The Dobinsons IMS Monotube Adjustable Lift Kit is purpose-built for the Toyota Hilux N70 (2005-2015), pairing IFP monotube shock technology with height-adjustable front coilover struts. It delivers a 2" rear lift from raised leaf springs, matched to front coilover struts with a threaded spring seat so you can dial in ride height and damping to suit your load. This is a genuine suspension lift kit upgrade, not a budget spacer solution — it's built for constant towing, touring accessories or tray weight. Dispatched from Australian stock with a Dobinsons warranty and fitment support from our team.

Rear leaf spring choice should match your constant accessory load, not just occasional trip weight. Common items that add constant load include steel or aluminium canopies, dual battery trays, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems and bullbars — tell us your fitted accessories and we'll confirm the correct rear pack. Front coilover height is adjustable independently, so front spring rate stays consistent while ride height is fine-tuned to level the vehicle.
This kit involves leaf spring and shock replacement front and rear, so we recommend an experienced 4WD suspension fitter or a workshop comfortable with leaf spring U-bolt torque specs. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct camber, caster and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the leaf springs and shocks to settle before fine-tuning damping. For vehicles running larger tyres or towing regularly, pairing this kit with upgraded control arm upgrades helps restore correct front geometry.
Dobinsons has developed suspension for Australian conditions for decades, and the IMS monotube range is built specifically around IFP shock internals for consistent damping under load. Kits are backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty and are commonly fitted to tourers, tradespeople and Hilux owners running canopies or camper trailers. You can view the full Dobinsons range to compare this kit against other N70 options.
This kit suits Hilux N70 owners who tow regularly, carry a canopy or tray load, or want a height-adjustable front end for mixed on-road and off-road driving. Tradespeople running constant tool or equipment weight, and tourers fitting drawers, water tanks or rooftop tents, will get the most from the height-adjustable front struts and rated rear springs. If your load varies significantly trip to trip, also compare our airbag suspension options for load-levelling flexibility.

Yes, this Dobinsons IMS kit is specified for the Toyota Hilux N70 built between 2005 and 2015, covering both diesel and petrol variants. It's designed around the factory front coilover strut and rear leaf spring mounting points, so no chassis modification is required. If you have a dual-cab, extra-cab or single-cab N70 and aren't sure of your exact build date, our team can confirm fitment before you order.
This kit provides a 2" rear lift from the raised leaf springs, with front ride height independently adjustable via the coilover strut's threaded spring seat. That means you can level the vehicle front to rear rather than being locked into a fixed lift height. Actual ride height also depends on the accessories and load fitted to your vehicle.
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 adjustable front coilover struts, 2 rear monotube shock absorbers, 2 raised rear leaf springs, plus U-bolts, leaf spring bushes and mounting hardware. Upper control arms and steering dampers are not included and are sold separately. A full itemised list is shown in the Kit Includes section above.
Yes, the rear leaf springs and monotube shocks in this kit are suited to constant accessory loads such as canopies, drawers and tow ball weight, which is common in towing setups. The rated rear leaf springs are matched to constant tow ball and accessory weight, keeping the rear controlled when towing. Tell us your typical towing weight and we can confirm the correct rear spring pack.
It's not compulsory, but it's worth considering. Lifting the front end changes control arm geometry and can reduce down-travel and CV joint angles on the N70. Pairing this kit with upgraded control arms typically restores correct camber and caster range at the new ride height — see our control arm options for N70-specific parts.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Changing ride height alters camber, caster and toe, and an incorrect alignment will cause uneven tyre wear and affect steering feel. We recommend an alignment immediately after fitting and again after the 500km bedding-in period.
Yes, rear leaf springs in this kit are available in different load ratings to suit your constant accessory load, from a lightly accessorised tray back to a heavier canopy and drawer setup. Front coilover height is separately adjustable regardless of spring rate. Contact our team with your accessory list and we'll recommend the right rear pack.
A 2" rear lift with matched front height generally improves clearance for larger tyre diameters on the N70, but final tyre fitment depends on wheel offset and width as well. We recommend confirming your target tyre size with our team before ordering so we can advise on any additional clearance needed. Correct wheel alignment after fitting is essential regardless of tyre size.
This kit is covered by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. Warranty terms apply to the shocks, springs and included hardware supplied in the kit. Contact our team for the specific warranty period and claims process if you need it.
Yes, the IFP monotube shocks are tuned to stay controlled both unladen and under touring loads, and the rated rear springs support constant accessory weight. Many N70 owners run this kit as their everyday setup while retaining the ability to adjust for towing or touring trips. On-road ride quality depends on the rear spring rate selected to suit your accessory load.
