This kit is engineered for standard to moderately loaded N70 Hilux applications. For optimal ride quality and handling, consider your constant accessory weight when selecting spring rates. Common front accessories include steel bullbars (30-60kg), winches (30-40kg), upgraded batteries, and long-range fuel tanks. Rear constant loads include steel canopies (80-150kg), dual battery systems, water tanks, drawer systems, and roof-top tents. If your total constant load exceeds 150kg front or 300kg rear, contact our team to discuss custom spring rate options for your specific configuration.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD workshop or experienced DIY mechanic is recommended. This is a comprehensive suspension replacement requiring fabrication tools, spring compressors, and torque wrenches. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to set correct castor, camber, and toe settings — preventing premature tyre wear and ensuring optimal handling. Allow 500km break-in period for springs to settle and bushings to bed in before making final shock adjustments. For maximum front-end travel and geometry correction on lifted N70 models, consider pairing this kit with extended travel control arms and upgraded tie rod ends.
Dobinsons has been engineering Australian 4WD suspension since 1953, earning a reputation for bulletproof durability across outback expeditions, mine sites, and competitive motorsport. Every Dobinsons product undergoes rigorous Australian outback testing on corrugations, sand, rock, and mud to ensure real-world performance. Trusted by grey nomads, tradies, and serious tourers nationwide, Dobinsons backs their products with comprehensive warranty and unmatched technical support. Explore the complete Dobinsons suspension range for complementary steering dampers, bushings, and accessories.
This kit is ideal for serious tourers covering long-distance outback travel, tradespeople requiring increased payload capacity and daily durability, and weekend warriors tackling challenging 4WD tracks. If you regularly tow caravans or camper trailers, the heavy-duty leaf springs eliminate rear sag while the adjustable shocks maintain control under load. For those carrying extreme constant rear weight, consider supplementing with airbag suspension systems to fine-tune ride height and load support on demand while preserving the Dobinsons monotube damping performance.

This kit is specifically engineered for all Toyota Hilux N70 models manufactured between 2005 and 2015, including all cab configurations (single cab, extra cab, dual cab) and both 2WD and 4WD variants across GGN, KUN, and TGN series codes. The kit includes all necessary components including diff drop and upper control arms to ensure correct fitment and geometry. If you have aftermarket modifications or are unsure about your specific model year, check our N70 parts finder or contact our team for confirmation before ordering.
This kit delivers a genuine 4 inch (100mm) lift across both front and rear axles when installed correctly. The front lift is achieved through Dobinsons heavy-duty coil springs with preload adjustability, allowing fine-tuning based on accessory weight. The rear lift comes from re-arched leaf springs designed to maintain this height even under moderate constant loads. Actual installed height can vary by 10-15mm depending on vehicle weight, accessory configuration, and spring settling after the initial 500km break-in period.
This is a comprehensive suspension replacement kit including 4 x Dobinsons MRA monotube shock absorbers (adjustable fronts and rears), 2 x front coil springs with preload adjustment, 2 x heavy-duty rear leaf springs, front upper control arms, diff drop kit, polyurethane bush kit, greasable shackles and pins, and all necessary U-bolts and mounting hardware. Everything required for a complete front and rear suspension transformation is included. You will need to arrange wheel alignment separately after installation, and we recommend budgeting for new shock bushings if your vehicle has high kilometres.
Absolutely — this kit is specifically engineered for heavy towing applications up to 3500kg. The heavy-duty rear leaf springs eliminate sag when towing caravans, camper trailers, or loaded box trailers, while the MRA adjustable shocks allow you to increase compression damping for improved control and reduced rear-end squat under tow ball weight. The 3-way adjustment means you can set firmer damping for towing days and return to comfortable settings for unladen daily driving. For extreme tow ball loads or variable weight requirements, consider adding airbag suspension for on-demand load support adjustment.
Yes — upgraded front upper control arms are included in this kit and are essential for maintaining correct wheel alignment and suspension geometry at 4 inches of lift. The extended control arms correct castor angle and prevent excessive CV joint angles that would otherwise cause accelerated wear and poor handling. The included diff drop kit further corrects driveline angles to prevent vibration and CV boot damage. These geometry correction components are non-negotiable for safe, reliable operation at this lift height and are why they're included as standard in this complete Dobinsons package.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, and this 4 inch system is no exception. The alignment technician will need to set castor, camber, and toe angles to manufacturer specifications using the new control arm adjustment range. Skipping alignment will result in premature and uneven tyre wear, wandering steering, and compromised handling. Book your alignment with a workshop experienced in lifted 4WDs who understand the specific requirements of N70 Hilux suspension geometry and can properly utilise the adjustment range in the Dobinsons upper control arms.
