The Dobinsons MRA Adjustable 2" Front Struts suit the Toyota Hilux N80 (2015-on) and combine monotube shock technology with a height-adjustable coilover spring perch, giving you a genuine 2" front lift with tunable ride height to match your bullbar, winch and driving lights. Rebound damping is externally adjustable so you can dial in comfort on the highway or firmness under load off-road. Pair them with matching coil springs or a rear leaf spring upgrade for a full front-and-rear lift. In stock in Australia with Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Because these struts run an integrated coil spring, the height-adjustable perch is your main tool for matching ride height to your actual front-end weight rather than swapping springs. Heavier front accessories such as a steel bull bar, winch, driving light bar or bull bar-mounted UHF aerial all push the front end down, so the perch should be set accordingly. If you're running a very heavy front bar and winch combination, talk to our team about whether a higher-rate front coil spring suits your setup better than perch adjustment alone.
| Option | Part Number | Front Lift | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2" Lift | MRA59-A228 | Up to 2" (45mm) | Pairs with 45mm raised front coils |
| 3" Lift | MRA59-A574 | Up to 3" (75mm) | Longer stroke; pairs with 75mm raised front coils |
Fitting these struts involves removing the factory front strut assembly and replacing it with the Dobinsons MRA unit, then setting the coilover perch to your target ride height. We recommend professional fitment or an experienced DIY installer with the correct spring compressors and torque specs on hand. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to correct camber and caster at the new ride height, and Dobinsons recommends a 500km bed-in period before final alignment for the components to settle. If you're lifting the front end noticeably, pairing this strut with upgraded control arms helps restore correct suspension geometry and CV joint angles.
Dobinsons has manufactured 4WD suspension in Australia for decades, with products tested on local roads and tracks rather than imported blind. Every MRA strut is backed by a manufacturer warranty, and our team can talk you through fitment specifics for your Hilux N80 before you buy. Tourers, tradespeople and everyday Hilux owners across Australia run Dobinsons gear because it's designed for local conditions — view the full Dobinsons range to compare options.
This strut suits Hilux N80 owners running a bull bar, winch or driving lights who need the front ride height and damping adjusted to suit that added weight, without giving up on-road comfort. It's also a solid option for owners planning a staged lift build, upgrading front struts now and rear leaf springs or airbag suspension later for towing and load-carrying duties. Tradies carrying tools and gear daily, and tourers fitting out for remote travel, are the typical buyers for this setup.
These Dobinsons MRA Front Struts are in stock in Australia and dispatch fast from local stock, with our team on hand to confirm fitment for your specific N80 build. Browse our full lift kit range if you're planning a complete front-and-rear suspension upgrade.

Yes, these Dobinsons MRA struts are built specifically for the Toyota Hilux N80 built from 2015-on, covering both 2.4L 2GD-FTV and 2.8L 1GD-FTV turbo-diesel variants. They are a direct front strut replacement using the factory mounting points. If you're unsure about your exact model or build date, use our parts finder for the Hilux N80 or contact our team to confirm before ordering.
This strut provides a 2" front lift, adjustable on the vehicle via the coilover spring perch. That means you can dial the front end anywhere up to that 2" mark to suit accessory weight rather than being locked to one fixed height. Rear lift height depends on whatever rear spring you pair it with, sold separately through our leaf spring or coil spring range.
This listing includes two Dobinsons MRA Adjustable Front Struts, each with an integrated coil spring, height-adjustable perch and externally adjustable rebound damping. Mounting hardware for standard front strut fitment and fitting instructions are included. Rear shocks, rear springs and control arms are not included and are sold separately.
These front struts help support additional front-end weight such as bull bars and winches, but towing load is primarily carried by the rear suspension. For a Hilux N80 used for towing, pair this front strut with a rear leaf spring rated for your constant load, or consider airbag suspension for variable towing loads. Talk to our team about matching front and rear components to your actual towing setup.
At a 2" front lift, factory control arms will still work, but corrected upper control arms improve caster and CV joint angles at the raised height. We recommend pairing this strut with upgraded control arms if you're running the full 2" and want optimal geometry and reduced tyre wear. This isn't mandatory for the strut to function, but it does improve long-term component life.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting these struts. Changing ride height alters camber and caster, so an alignment shop needs to reset these to spec once the perch height is set. We recommend a 500km bed-in period before the final alignment so the strut settles into position.
These struts use an integrated coil spring with a height-adjustable perch rather than swappable spring rates. Ride height adjustment through the perch is how you compensate for front-end accessory weight on this particular strut. If your front-end load is very heavy, contact our team to discuss whether a different Dobinsons front spring rate suits your build better.
A 2" front lift typically creates clearance for larger tyres on a Hilux N80, but actual clearance depends on tyre width, wheel offset and whether you're also running a rear lift. We recommend checking your intended tyre size against your specific wheel offset, or contacting our team for guidance based on similar N80 builds we've supported.
These Dobinsons MRA Front Struts are covered by Dobinsons' manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. Full warranty terms are confirmed at the time of purchase, and our team can talk you through the specifics for this product. Keep your proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes, these struts are designed to balance daily comfort with the extra control needed for a loaded front end. The monotube design and adjustable rebound damping let you set them up firmer for touring or softer for daily commuting. Many Hilux N80 owners run this exact strut as their everyday front suspension while still carrying a bull bar and winch.
