Choosing the correct spring rate is essential for optimal ride quality and vehicle handling based on your constant accessory weight. For front springs, consider accessories like steel bullbars, winches, driving lights, dual battery systems and roof racks. For rear springs, account for canopies, toolboxes, drawer systems, long-range fuel tanks, dual spare wheels, rooftop tents and fridge slide setups. A general rule is to calculate your constant accessory weight (not including variable loads like passengers or cargo) and select springs rated approximately 50-100kg higher than your accessories to maintain ride height under normal driving conditions while allowing proper suspension travel and comfort.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD mechanic is strongly recommended for this complete lift kit, though experienced DIY enthusiasts with proper tools and workshop facilities can complete the installation. A full wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct camber, caster and toe settings, maximizing tyre life and maintaining safe handling characteristics. All Dobinsons suspension kits require a 500-kilometre break-in period during which springs will settle and shock absorbers will bed in — ride height may drop 10-20mm during this period before stabilizing. For vehicles lifted 4 inches, we strongly recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms (included in this kit) to maintain correct suspension geometry and prevent premature wear of ball joints and CV boots.
Dobinsons has been engineering premium 4WD suspension solutions for over 60 years, with extensive Australian outback testing ensuring every component can handle the harshest conditions from corrugated desert tracks to tropical mud and coastal salt exposure. Trusted by grey nomads, tradespeople, mining operators and professional tourers across Australia, Dobinsons suspension delivers unmatched reliability backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and nationwide dealer support. The MRA adjustable range represents the pinnacle of Dobinsons engineering, bringing race-proven monotube technology to touring and commercial vehicles. Explore the full Dobinsons suspension range for complementary upgrades including steering dampers, extended shackles and differential breathers.
This kit is perfect for Hilux owners who demand maximum capability: tradespeople carrying heavy toolboxes and equipment daily, touring families with rooftop tents and loaded drawers heading to Cape York or the Kimberley, and caravan towers needing increased rear payload capacity and towing stability. If you regularly carry variable loads or tow heavy trailers, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear for on-demand load support and level towing without compromising unladen ride quality.

This kit is specifically engineered for all Toyota Hilux N80 models from 2015 onwards, covering both pre-facelift and facelift variants including GUN and KUN engine codes. It suits all cab configurations including Single Cab, Extra Cab and Dual Cab across Workmate, SR, SR5, Rugged and Rugged X trim levels. The kit includes all necessary components for a complete installation including diff drop and control arms. If you have aftermarket accessories or a non-standard configuration, we recommend contacting our team to confirm fitment for your specific build.
This kit provides a full 4 inches (approximately 100mm) of suspension lift when measured from standard factory ride height. The lift is achieved through taller front coil springs and rear leaf springs, combined with the included control arms and diff drop to maintain correct suspension geometry. Actual installed height can vary slightly depending on your vehicle's constant accessory weight such as bullbars, winches, canopies and drawer systems. After the initial 500km break-in period, you can expect ride height to settle approximately 10-20mm as springs and bushes bed in.
This comprehensive kit includes everything needed for a complete front and rear lift: 2 x MRA adjustable monotube front shock absorbers, 2 x front coil springs, 2 x coilover adjuster spanners, 2 x monotube rear shock absorbers, 2 x heavy-duty rear leaf springs, 4 x U-bolts, polyurethane bush kit, 2 x greasable shackles and pins, 2 x front upper control arms, and 1 x front diff drop kit. Unlike many competitor kits that require separate purchase of control arms and diff drops, this Dobinsons package is truly complete. The only additional items you'll need are a professional wheel alignment after installation and possibly extended brake lines depending on your specific vehicle configuration.
Absolutely — this Dobinsons MRA kit is engineered specifically for heavy towing applications with upgraded rear leaf springs designed to handle increased payload and tongue weight without sagging. The adjustable monotube shock absorbers allow you to dial in more compression damping when towing, improving stability and reducing sway. Many Hilux owners towing 3000-3500kg caravans choose this kit for its load-carrying capability and adjustability. For the ultimate towing setup, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear which allows you to fine-tune rear ride height and level your vehicle under varying tow loads while maintaining excellent unladen ride quality.
