Choosing the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and load carrying performance. Your spring rate selection should be based on the constant accessory weight your Hilux carries — not occasional loads. Common front accessories include steel bull bars (25-40kg), winches (30-50kg), steel replacement bumpers, driving lights, and long-range fuel tanks. Rear accessories that affect spring choice include aluminium or steel canopies (60-120kg), drawer systems (40-80kg), dual battery setups, roof racks with rooftop tents, water tanks, and permanent toolboxes. If you regularly tow heavy caravans or trailers but don't carry constant rear weight, consider pairing this kit with airbag suspension for adjustable load support.
This Dobinsons MRA lift kit requires professional installation or experienced DIY fitting with appropriate workshop facilities, spring compressors, and torque tools. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct castor, camber, and toe settings — failure to align will cause premature tyre wear and poor handling. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle and shocks to bed in before making final height and damping adjustments. For lifts over 50mm or when fitting larger tyres, we strongly recommend upgrading to adjustable upper control arms to restore suspension geometry and prevent ball joint binding at full compression.
Dobinsons has been engineering premium 4WD suspension in Australia for over 60 years, with every product tested across the harshest outback conditions from Cape York to the Simpson Desert. Trusted by Australian tourers, tradespeople, mining operations, and emergency services, Dobinsons stands behind their products with comprehensive warranty coverage and local technical support. Explore the complete Dobinsons suspension range including premium shock absorbers, springs, and steering components engineered specifically for Australian conditions.
This adjustable height MRA lift kit is ideal for serious tourers covering long distances with varying loads, tradies who need versatility between empty and loaded driving, and caravan towers requiring precise damping control for towing stability. The 3-way adjustability means you can soften the ride for solo highway cruising, then firm up for corrugated dirt roads or when the tray is loaded with camping gear. If you frequently carry extreme loads or tow near your vehicle's GVM limit, consider combining this kit with adjustable airbag suspension for maximum load support and level ride height under all conditions.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for all Toyota Hilux N70 variants manufactured between 2005 and 2015, including SR, SR5, Workmate models in single cab, extra cab, and dual cab configurations. The kit fits both 2WD and 4WD versions with coil spring front and leaf spring rear suspension. If you have a heavily modified vehicle or are unsure about compatibility with aftermarket accessories, contact our team for confirmation. You can also check our parts finder to see the full range of compatible suspension components for your specific Hilux variant.
This kit provides approximately 40mm (1.6 inches) of rear lift through the replacement leaf springs, while the front lift height is adjustable using the coilover-style shock absorbers. Front lift typically ranges from 30-50mm depending on your accessory load and where you set the adjustable coilover collars. The adjustable front design allows you to level the vehicle perfectly based on bull bar weight, winch, and other front accessories. Total lift height will vary based on spring rate selection and constant accessory weight, so expect 35-45mm average lift once settled with typical touring gear fitted.
This is a comprehensive suspension kit including front and rear shocks, springs, and hardware for complete installation. You receive two Dobinsons MRA Monotube adjustable front shock absorbers, two front coil springs, two coilover adjustment spanners, two MRA Monotube adjustable rear shock absorbers, two 40mm raised rear leaf springs, four heavy-duty U-bolts, and a complete polyurethane bush kit for the rear leaf springs. All mounting hardware and components needed for installation are provided. Upper control arms, brake line extensions, diff drop kits, and extended bump stops are not included and may be required depending on your final lift height and vehicle configuration.
Absolutely — this MRA adjustable kit is excellent for towing applications thanks to the 3-way damping adjustment and heavy-duty spring rates. You can firm up the compression damping when towing to reduce rear squat and improve stability, then soften it for unladen driving comfort. The 40mm raised leaf springs maintain load carrying capacity while the monotube shock design resists fade during long highway hauls. For extreme towing near your vehicle's maximum towing capacity, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear for additional load support and the ability to level the vehicle regardless of towball weight. Many Hilux owners running heavy offroad caravans choose this combination for ultimate versatility.
For the 40mm rear lift provided by this kit, upgraded control arms are not mandatory but are highly recommended for optimal suspension geometry and handling. The adjustable front coilovers typically provide 30-50mm lift, and at the upper end of this range, adjustable upper control arms help restore correct castor angle and prevent ball joint binding. If you plan to fit tyres larger than 32 inches or want the best possible handling and tyre wear characteristics, budget for quality adjustable upper control arms. Our suspension specialists can assess your specific requirements based on your intended use, accessory weight, and tyre size plans during your purchase consultation.
Yes, a professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any suspension lift kit, including this Dobinsons system. Lifting your Hilux changes the suspension geometry angles including castor, camber, and toe settings, which will cause rapid and uneven tyre wear if not corrected. Your alignment technician should set the vehicle to the manufacturer's specifications or slightly increased positive castor for improved high-speed stability. Wait until after the initial 500km break-in period and re-torque all suspension bolts before getting your final alignment, as springs will settle slightly during this period. Keep your alignment receipt for warranty purposes and check alignment annually or after any significant off-road trips.
Yes, Dobinsons offers multiple spring rate options for both front and rear to match your constant accessory weight. When ordering, you'll need to calculate the total weight of permanently fitted accessories like bull bars, winches, canopies, drawer systems, and roof racks. Our team can help you select the appropriate spring codes based on this information — choosing springs too soft will cause sagging, while springs too firm will result in a harsh ride. The springs included in this kit are suited to moderate accessory loads, but heavier spring rates are available for heavily equipped touring or work vehicles. Contact us with your accessory list for a personalised spring rate recommendation before ordering.
This lift kit will typically accommodate tyres up to 32-33 inches in diameter (285/75R16 or 265/75R16) without additional modifications on standard width rims. The 40mm rear lift and 30-50mm adjustable front lift provide clearance for these popular tyre sizes with minimal rubbing at full lock or compression. For larger 33+ inch tyres, you may need additional modifications such as wheel spacers, offset rims, or minor guard trimming depending on your wheel offset and tyre width. Always test fit new tyres and cycle the suspension through full travel at full lock before heading off-road. Remember that larger, heavier tyres will affect your speedo accuracy, gear ratios, and may require recalibration of electronic systems on later model Hilux variants.
This Dobinsons MRA Monotube lift kit is backed by Dobinsons' comprehensive Australian manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Shock absorbers typically carry a limited lifetime warranty for the original purchaser, while springs are covered for the warranty period specified by Dobinsons at time of purchase. Warranty coverage requires professional installation, proof of purchase, and adherence to recommended service intervals including regular inspections and cleaning of shock shafts. The warranty does not cover damage from accidents, modifications, competition use, or failure to maintain correct wheel alignment. Keep all receipts and service records, and register your purchase with Dobinsons for full warranty protection and support from their Australian technical team.
Yes, this Dobinsons MRA kit is specifically designed to deliver excellent on-road comfort for daily driving while providing serious off-road capability when needed. The 3-way adjustable damping allows you to set a softer compression setting for smooth highway cruising over expansion joints and urban roads, then firm it up for spirited driving or rough corrugated tracks. The monotube design runs cooler than twin-tube shocks, maintaining consistent damping during long highway drives and preventing fade on sustained corrugations. Many Hilux owners run this setup as their daily driver to work, then adjust the damping firmer for weekend touring or off-road adventures. The quality of ride is significantly superior to budget lift kits, with well-controlled body movements and minimal harshness over typical road imperfections.
