Choosing the correct front coil spring rate for your Dobinsons IMS struts comes down to what you're carrying at the front of the BT50 day-to-day, not just what's fitted occasionally. Heavier accessories such as a steel bull bar, winch, dual battery tray or bash plates pull the front end down and need a firmer spring to hold ride height and geometry. Tell our team your combined accessory weight when ordering and we'll match a spring rate suited to that constant load, rather than a generic setting.
We recommend fitting the Dobinsons IMS Quick Lift Kit through an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a competent DIY fitter comfortable working with strut assemblies and leaf shackles. Because this kit changes ride height and shackle geometry, a full wheel alignment is mandatory once the kit is installed, before the vehicle goes back on the road. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the new bushes and shocks to settle before fine-tuning tyre pressures or accessory loads. If you're also correcting geometry at height, pair the kit with upgraded control arms for cleaner CV and steering angles.
Dobinsons has built 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, and the IMS range is engineered and tested locally rather than adapted from a global catalogue. Utes running Dobinsons gear are common with both grey nomads towing vans and tradies carrying gear five days a week, because the same shock has to handle empty runs and loaded runs equally well. Every Dobinsons IMS kit carries the manufacturer's warranty, and you can view the full Dobinsons suspension range for other BT50 upgrades.
This kit suits BT50 owners who need genuine front lift adjustability rather than a single fixed height — tourers running a bull bar and winch, and tradies who load the tray most days. If your BT50 carries a constant heavier load such as a canopy, toolboxes or a slide-on camper, also look at airbag suspension to support the rear leaf springs under sustained weight.
This Dobinsons IMS Quick Lift Kit is in stock in Australia and ready for fast dispatch, backed by manufacturer warranty and fitment advice from our suspension team. Talk to us before you order if you're unsure on spring rate, or browse our full lift kit range for other Mazda BT50 options.

Yes — the Dobinsons IMS Quick Lift Kit (SKU DMABT50N) is designed specifically for Mazda BT50 models built 2020-On, sharing the current-generation Isuzu D-Max based chassis and IFS front end. It is not designed for pre-2020 BT50 models built on the earlier Ford Ranger platform. If you're unsure of your BT50's build date or variant, check your compliance plate or contact our fitment team before ordering. We can confirm compatibility using your VIN or model details.
The front IMS struts are height-adjustable, giving up to 2" of front lift depending on where you set the spring seat. Rear lift comes from the extended greasable shackles, which add height and improve axle travel over the factory setup. Because the front is adjustable rather than fixed, you can wind it back toward standard height or run it at maximum lift depending on your accessory load. Our team can help you set the front height to suit your bull bar and winch combination.
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 adjustable height front struts and 2 x Dobinsons IMS monotube rear shock absorbers, along with 2 x extended greasable shackles for the rear leaf springs. Mounting hardware and bushes are included for a complete front and rear shock/strut change-over. Rear leaf springs are not included in this kit — if you need a higher-rated rear leaf spring for towing or constant load, see our leaf spring range separately. Full fitting instructions are supplied with the kit.
Yes. The monotube IMS rear shocks are built to control load movement rather than just soften bumps, which suits a BT50 towing a van or trailer regularly. Because front spring rates are selectable, you can order a rate matched to your tow ball weight and constant front accessory load rather than a compromise setting. Talk to us about your GVM and towing setup before ordering so we can recommend the right combination.
Not always, but it depends on how much front lift you run. At 2" of front lift, corrected control arms help restore proper CV joint angles and steering geometry, reducing wear on driveline components over time. If you're running the strut closer to standard height, factory control arms may be adequate. Our control arm range can be reviewed with our team once you know your final ride height.
Yes, a full wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit. Changing ride height and shackle geometry alters camber, caster and toe from factory settings. Driving on unaligned suspension after a lift accelerates tyre wear and can affect steering feel. Book an alignment immediately after installation, before extended driving.
Yes. The front IMS struts use a selectable coil spring rate so you can match constant accessory load such as a winch bar, dual battery tray or bash plates. Tell us your combined front accessory weight when ordering so we can recommend the correct spring rate rather than a generic setting. Getting this right keeps front ride height even and stops the nose sagging under constant load.
With up to 2" of front lift and the added rear height from the extended shackles, most BT50 owners gain clearance for a modest tyre size increase over standard. Actual clearance depends on wheel offset, tyre width and whether flares or trimming are needed. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team so we can advise on clearance before you buy tyres.
This Dobinsons IMS Quick Lift Kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, and is sold through 4WD Suspension Australia with local stock and support if an issue arises. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for warranty claims. Contact our team directly if you have a warranty question rather than going through a general retailer.
Yes. The IMS strut and shock valving is set up to give reasonable on-road comfort unladen, not just off-road performance, which suits BT50s used for daily driving and weekend touring. Ride quality firms up slightly compared to standard, particularly if you select a higher spring rate for constant accessory load. If comfort is your main priority, tell us your typical load and accessory weight and we can suggest a spring rate suited to daily use. Contact our team if you want help balancing comfort against towing or touring needs.
