Selecting the correct spring rate is critical to achieving optimal ride height, handling, and comfort from your Dobinsons lift kit. You must calculate your constant accessory load — meaning the weight permanently mounted to your vehicle at all times. Common front constant loads include bull bars, winches, driving lights, upgraded batteries, and long-range fuel tanks. Rear constant loads typically include rear bars, spare tyre carriers, dual battery systems, drawer systems, canopies, and roof racks with permanently mounted gear. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, water tanks, and towing do not count as constant load. Choosing overly heavy spring rates based on occasional loads will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and may cause premature wear to other suspension components. When ordering, be honest about your setup — if unsure, contact our team for expert spring rate recommendations tailored to your exact build.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this lift kit to ensure correct fitment, safety, and warranty compliance. While experienced DIY mechanics with proper tools can tackle the installation, precise torque settings, spring compressor safety, and shock mounting orientation are critical. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to restore correct camber, caster, and toe settings — preventing premature tyre wear and ensuring safe handling. We also recommend a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle to their final ride height; avoid extreme loads during this period. Depending on your lift height and intended use, you may benefit from pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore suspension geometry and maximize articulation off-road.

Yes, this Dobinsons Monotube Suspension Kit is specifically engineered to fit all Toyota Landcruiser Prado 120 Series models from 2002 to 2009, covering both petrol and diesel engine variants. The kit is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for your factory suspension components with no modifications required to mounting points. If you're unsure about your exact series or have aftermarket modifications already installed, our team can confirm fitment compatibility before you order. Simply contact us with your VIN or build date for personalized confirmation.
This Dobinsons Monotube Suspension Kit delivers between 2 and 3 inches (approximately 50-75mm) of lift height for your Toyota Landcruiser 120 Series, depending on your selected spring rates and constant accessory load. The actual lift achieved will vary based on the weight of permanently mounted accessories such as bull bars, winches, canopies, and drawer systems. Heavier constant loads will compress springs slightly, potentially reducing lift to the lower end of the range, while lighter builds may achieve closer to 3 inches. Final ride height will settle after approximately 500km of normal driving as springs bed in.
This complete Dobinsons kit includes two monotube front shock absorbers, two heavy-duty front coil springs, two monotube rear shock absorbers, and two raised rear coil springs — everything needed to lift and upgrade both the front and rear suspension of your 120 Series. Spring rates are customizable based on your constant accessory load requirements to ensure optimal performance. Note that this kit does not include upper control arms, extended brake lines, differential drop kits, or installation hardware, which may be required depending on your specific vehicle configuration and lift height achieved. Contact our team if you need help identifying additional components for your build.
Absolutely — this Dobinsons Monotube kit is an excellent choice for towing applications, offering increased rear spring rates and superior shock damping to control body roll and rear squat when hauling caravans, camper trailers, or boat trailers. The monotube shock design provides consistent damping performance even under heavy loads and high temperatures encountered during extended highway towing. However, spring rates should be selected based on your constant rear load only (not occasional towing weight), and if you regularly tow at or near your GVM, we recommend supplementing this kit with airbag suspension for on-demand load support. This combination delivers the best balance of unladen ride comfort and fully-loaded towing stability.
While upper control arm upgrades are not strictly mandatory for a 2-3 inch lift on the 120 Series, they are highly recommended to restore correct suspension geometry, improve wheel alignment parameters, and maximize off-road articulation. Lifting your vehicle without correcting control arm angles can lead to increased tyre wear, reduced steering precision, and compromised handling characteristics. Upgraded control arms with additional caster correction and extended ball joint travel will optimize your suspension's performance, especially if you plan serious off-road touring or want the best possible on-road manners. Our team can recommend compatible control arm options specifically engineered for the 120 Series to complement your Dobinsons lift.
Yes, a professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any suspension lift kit, including this Dobinsons system. Lifting your 120 Series will alter camber, caster, and toe angles from factory specifications, which can cause rapid and uneven tyre wear, poor handling, and steering pull if not corrected. A qualified suspension specialist should perform the alignment using manufacturer specifications adjusted for your new ride height, preferably after the initial 500km break-in period when springs have settled to their final height. Failing to align your vehicle after lift kit installation will void most tyre warranties and can create unsafe driving conditions, particularly at highway speeds or during emergency maneuvers.
