Selecting the correct coil spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality, load capacity, and suspension performance. You must calculate your constant accessory load — the combined weight of all permanently installed accessories and equipment that your vehicle carries at all times. Do not factor in occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, towing, or cargo that varies trip-to-trip, as this will result in selecting springs that are too heavy, causing harsh ride quality and potential damage to other suspension components.
Common Front Constant Loads: Steel bull bar (30-60kg), winch (30-40kg), driving lights (2-5kg), heavy-duty battery (5-15kg), aftermarket intercooler (10-15kg), steel bash plates (15-25kg), air compressor (5-10kg).
Common Rear Constant Loads: Aluminium or steel canopy/hard lid (50-100kg), drawer systems (40-80kg), dual battery system (15-25kg), long-range fuel tank (empty weight 20-40kg), rear bar (20-40kg), spare wheel carrier upgrade (10-20kg), water tank (empty 10-20kg).
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended due to the technical nature of coil spring compression, shock absorber mounting, and precise damping adjustment setup. Installation typically requires 4-6 hours depending on workshop experience and equipment availability. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct camber, caster, and toe settings, preventing uneven tyre wear and maintaining safe handling characteristics. A 500-kilometer break-in period is essential to allow springs to settle and dampers to bed in before making final damping adjustments.
For vehicles with significant lift or heavy accessory loads, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore proper suspension geometry, improve CV joint angles, and enhance steering response and stability at highway speeds.

This Dobinsons MRA kit delivers between 2-3 inches (50-75mm) of lift height depending on your constant accessory load and selected spring rates. Vehicles with heavier front-end accessories (bull bar, winch, heavy-duty battery) will typically achieve lift closer to the 2-inch mark, while lighter setups may reach the full 3-inch potential. The final settled height stabilizes after the recommended 500km break-in period. This lift range is ideal for fitting 32-33 inch tyres without rubbing while maintaining excellent ride quality and factory-like handling characteristics for daily driving and highway touring.
This comprehensive kit includes four Dobinsons MRA monotube remote reservoir shock absorbers (two front, two rear) with 3-way adjustable damping, four heavy-duty raised coil springs with multiple load ratings available, all necessary mounting hardware and bushings, damping adjustment tools, and detailed installation instructions. Spring rates are customized to your specified constant accessory load during ordering. Please note that supplementary components such as upper control arms, brake line extensions, differential drop kits, or extended sway bar links are sold separately and may be required depending on your specific vehicle configuration and lift height achieved.
Yes, this Dobinsons MRA kit is exceptionally well-suited for towing applications thanks to the 3-way adjustable damping system that allows you to increase compression damping for improved load control and reduced rear squat under tow ball weight. The remote reservoir design maintains consistent damping performance even during sustained highway towing or challenging terrain with heavy trailers. For optimal towing performance, select rear spring rates appropriate to your constant rear load, and consider supplementing with airbag suspension for variable load leveling and additional support when towing near maximum capacity. The adjustable rebound damping helps control trailer sway and maintains vehicle stability at highway speeds.
While this 2-3 inch lift kit will function with factory control arms, upgrading to heavy-duty aftermarket control arms is highly recommended for optimal suspension geometry, improved CV joint angles, and enhanced steering response. Aftermarket upper control arms with extended ball joints help restore camber angles that shift with lift height, reducing tyre wear and improving handling precision. Lower control arms with upgraded bushings and reinforced construction reduce deflection under load and increase durability. For the best overall performance and longest component life, particularly if running larger tyres or carrying heavy loads, budget for control arm upgrades as part of your complete suspension build.
Yes, a comprehensive four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, including this Dobinsons MRA system. Lifting your vehicle alters critical suspension geometry including camber, caster, and toe angles, which directly affect tyre wear patterns, steering response, and vehicle stability. A qualified suspension or alignment specialist should perform the alignment using manufacturer specifications adjusted for lift height, ensuring all angles fall within acceptable ranges. Failure to perform proper alignment after installation will result in rapid and uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics, and potentially unsafe driving dynamics. Budget $150-250 for professional alignment services as part of your installation costs.
Yes, this kit offers multiple spring rate options for both front and rear to perfectly match your specific constant accessory load configuration. During ordering, you must accurately calculate the combined weight of all permanently installed accessories (bull bars, winches, canopies, drawer systems, etc.) and select the appropriate spring rate for front and rear independently. It's critical to be honest about your constant load — selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual load will result in harsh ride quality and potential component damage. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, or towing weight should not be factored into spring selection. Contact our technical team for personalized spring rate recommendations based on your specific setup.
With this 2-3 inch Dobinsons MRA lift kit installed on your Navara NP300, you can typically fit tyres up to 32-33 inches in diameter (285/70R17 or 265/70R18 equivalents) without modifications, depending on wheel offset and tyre width. Some minor trimming of plastic inner guard liners may be required for 33-inch tyres, particularly at full lock or during compression travel off-road. For aggressive tyre sizes or wider rubber, additional modifications such as guard rolling or aftermarket flares may be necessary. Always test fit and check for clearance at full steering lock and full suspension compression before committing to final tyre choice, and remember that larger/heavier tyres may require re-evaluation of spring rates and adjustment of damping settings.
This Dobinsons MRA lift kit is backed by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. Dobinsons shock absorbers typically carry a 2-year unlimited kilometer warranty, while coil springs are covered against sagging and breakage. Warranty coverage requires professional installation by a qualified technician, proper vehicle alignment post-installation, and use within the product's designed load and application parameters. Warranty claims require proof of purchase and inspection by an authorized Dobinsons dealer or distributor. For complete warranty terms, conditions, and claim procedures, contact 4WD Suspension Australia or refer to the warranty documentation included with your kit.
Absolutely — despite its race-proven heritage, the Dobinsons MRA kit delivers exceptional daily driving comfort and highway manners thanks to the sophisticated 3-way adjustable damping system. You can dial in softer compression and rebound settings for unladen highway cruising, achieving ride quality that rivals or exceeds factory suspension while still providing the control and capability for serious off-road work. The monotube remote reservoir design runs cooler and more consistently than twin-tube shocks, maintaining excellent damping performance during extended highway drives including corrugated dirt access roads. Simply adjust damping settings to suit your driving conditions — soft for daily comfort, firm for loaded touring or spirited off-road driving.
Transformed My NP300 for Outback Touring
Been running this Dobinsons MRA kit on my NP300 for six months now, covering everything from the Canning Stock Route to Cape York's toughest sections. The 3-way adjustability is a genuine game-changer – I can soften it up for corrugations and firm it back for loaded touring without compromise. Build quality is absolutely solid and the ride comfort loaded with gear is leagues ahead of what I had before.(5)
Perfect Setup for Our Family Adventures
Had these Dobinsons adjustable shocks fitted to our NP300 before our trip down the Gibb River Road and they absolutely transformed the Navara. The ride quality is night and day better than stock, especially when loaded up with the camper trailer and all the family's camping gear. Being able to dial in the damping for different conditions has been brilliant – soft for corrugations and firmer when we're touring on sealed roads between destinations.(5)
Best upgrade for my NP300 hands down
Had the Dobinsons MRA 3-way adjustable kit fitted to my D23 about 6 months ago and it's completely transformed the truck. The ride quality is outstanding whether I'm running empty on the daily commute or fully loaded with the camper on corrugated tracks out bush. Being able to dial in the damping for different conditions is a game changer, and the guys at 4WD Suspension Australia were fantastic with fitment advice.(5)
