The Dobinsons Monotube 4" Front Lift Kit suits the Toyota Hilux N80 (2015-ON) and pairs monotube front shock absorbers with matched 4" raised coil springs for a genuine front-end lift. Monotube construction runs a single internal piston bore that dissipates heat faster than twin-tube designs, cutting fade on long corrugated runs and steep climbs. This pre-matched front kit is drawn from Dobinsons' full coil springs range so ride height stays consistent under bull bars and winches. In stock in Australia with 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.
Front coil spring rate should be matched to what your Hilux N80 carries at the front axle day to day, not just the heaviest load you occasionally tow. Front-mounted accessories that affect spring selection include steel bull bars, winches, driving light bars, and heavier aftermarket bumpers. If your front end is fitted with a winch bar and lights, tell our team so we can confirm the standard spring rate is still appropriate at this lift height.
This front kit is supplied pre-assembled and is suited to an experienced DIY fitter or a workshop familiar with coil-over strut assemblies. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct castor and camber at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the coil springs to settle before a final alignment check. Because a 4" front lift changes front-end geometry, we recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore correct CV joint and control arm angles.
Dobinsons designs and tests its suspension in Australia, working directly with 4WD owners running tourers, tradie utes and tow vehicles across the country. This kit carries a manufacturer warranty and is backed by our fitment support team here at 4WD Suspension. Explore the rest of the Dobinsons suspension range for matching rear kits, torsion bars and steering dampers.
This kit suits Hilux N80 owners fitting a bull bar, winch and lights who need front-end clearance and load control to match. It's a solid fit for weekend tourers wanting a 4" front lift for tyre clearance and tradespeople running canopies or service bodies. If your tray or canopy load varies significantly trip to trip, ask us about airbag suspension to complement this front kit at the rear.

Yes, this Dobinsons Monotube front kit is built specifically for the Toyota Hilux N80 produced from 2015 onward, covering Workmate, SR, SR5 and Rogue variants. It suits both the 2.4L 2GD-FTV and 2.8L 1GD-FTV diesel engines fitted to the N80 range. If you're unsure of your exact model or build date, our team can confirm fitment before you order. You can also check compatible parts using our N80 parts finder.
This kit delivers a 4" front lift using Dobinsons' matched raised coil springs paired with monotube front shock absorbers. The lift is achieved at the front axle only, so a matching rear kit or rear leaf springs are needed to level the vehicle front to rear. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on your vehicle's existing front-end load, such as a bull bar or winch. Our team can advise on expected height for your specific setup.
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 Monotube front shock absorbers and 2 x Dobinsons 4" raised front coil springs, along with the mounting bushes, sleeves and hardware needed for the front strut assembly. Fitting instructions are included from Dobinsons. Rear leaf springs, rear shocks and upper control arms are not included and are available separately through our store.
This front kit improves front-end load control, which helps when towing a trailer or caravan that shifts weight onto the tow ball and front axle under braking. For consistent towing performance you should also review your rear spring rate and consider a matched rear kit or leaf springs rated for your typical towing load. Our team can help you select a rear spring rate that suits your tow setup.
At a 4" front lift, factory control arms often run at a compromised angle that can affect CV joint life and steering geometry. We recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore correct alignment angles and improve ball joint articulation. This isn't compulsory to run the kit, but it's a common upgrade paired with 4" front lift kits on the N80. Ask our team for control arm options that suit this lift height.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit because the new ride height changes front castor and camber angles. We recommend an initial alignment straight after fitting, then a follow-up check after a 500km bed-in period once the coil springs have settled. Skipping alignment can lead to uneven tyre wear and affect steering feel. This applies whether you fit the kit yourself or have it installed by a workshop.
Front spring rate for this kit is matched to typical N80 front-end loads, including common accessories like bull bars, winches and light bars. If your front end carries heavier accessories than standard, our team can check whether the standard rate is still appropriate or recommend an alternative. Rear spring rate is selected separately when you choose a matching rear kit, based on your rear accessory and touring load. Contact us with your accessory list for tailored advice.
A 4" front lift on the Hilux N80 creates noticeably more clearance in the front wheel arches, which typically allows for a larger tyre diameter than stock. Exact tyre clearance depends on your wheel offset, tyre width and whether any minor bodywork trimming is done. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering wheels and tyres. Rear clearance will depend on the rear kit or springs fitted alongside this front lift.
This Dobinsons Monotube 4" Front Lift Kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. As an Australian stockist, our team handles warranty support locally rather than requiring you to deal directly with an overseas supplier. Keep your proof of purchase and follow the recommended alignment and bed-in steps to maintain warranty cover. Contact us directly if you have any warranty questions after fitting.
Yes, this kit is designed to balance everyday on-road comfort with off-road capability, using monotube shocks tuned for a controlled ride rather than a harsh, off-road-only setup. Many Hilux N80 owners run this front kit as their daily driver while towing or touring on weekends. Ride comfort will depend on matching the correct spring rate to your typical front-end load. Our team can advise on the best setup for mixed daily and off-road use.
