Selecting the correct spring rate is critical to achieving optimal ride height, comfort, and component longevity. When ordering this kit, you must choose spring rates based on your current constant load only — this means accessories and equipment permanently fitted to your vehicle. Common front constant loads include bull bars, winches, aftermarket bumpers, and driving lights. Rear constant loads typically include canopies, ute trays, drawer systems, dual battery setups, and permanently mounted water tanks or toolboxes. Occasional loads such as camping gear, trailers being towed, or passengers should NOT be factored into spring rate selection as this will result in overly stiff springs, harsh ride quality, and potential damage to other suspension components. If you regularly tow or carry heavy loads, consider complementing this lift kit with airbag suspension for adjustable load support.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this lift kit to ensure correct fitment, safety, and warranty compliance. Pre-assembled front struts simplify the installation process compared to traditional component kits, but proper torque specifications and safety procedures must be followed. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent uneven tyre wear and maintain steering precision. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle and dampers to bed in before final ride height assessment. For lifts approaching or exceeding 50mm (2 inches), particularly when running the full 75mm (3 inch) front lift, you should strongly consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct castor angles and maintain factory steering geometry for optimal handling and component longevity.

Explore the complete Dobinsons suspension range to build your ultimate touring setup.
This Monotube Quick Lift Kit is ideal for Toyota Hilux N70 owners who want improved ground clearance, better off-road capability, and the ability to fit larger tyres without the complexity or cost of a full suspension overhaul. It's perfect for recreational four-wheel drivers, weekend campers, and tradespeople who need reliable performance for stock or lightly modified vehicles. If you frequently tow caravans, trailers, or carry heavy payloads, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear for adjustable load support and level ride height under varying conditions. This kit strikes an excellent balance between capability, comfort, and value for daily driving with weekend adventure potential.

This Dobinsons Monotube Quick Lift Kit is specifically engineered to fit all Toyota Hilux N70 series models manufactured between 2005 and 2015, including SR, SR5, and Workmate variants. The kit is designed as a direct replacement for factory suspension components with pre-assembled front struts for straightforward installation. If you're unsure about your exact model year or variant, our team can verify fitment using your VIN or build date. Contact our suspension specialists or use our online parts finder to confirm compatibility before ordering.
This kit delivers 2-3 inches (50-75mm) of front lift through the pre-assembled Dobinsons IMS monotube struts and coil springs, with approximately 1 inch (25mm) of rear lift from the extended heavy-duty shackles. The exact lift height achieved will depend on your selected spring rates, constant accessory load, and current vehicle condition. Final ride height should be measured after the 500km break-in period when springs have fully settled. This lift range provides excellent ground clearance improvement while remaining within reasonable limits for road-registered vehicles in most Australian states, though engineering certification may be required for lifts at the upper end of this range.
This complete kit includes 2 x Dobinsons Monotube IMS front struts that come pre-assembled with Dobinsons coil springs and new strut top mounts, 2 x Dobinsons Monotube IMS rear shock absorbers, and 2 x 2-inch extended heavy-duty greasable rear shackles. The pre-assembled front struts significantly reduce installation time compared to traditional component kits. Please note that some components such as upper control arms, extended brake lines, bump stop extensions, and other hardware may be required for lifts approaching or exceeding 50mm and are sold separately. Spring rates must be selected during ordering based on your vehicle's constant accessory load.
Yes, this kit is suitable for occasional towing when paired with correctly selected spring rates for your constant vehicle load, though it's important to understand that towing itself should not be considered when selecting spring rates during ordering. For regular towing of caravans, trailers, or heavy loads, we strongly recommend adding adjustable airbag suspension to the rear of your Hilux to provide variable load support and maintain level ride height under different loading conditions. The IMS monotube shock absorbers provide excellent damping control for stable towing performance, and the increased ride height improves trailer clearance. Always adhere to your vehicle's maximum towing capacity and ensure proper weight distribution regardless of suspension modifications.
For lifts in the 2-inch (50mm) range, control arm upgrades are generally not mandatory but are beneficial for optimising castor angles and steering geometry. However, if you're running the kit at the full 3-inch (75mm) front lift specification, upgraded or adjustable control arms become strongly recommended to correct castor and maintain proper suspension geometry, preventing accelerated tyre wear and improving steering feel. Extended control arms help restore factory geometry that is altered by increased ride height, improving handling characteristics and component longevity. Our team can advise on the best control arm options for your specific Hilux N70 setup and intended use. Many customers choose to install control arms at the same time as the lift kit to avoid double labour costs.
Yes, a complete four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing this or any suspension lift kit on your Toyota Hilux N70. Changing ride height alters suspension geometry, castor, camber, and toe settings, which directly affect tyre wear, steering precision, and vehicle handling. A qualified alignment technician with 4WD experience should perform the alignment using manufacturer specifications adjusted for the new ride height. Failure to align your vehicle after suspension modifications will result in uneven and accelerated tyre wear, poor steering response, and potentially unsafe handling characteristics. Most reputable suspension installers include wheel alignment as part of their installation service.
Spring rate selection must be based solely on your vehicle's current constant accessory load — permanent equipment that is always fitted to your Hilux N70. For the front, calculate the weight of items like bull bars, winches, aftermarket bumpers, driving lights, and any other permanently mounted accessories. For the rear, include canopies, ute trays, drawer systems, dual battery setups, and permanently fitted water tanks or toolboxes. Do NOT include occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, towing weight, or cargo that varies trip to trip, as this will result in overly stiff springs and harsh ride quality. If you're unsure about your exact accessory weights, our suspension specialists can help you calculate and select appropriate spring rates based on your specific setup.
Yes, this 2-3 inch lift kit will provide clearance for larger diameter tyres compared to factory ride height, though the exact tyre size that fits depends on several factors including wheel offset, tyre width, and whether additional modifications like wheel arch trimming are performed. Most Hilux N70s with this lift can comfortably accommodate tyres in the 265/75R16 to 285/75R16 range without significant rubbing, though wider tyres may require minor trimming or offset adjustments. Always test-fit tyres at full lock and full compression before finalising your wheel and tyre package. Remember that larger, heavier tyres will affect your constant front load and should be factored into spring rate selection if already fitted when ordering this kit.
Dobinsons suspension components are backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage, reflecting the brand's confidence in their Australian-engineered products. Specific warranty terms vary by component type and are subject to proper installation by qualified technicians, correct spring rate selection for your vehicle's load, and normal use conditions. Warranty coverage typically requires proof of purchase and may be voided by incorrect installation, overloading beyond component specifications, or competitive use. We recommend retaining all documentation and having the kit professionally installed by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist to ensure full warranty protection. Contact us for specific warranty details and terms applicable to this kit.
Yes, this Dobinsons Monotube Quick Lift Kit is specifically designed to balance off-road capability with comfortable on-road manners, making it well-suited for daily driving, commuting, and highway touring. The IMS monotube shock absorbers provide controlled damping that manages body roll during cornering while absorbing bumps smoothly on sealed roads. However, please note that any suspension lift will alter your vehicle's centre of gravity and handling characteristics compared to factory specification — lifts at the upper end of this kit's range (75mm/3 inches) will have more noticeable effects on highway stability and should be driven with appropriate caution. When correctly set up with proper spring rates and wheel alignment, this kit delivers excellent all-round performance for vehicles used as daily drivers with weekend adventure capability.
