine-tuning when you're loaded up with long-range tanks and recovery gear, and those remote reservoir shocks have completely transformed how the ute handles corrugations at speed. Honestly can't fault the ride quality - it's firm enough for control but soaks up the big hits way better than the factory setup ever did.(5)
