Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality and performance. When ordering, choose your spring rate based on constant accessory load only — the combined weight of permanently installed accessories that your vehicle carries 100% of the time. Do not include occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, water, or towing loads in your calculation, as selecting overly stiff springs will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and may cause premature wear to other suspension components.
Common front constant loads: Bull bar, winch, auxiliary lights, dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, roof racks (empty weight only).
Common rear constant loads: Drawer systems, dual battery setups, water tank systems (empty weight), canopies, tub liners, auxiliary fuel tanks (empty), rear bar, spare wheel carriers.
Professional installation is strongly recommended for this comprehensive lift kit, as it involves torsion bar replacement, control arm fitting, diff drop installation, and precise suspension adjustment. A full 4-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering geometry, prevent uneven tyre wear, and restore factory handling characteristics. Allow for a 500km break-in period where springs will settle 5-10mm and dampers will bed in for optimal performance. For optimal geometry correction and extended CV joint life, consider pairing this kit with additional suspension components such as extended brake lines, castor-corrected radius arms, or adjustable panhard rods depending on your final lift height.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for Toyota Landcruiser 100 Series IFS (Independent Front Suspension) models manufactured between 1998 and 2007, including all variants such as GXL and Sahara. The kit includes vehicle-specific torsion bars, control arms, diff drop hardware, and shock absorbers designed to match the 100 Series chassis geometry and weight distribution. If you own a 105 Series solid front axle Landcruiser, this kit will not fit — please contact our team to identify the correct kit for your vehicle. For complete confirmation of fitment, provide your VIN number or check our online parts finder tool.
This Dobinsons MRA kit provides a 2-3 inch (50-75mm) lift over factory ride height, depending on your selected spring rates and constant accessory load. The final lift height is determined by the rear coil spring rate you choose and the front torsion bar adjustment — heavier constant loads will compress springs more, reducing effective lift. While the shock absorbers feature 3-way damping adjustment for ride quality tuning, the actual ride height is controlled by spring selection and torsion bar preload. A qualified installer can fine-tune the exact lift during installation by adjusting torsion bar tension to achieve your desired stance while maintaining proper CV axle angles.
The kit includes everything needed for a comprehensive front and rear suspension upgrade: 2 x MRA adjustable front shocks, 2 x MRA adjustable rear shocks, a pair of raised rear coil springs (load-rated to your selection), a pair of heavy-duty front torsion bars, a pair of Blackhawk replacement upper control arms, a Roadsafe diff drop kit, and all necessary mounting hardware and bushings. This kit does NOT include extended brake lines, adjustable panhard rod, bump stop extensions, castor correction bushes, or wheel alignment — these items are sold separately and may be required depending on your final lift height. Our team can advise on additional components needed for your specific build.
Yes, the Dobinsons MRA system is excellent for towing when paired with correctly selected rear spring rates. The 3-way adjustable damping allows you to stiffen low-speed compression when towing, reducing squat and maintaining level towing geometry for improved stability and braking performance. The MRA shocks' large oil capacity and remote reservoirs prevent fade during long highway towing sessions. For maximum towing capability and on-demand height adjustment, we recommend adding airbag suspension to the rear of this kit — airbags allow you to increase spring rate only when towing, then deflate for comfortable unladen touring. Always ensure your combined vehicle and trailer weight remains within manufacturer GVM and GCM limits.
Yes, upgraded control arms are essential and included with this kit. The Blackhawk upper control arms restore correct suspension geometry when your vehicle is lifted 2-3 inches, ensuring proper wheel alignment, minimizing CV joint angle stress, and maintaining factory-like steering response and tyre wear patterns. Factory control arms are designed for stock ride height — using them at lifted heights causes excessive positive camber, poor tyre contact patch, wandering steering, and accelerated CV boot/joint failure. The included control arms are mandatory for safe operation and should not be omitted. Some owners also choose to add adjustable lower control arms for additional castor correction and fine-tuning capability.
