The Dobinsons Monotube Quick-Lift Adjustable kit suits the Mazda BT50 2012-2020 and pairs pre-assembled IMS monotube front struts with an adjustable spring seat, letting you dial in a 1" to 2" front lift without swapping springs. Rear IMS monotube shocks and extended shackles add up to 2" at the back for improved clearance under load. Monotube construction sheds heat faster than twin-tube designs, holding damping consistent on corrugations and long tows.

Choose your front coil spring and rear leaf setup based on what stays bolted to the truck day to day, not just your heaviest load. A steel bull bar, winch, bash plates and a drawer system all add constant front weight that a standard-rate spring wasn't designed to carry long term. On the rear, a canopy, dual battery tray, water tank or van hitch weight all push you toward a firmer leaf pack. Talk to our team before ordering if you're running heavier accessories so the kit sits level and controlled rather than sagging under constant load.
This kit suits an experienced DIY fitter with the right tools, though we recommend an experienced 4WD workshop given the front struts require torque-to-spec mounting and the adjustable seat needs setting correctly for your accessory load. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting — ride height changes camber and caster and will accelerate tyre wear if left unchecked. Allow a 500km break-in period for the new bushes and shocks to settle before final alignment checks. Pair the kit with upgraded control arm upgrades if you're running the kit at the top of its adjustable range, as this corrects front-end geometry and restores factory-like CV angles.
Dobinsons has built suspension in Australia for decades, developing the IMS monotube shock specifically for local conditions rather than adapting an overseas design. Every kit ships with a manufacturer warranty and is backed by our team's fitment knowledge on the Mazda BT50 platform. See the full Dobinsons range for matching components across your build.
This kit suits BT50 owners who tour with a loaded canopy or camper trailer, tradespeople carrying tools and equipment daily, and drivers wanting adjustable ride height without committing to a fixed lift. If you're running consistently heavy rear loads or towing a van, also look at airbag suspension to add load-levelling support alongside this kit.

Yes, this Dobinsons Monotube Quick-Lift Adjustable kit is built specifically for the Mazda BT50 UP and UR series from 2012 to 2020, covering both 2.2L and 3.2L turbo diesel variants. It is not a universal fit kit — components are matched to this chassis and factory mounting points. If you're unsure which series your BT50 is, our team can confirm fitment from your build plate or rego details before you order.
The front IMS struts use an adjustable spring seat that lets you set the front between 1" and 2" of lift without changing springs. The rear gains up to 2" through the combination of the IMS monotube shocks and extended shackles. Final height depends on the front load you're carrying, such as a bull bar or winch, so we recommend setting the adjustment after your accessories are fitted.
You get 2 pre-assembled Dobinsons IMS Monotube Quick-Lift front struts complete with heavy-duty coil springs, 2 IMS monotube rear shock absorbers, and 2 extended rear shackles. Mounting hardware and bushes for both front and rear are included, along with fitting instructions. Upper and lower control arms are not included and are sold separately if needed.
Yes, the monotube shock design is well suited to towing because it dissipates heat faster than a twin-tube shock, keeping damping more consistent over long distances with a van or trailer on the back. The adjustable front seat and rear shackle lift also help maintain clearance and geometry once a tow ball weight is added. If you tow regularly and carry a heavy constant rear load, ask us about pairing this kit with airbag suspension for extra load support.
It depends on where you set the adjustable front lift. At the upper end of the 2" range, factory control arms can run at a steeper CV angle than they were designed for, which is where upgraded control arms help restore correct geometry. At 1" of lift many BT50 owners run standard arms without issue. Our team can advise based on your chosen ride height and driving use.
Yes, a full wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Changing ride height alters camber and caster, and skipping alignment will cause uneven and accelerated tyre wear. We recommend an initial alignment straight after fitting and a follow-up check after the 500km break-in period once bushes and shocks have settled.
The front coil springs supplied are matched to typical BT50 front accessory loads, but if you're running a heavier bull bar, winch, or bash plates, tell us before ordering so we can confirm the right spring rate for your setup. Rear spring rate is governed by your standard leaf pack combined with the extended shackles, so let us know your typical rear load — canopy, tray, or camper — so the kit sits level rather than sagging.
With the front set toward the 2" end of its adjustable range and the matching rear shackle lift, most BT50 owners gain enough clearance for a modest tyre size increase over standard. Actual clearance depends on wheel offset and width, so check your specific wheel and tyre combination with our team before purchasing new rubber. We can advise realistic tyre sizes based on your chosen ride height.
This kit is covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, backed by our support as your Australian supplier for fitment questions and warranty claims. Keep your proof of purchase and have the kit installed and aligned correctly, as incorrect fitment can affect warranty cover. Contact our team directly if you have any concerns after installation.
Yes, the kit is tuned to balance comfort on the daily commute with control when loaded for touring or towing, rather than being a harsh off-road-only setup. The adjustable front height means you can dial in a setting that suits unladen daily driving and simply adjust when you load up for a trip. Many BT50 owners run this kit as their only suspension setup for both work and weekend use.