This kit is supplied with Dobinsons' recommended spring rates for standard to moderate constant loads typical of most N70 Hilux touring and work applications. The front coils include preload adjustment to fine-tune ride height based on accessory weight like bullbars and winches. If you carry unusually heavy constant loads (heavy steel canopy, slide-on camper, extensive drawer systems), contact our team before ordering to discuss whether custom spring rates would better suit your specific application. We can help calculate your constant accessory weight and recommend appropriate spring upgrades if needed.
With 4 inches of lift, most N70 Hilux models will comfortably accommodate up to 33 inch tyres (285/75R16 or similar) without rubbing during normal articulation, though minor trimming of mudflaps or bumper tabs may be required depending on wheel offset and tyre brand. Some owners successfully run 35s with additional trimming, but this may require further modifications like wheel spacers or aftermarket guards. Tyre fitment also depends on wheel offset, backspacing, and suspension articulation — test fit and check clearance at full lock and full compression before committing to new wheels and tyres.
Dobinsons backs this MRA Monotube kit with a comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Shock absorbers typically carry warranty against leaking and structural failure, while springs are covered against breakage and sagging beyond specified tolerances. Warranty terms require professional installation, appropriate vehicle application, and normal use conditions. Keep your installation invoice and contact us or Dobinsons directly if you experience any issues. With over 70 years of Australian engineering heritage, Dobinsons stands behind their products and has an excellent reputation for warranty support when genuine issues arise.
Yes — one of the key advantages of Dobinsons MRA Monotube technology is exceptional on-road comfort and control despite the aggressive off-road capability. The 3-way adjustable damping allows you to dial in a compliant, comfortable ride for daily commuting and highway travel, then firm up compression and rebound when heading off-road or towing. The advanced piston design and monotube construction deliver smooth, fade-free damping across all speeds and conditions. Thousands of N70 Hilux owners run this exact kit as daily drivers across Australia, enjoying comfortable sealed road manners without sacrificing off-road performance when the weekend arrives.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
Fitted this Dobinsons 4-inch kit to our 2012 Hilux about three months ago and it's been brilliant for our monthly camping trips down the coast and out to the High Country. The ride quality is noticeably smoother even with the camper trailer loaded up, and the kids actually comment on how much less they're getting bounced around on corrugated tracks. Installation was straightforward and the local mechanic said the fitment was spot on. Well worth the investment for anyone serious about taking the family off the beaten track.(5)
Best upgrade for my work Hilux
Been running this Dobinsons 4 inch lift kit on my 2012 Hilux for about six months now and it's been brilliant for carrying tools and gear without the rear sagging. Ride quality is noticeably better than the old setup, even when loaded up with ladders and equipment. Took it down some rough tracks on the weekend and the monotube shocks handled everything without any dramas.(5)
Brilliant Setup for Remote Simpson Desert Runs
Been running this Dobinsons monotube kit on my N70 for the past 18 months, covering everything from the Canning Stock Route to Cape York's wet season tracks. The 4-inch lift gives perfect clearance for ruts and washouts without feeling top-heavy on corrugations. Ride quality loaded up with 200kg of recovery gear and water is genuinely impressive – way better than the old gas shocks I had before.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
Fitted this 4-inch Dobinsons monotube kit to our N70 Hilux before our trip down the Cape York Development Road and it handled the corrugations brilliantly with the camper trailer fully loaded. The kids actually slept in the back on the way home instead of complaining about being bounced around! Well worth the investment for anyone doing regular touring with the family, and the blokes at 4WD Suspension Australia had it dispatched within two days.(5)
Best upgrade I've done to the Hilux
Been running the Dobinsons 4 inch lift kit on my N70 for about six months now, carting tools and materials around work sites daily plus weekend trips down to the coast. The ride quality is miles better than the old setup, even when I'm loaded up with a tonne of gear in the tray. Fitment was spot on and haven't had a single issue since install.(5)