A professional 4-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing this or any suspension lift kit. Lifting your Landcruiser alters camber, castor, toe, and CV axle angles significantly — without realignment, you'll experience rapid uneven tyre wear, poor steering response, vehicle pull or drift, and potentially unsafe handling characteristics. The alignment must be performed by a qualified technician using a modern alignment rack, preferably one experienced with lifted 4WDs. Book your alignment appointment before installation and allow 1-2 hours for the technician to properly set camber, castor, toe, and check all steering components. Some geometry settings may fall outside factory specifications at lifted height — this is normal and expected.
Spring rate selection is based solely on constant accessory load — the permanent weight of accessories installed on your vehicle 100% of the time, not occasional loads like camping gear or towing. Weigh or estimate your front constant loads (bull bar, winch, lights, dual battery, long-range tank) and rear constant loads (drawers, canopy, water tanks empty, dual battery, rear bar). Select the spring rate that matches your total constant weight from the dropdown options when ordering. Do NOT select a heavier spring rate "just to be safe" or to account for occasional camping loads — oversized springs create a harsh ride, poor articulation, and can damage shock absorbers and bushings. If unsure, our team can calculate the correct spring rate from your accessory list.
With a 2-3 inch lift, most Landcruiser 100 Series owners can comfortably fit up to 33 inch tyres (285/75R16 or 285/70R17) with minimal to no trimming required, depending on wheel offset and backspacing. Some aggressive 33" tread patterns may require minor trimming of plastic inner guards at full lock. If you're planning to run 35 inch tyres, you'll typically need the full 3" of lift, body mount chop, suspension travel limiting, and potentially fender trimming — this significantly affects on-road handling and may require engineering certification. We strongly recommend test-fitting your chosen tyre and wheel combination before finalizing the lift height and spring rates, as different wheel offsets dramatically affect clearance at full compression and steering lock.
Dobinsons MRA shock absorbers and suspension components are backed by a comprehensive Australian manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The standard warranty period is typically 12-24 months depending on the component, with extended warranty available for registered products. Warranty coverage requires proof of professional installation, adherence to specified torque settings, and use within the product's design parameters (GVM compliance, appropriate spring rate selection). The warranty does not cover damage from vehicle accidents, incorrect installation, operation beyond rated capacity, or normal wear items like bushings and seals. Register your kit online after installation and retain your invoice to validate warranty claims. Contact our team for specific warranty terms and claims procedures.
Yes, when set at the 2 inch lift configuration with correctly matched spring rates, this kit is perfectly suitable for daily driving, highway commuting, and family use. The MRA shocks' 3-way adjustable damping allows you to dial in a comfortable, compliant ride for bitumen driving, then firm up for off-road work or heavy loads. The Monotube design provides superior heat dissipation for fade-free highway performance even when loaded. However, the 3 inch lift configuration (75mm) may diminish on-road handling characteristics, increase body roll, and potentially require engineering certification for road registration in some Australian states. Always check your state's vehicle modification regulations and consider having the completed installation assessed by a qualified vehicle certifying engineer if required.
Proper Kit for Serious Remote Touring
Been running this Dobinsons MRA lift kit on my 100 Series for about 18 months now, including some pretty punishing tracks through the Simpson and Cape York. The 3-way adjustable damping on those remote reservoir shocks is a game-changer when you're loaded up with fuel, water, and recovery gear—finally got the balance right between on-road comfort and controlling body roll on corrugations. Worth every cent if you're doing proper remote work, not just beach runs on the weekends.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
We've put this Dobinsons lift kit through its paces on several Cape York trips now with the kids and all the camping gear loaded up, and it's transformed how the 100 handles both on corrugations and when we hit the beach. The adjustable remote reservoir shocks are brilliant – I can dial them up for washboard roads and soften them off for the tarmac run home. Fitment was straightforward and the ride quality is leagues better than the old setup, even when we're fully loaded with the camper trailer on the back.(5)