Yes, this Dobinsons kit offers customizable spring rate options for both front and rear to perfectly match your constant accessory load — one of the key advantages of this system over one-size-fits-all kits. When ordering, you'll select spring rates based on the permanent weight you carry, including bull bars, winches, canopies, drawer systems, dual batteries, and long-range tanks. It's critical to calculate only constant loads (accessories fitted at all times) and exclude occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, water, and towing weights. Choosing overly stiff springs based on occasional loads will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and potential damage to other suspension components. Our team can help you calculate your exact constant load and recommend the optimal spring rates for your build.
This 2-3 inch Dobinsons lift will typically accommodate tyres up to approximately 33 inches in diameter (265/70R17 or 285/70R17) on the 120 Series without rubbing, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset, tyre brand (some measure larger than stated size), and suspension articulation during off-road use. For maximum clearance and articulation without rubbing, minor trimming of plastic inner guards may be required, particularly if running aggressive tread patterns or wider track wheels. If you're planning to run 33-inch tyres or larger, we recommend confirming clearance with your installer during fitment and test-driving over varied terrain before heading remote. Remember that larger tyres will also affect gearing, speedometer accuracy, and braking performance — recalibration or gear ratio changes may be beneficial.
Dobinsons suspension components are backed by a comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, giving you peace of mind for your investment in quality Australian-engineered suspension. Specific warranty terms and duration vary by component type and are detailed in the documentation included with your kit. To maintain valid warranty coverage, the kit must be installed by a qualified technician according to Dobinsons installation guidelines, and you must use the correct spring rates for your actual constant load (not overloaded). Warranty does not cover damage from incorrect installation, misuse, overloading beyond rated capacity, or failure to perform required maintenance such as wheel alignments. For full warranty details and claims procedures, refer to the included warranty card or contact us directly.
Absolutely — this Dobinsons Monotube kit is engineered to deliver excellent daily driving comfort and highway manners while still providing the off-road capability and load-carrying performance 4WD enthusiasts demand. Unlike budget lift kits that sacrifice on-road comfort for off-road performance, Dobinsons' progressive-rate springs and precision-valved monotube shocks provide a balanced ride quality that's comfortable unladen around town yet controlled and composed when loaded for touring or towing. The monotube shock design eliminates fade during extended highway driving, maintaining consistent damping for safe handling at speed. Thousands of Australian tradies and touring families run Dobinsons suspension as their daily driver setup, proving its versatility across all driving conditions from urban commuting to remote outback expeditions.
Proper Kit for Serious Remote Touring
Been running this Dobinsons monotube lift kit on my 120 for about 8 months now, including some rough tracks through the Simpson and Cape York. The ride quality is genuinely impressive – soaks up corrugations far better than my old setup while staying composed when loaded with touring gear. Well worth the investment if you're doing proper remote work rather than just mall crawling.(5)
Perfect Setup for Family Outback Adventures
Fitted this Dobinsons monotube kit to our 120 Series about six months ago and it's been brilliant for our monthly camping trips down to the High Country and out west. The ride quality is noticeably better than the old setup, especially when loaded up with the family and all our gear. Ground clearance has improved heaps and the monotube shocks handle the corrugations so much better than I expected.(5)
Solid kit for daily work and weekend trips
Been running this Dobinsons lift kit on my 120 for about 6 months now, carting tools and materials around Melbourne during the week and hitting the high country most weekends. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock even when loaded up, and the monotube shocks handle corrugations way better than I expected. Fitment was straightforward enough for a weekend install, and the extra clearance has already saved my diff a few times on rutted tracks.(5)
Proper Kit for Serious Remote Touring
Just finished the Canning Stock Route with this Dobinsons monotube lift kit and it handled the whoops and corrugations brilliantly. The ride quality loaded up with water, fuel and recovery gear is leagues ahead of my old setup – no more bottoming out on ruts. Installation was straightforward enough for a weekend job, and the height is spot-on for the 33s I wanted to run without any drama.(5)
Perfect for Family Trips Through the High Country
Had this Dobinsons lift kit fitted to our 120 before our last trip through the Victorian Alps and the difference was night and day. The ride quality is surprisingly smooth even with the kids and all the camping gear loaded up, and we tackled some pretty rough tracks without any dramas. Really impressed with how well-engineered it is for Australian conditions – you can tell these blokes know what they're doing.(5)