Yes, upgraded control arms are essential when lifting your Hilux 4 inches, which is why they're included in this complete kit. Standard control arms at 4 inches of lift result in incorrect castor angles, leading to poor steering feel, reduced stability at highway speeds, premature ball joint wear and uneven tyre wear. The Dobinsons upper control arms included in this kit restore factory suspension geometry, correct castor angles and maintain proper ball joint angles throughout the full range of suspension travel. This ensures your lifted Hilux drives and handles safely while maximizing component lifespan and tyre wear.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, and this 4-inch system is no exception. The installation process involves removing and replacing major suspension components including control arms, springs and shocks, which will significantly alter your vehicle's camber, castor and toe settings from factory specifications. Without proper alignment, you'll experience accelerated and uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics, steering pull to one side, and potentially unsafe driving dynamics. We recommend having the alignment performed by a workshop experienced with lifted 4WDs who understand the specific alignment requirements and adjustment range of the Toyota Hilux N80 platform.
This kit comes with spring rates carefully selected by Dobinsons engineers to suit the majority of Toyota Hilux N80 applications with typical aftermarket accessories. The front springs accommodate common accessories like steel bullbars, winches and driving lights, while the rear springs handle canopies, toolboxes and drawer systems. If you have significantly heavier or lighter constant accessory weight than typical, custom spring rate selection may be available — contact our suspension experts to discuss your specific build and we can recommend whether the standard springs in this kit suit your application or if alternative spring rates would better match your constant load requirements.
With a 4-inch suspension lift, your Toyota Hilux N80 can typically accommodate up to 33-inch tyres (approximately 285/75R16 or 285/70R17 depending on wheel size) with minimal to no body modifications required. Actual tyre clearance depends on several factors including wheel offset, backspacing, and whether you've installed aftermarket fenders or trimmed factory plastic guards. For maximum articulation off-road without rubbing, some owners choose to trim inner guard liners or install aftermarket flares. If you're planning to run 35-inch tyres, additional body modifications including fender trimming and possibly body mount chops would be required beyond this suspension lift alone.
Dobinsons backs this MRA lift kit with their comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, giving you peace of mind for your investment in premium suspension. Warranty coverage specifics vary by component — shock absorbers, springs and control arms each have defined warranty periods. The warranty is valid when the kit is installed by a qualified mechanic according to Dobinsons installation instructions and the vehicle is used within normal operating parameters. We recommend keeping your installation invoice and having regular suspension inspections as part of your vehicle service schedule. For detailed warranty terms and conditions specific to this kit, contact our team or refer to the warranty documentation included with your order.
Yes, despite providing serious off-road capability and lift height, this Dobinsons MRA kit is engineered for excellent daily driving comfort and highway stability. The adjustable monotube shock absorbers allow you to tune the ride to suit predominantly on-road driving, delivering a comfortable, controlled ride for your daily commute while retaining the ability to firm up damping for off-road adventures on weekends. The quality of Dobinsons engineering means you won't sacrifice on-road manners for off-road capability. Many Hilux owners run this kit on vehicles that spend 80% of their life on sealed roads, appreciating the improved ride height for visibility, the adjustability for varying loads, and the confidence of premium suspension when they do venture off the bitumen.
Perfect upgrade for our family camping adventures
Fitted this Dobinsons monotube kit to our Hilux before our trip down the Great Ocean Road and couldn't be happier with how it handles the extra weight of our rooftop tent and camping gear. The ride quality is noticeably smoother on corrugated tracks compared to the factory suspension, and the kids aren't complaining about being bounced around anymore. Well worth the investment for anyone who regularly loads up their rig for weekend getaways.(5)
Perfect Setup for Serious Remote Touring
Been running this Dobinsons monotube kit for 18 months now, covering everything from the Canning Stock Route to Cape York's roughest sections. The 4-inch lift handles my fully loaded GVM upgrade without any dramas, and the ride quality is genuinely impressive even when corrugated tracks try to shake the fillings out. Worth every cent if you're doing proper outback work.(5)
Perfect upgrade for our family adventures
Fitted this Dobinsons monotube kit to our Hilux before our last trip down to Wilsons Prom and the difference is night and day. The ride quality loaded up with the camper trailer and all the kids' gear is so much more comfortable than the stock setup, and we're not bottoming out on corrugations anymore. Really happy with how it's transformed the ute for our weekend getaways.(5)
Perfect for Daily Work and Weekend Trips
Been running this Dobinsons monotube kit on my Hilux for about 6 months now, carting tools and materials around job sites every day. The ride quality is heaps better than stock even when loaded up, and it handled the Cape York trip over Christmas without missing a beat. Couldn't be happier with how it's performing.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
Recently fitted this Dobinsons monotube kit to our 2017 Hilux and the difference is night and day. We've done three camping trips since installation, including some pretty corrugated tracks up in the High Country, and the ride quality is so much better than the stock setup - the kids aren't complaining about being bounced around anymore! Worth every cent for anyone who does regular touring with a loaded rig.(5)
