Lift height compliance: Suspension lifts of this size may exceed your state's allowable limit without engineering certification. Check your state's light vehicle modification rules (VSB14/NCOP) before fitting.
Choosing the right spring rate comes down to what you're carrying day-to-day, not just what fits in the tray occasionally. A ute running a steel bull bar, winch, canopy and dual battery tray needs a firmer rear leaf pack and front coil rate than one running a tray back and bare bumper. Tell our team your typical constant load — canopy weight, water tank capacity, drawers, fridge and touring gear — and we'll match the spring rate before you order.
This is a comprehensive suspension and geometry kit, so we recommend fitment by an experienced 4WD suspension workshop or an experienced DIY installer with a hoist and correct torque specifications. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring camber, caster and toe back within factory tolerance at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for springs and bushes to settle before final alignment. For correct front-end geometry at 4 inch of lift, pair this kit with control arm upgrades.
Dobinsons designs and tests its MRA suspension range in Australia, on Australian roads and tracks, rather than adapting a generic overseas product. Every MRA kit is backed by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty, and the shocks are field-serviceable rather than disposable. Tradespeople and touring owners across the country run Dobinsons gear because it's built to a known spec — view the full Dobinsons range to compare kits for your Hilux.
This kit suits Hilux N70 owners running heavier touring setups — canopies, camper trailers, caravans or bull bar and winch combinations — who need adjustable damping to match load. It also suits tradespeople carrying tools and equipment daily who want firmer control without sacrificing an unladen ride on the highway. If your rear load varies significantly trip to trip, also compare our airbag suspension options for adjustable load support.

Yes, this Dobinsons MRA Monotube 4" Lift Kit is built specifically for the Toyota Hilux N70 built between 2005 and 2015, covering the 2.5L and 3.0L turbo diesel and 4.0L V6 petrol variants. It is not a universal kit — the coil springs, leaf springs and diff drop bracket are matched to this chassis. If you're unsure of your build date or variant, our team can confirm fitment against your rego or VIN before you order.
This kit provides a genuine 4" of lift front and rear when fitted with the included front coil springs and rear leaf springs. Actual ride height achieved can vary slightly depending on accessory load, tyre size and whether the vehicle is laden or unladen. The diff drop bracket is included specifically to keep driveline angles correct at this lift height. Our team can talk you through expected height with your specific accessories fitted.
The kit includes 2 front and 2 rear Dobinsons MRA monotube shock absorbers with 3-way external damping adjustment, plus vehicle-specific front coil springs and rear leaf springs. It also includes a front diff drop bracket, extended front brake lines, rear shackles, U-bolt kit and the mounting hardware and bushes needed for fitment. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately, as most 4 inch lifts on the N70 need corrected upper control arm geometry.
Yes, the rear leaf springs in this kit are a heavy-duty constant load rate suited to towing and touring accessories such as canopies, camper trailers and caravans. The 3-way adjustable rear shocks let you firm up damping when towing and back it off for unladen driving. Tell us your typical tow ball weight and constant accessory load so we can confirm the leaf pack rate suits your setup.
At 4" of lift, upgraded upper control arms are strongly recommended on the Hilux N70 to restore correct CV joint and suspension geometry. Standard control arms can run out of adjustment and load the CV joints and ball joints at an angle they weren't designed for at this height. Upper control arms are sold separately to this kit — see our control arm range for N70-specific options. Our team can advise which arm suits your exact lift height and wheel offset.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit. Ride height changes camber, caster and toe angles, and alignment brings these back within factory tolerance to protect tyre wear and steering feel. We recommend aligning the vehicle after an initial 500km bedding-in period once springs and bushes have settled. Skipping alignment is the most common cause of uneven tyre wear on lifted Hilux utes.
Dobinsons offers the front coil springs and rear leaf springs for the N70 in different load ratings to suit different constant accessory loads. If you're running a heavier canopy, water tank, drawers and fridge setup, a firmer rear leaf rate keeps the tray level and improves stability. Contact our team with your typical laden weight and we'll confirm the correct spring rate for your kit before dispatch.
A 4" lift on the Hilux N70 typically provides enough clearance for a noticeably larger tyre than standard, though the exact maximum size depends on your wheel offset, guard trimming and whether you run flares. We recommend confirming your target tyre size with our team before ordering so we can advise on any additional clearance work needed. Upper control arm choice can also affect maximum tyre clearance at full lift and full steering lock.
This kit is backed by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty, covering manufacturing defects in the shocks, coil springs and leaf springs. As an authorised Dobinsons stockist, we handle warranty claims through our Australian-based team rather than requiring you to deal directly overseas. Contact us with your invoice details if you ever need to make a claim.
Yes, the 3-way externally adjustable damping lets you set the shocks softer for comfortable daily and highway driving, then firm them up when loaded or off-road. Many N70 owners run this kit as their daily driver and touring vehicle, adjusting damping rather than swapping shocks between conditions. As with any 4 inch lift, expect a firmer ride than standard until the springs and bushes bed in over the first 500km.
