Dobinsons MRA shock absorbers represent the pinnacle of 4WD suspension engineering, born directly from championship-winning racing technology. The innovative Monotube Remote Reservoir design features a precision-honed 6063 aluminum reservoir, refined lightweight floating piston, and advanced Carbon Fibre/PTFE/Disulphide composite wear band that dramatically reduces internal friction. This translates to noticeably enhanced ride quality, superior damping performance, and exceptional fade resistance even under the most demanding conditions.
The 50mm extra-large bore paired with remote oil reservoirs creates optimal oil capacity and surface area, effectively resisting shock fade and maintaining consistent vehicle handling whether you're loaded for a Cape York expedition or running empty on your daily commute. The upgraded 3-stage FKM-HNBR shaft seal mechanism minimizes operational friction and significantly extends product lifespan in Australia's dusty, corroded outback environments.
Experience complete control over your Landcruiser's suspension behavior with Dobinsons' sophisticated 3-way adjustment system. High-speed compression damping fine-tunes how your shock absorbers respond to rapid shaft movements when crossing whoops, rock ledges, or sudden terrain changes. Low-speed compression adjustments directly impact wheel traction, body control during cornering, pitching under braking, and overall ride comfort balance.
Rebound damping control allows you to optimize tire contact with the ground, prevent excessive suspension bounce on corrugations, and manage your vehicle's pitch and roll characteristics. This groundbreaking design distributes heat evenly between the main piston and reservoir piston, resulting in lower operating temperatures and rapid, hassle-free damping adjustments. Achieve unparalleled shock tunability across diverse Australian terrains and vehicle loads—from empty highway cruising to fully loaded touring with rooftop tent, dual batteries, and long-range fuel tanks.
This comprehensive lift system includes precision-matched components beyond just shocks and springs. Upgraded control arms correct suspension geometry at the raised ride height, preventing premature wear and maintaining proper wheel alignment throughout suspension travel. Heavy-duty torsion bars provide progressive load support for the independent front suspension while maintaining on-road comfort. The included diff drop kit prevents CV angle issues and drivetrain vibration by repositioning the front differential to match the new suspension geometry.
Dobinsons raised rear coil springs are available in multiple load ratings to perfectly match your specific constant accessory weight. Every component has been refined and tested specifically for the Landcruiser 100 Series IFS platform, ensuring optimal compatibility, performance, and longevity across Australia's diverse conditions from beach sand to alpine tracks.

Choosing the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality, load capacity, and component longevity. Select your spring rate based solely on your constant accessory load—the weight permanently installed in or on your vehicle, not occasional loads. Common front constant accessories include bull bars, winches, upgraded batteries, long-range fuel tanks, and heavy-duty bash plates. Rear constant accessories typically include drawer systems, dual battery setups, water tanks, fridges, roof racks, spare tire carriers, and permanently mounted camping equipment.
Important: Do not select a heavier spring rate to accommodate occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or towing. Oversprung suspension results in harsh ride quality, reduced traction, and potential damage to other suspension components. If you frequently carry variable loads, consider pairing this lift kit with airbag suspension for adjustable load support without compromising unladen ride comfort.
Professional installation by an experienced 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this comprehensive lift kit. The installation involves torsion bar replacement, control arm upgrade, differential repositioning, and precise shock absorber setup—all requiring specialized tools and technical knowledge. A complete four-wheel alignment using a qualified alignment shop is mandatory after installation to prevent uneven tire wear and ensure proper handling characteristics.
Allow a 500-kilometer break-in period for springs to settle and bushings to seat properly before making final damping adjustments. During this break-in period, check all mounting hardware torque specifications and inspect components for proper fitment. Final ride height may vary slightly after the break-in period as springs settle into their working rate. For optimal front-end geometry and maximum performance, consider pairing with additional suspension components such as extended brake lines and adjustable panhard rods.

This Dobinsons kit provides approximately 50mm (2 inches) of additional ground clearance over factory ride height when correctly installed and settled. With this lift height, most 100 Series Landcruisers can accommodate up to 285/75R16 or 33-inch tyres without rubbing, though trimming of plastic inner guards may be required depending on wheel offset and specific tyre choice. Larger tyres may be possible with additional modifications such as guard trimming or aftermarket bullbar removal. Final tyre fitment depends on your specific wheel offset, suspension travel, and driving conditions.
This comprehensive kit includes 2 front and 2 rear Dobinsons MRA adjustable remote reservoir shock absorbers, a pair of raised rear coil springs in your selected load rating, heavy-duty front torsion bars, upgraded front upper control arms, a complete front differential drop kit, and all necessary mounting hardware. You'll need to select your preferred rear spring rate at checkout based on your constant accessory weight. Some additional components like extended brake lines, modified bump stops, or adjustable panhard rods may be required depending on your specific build and are sold separately.
Yes, this Dobinsons MRA kit is excellent for towing applications up to 3500kg when correctly configured. The 3-way adjustable damping allows you to increase compression damping to reduce rear squat and improve stability when towing heavy loads. Select an appropriate rear spring rate that accounts for constant tongue weight if you tow regularly. For frequent heavy towing or variable loads, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear for on-demand load support without compromising unladen ride quality. The upgraded shock absorbers provide superior fade resistance during extended highway towing compared to factory dampers.
Yes, this kit includes upgraded front upper control arms which are essential components for this lift height. The upgraded control arms correct front suspension geometry at the raised ride height, preventing issues like premature ball joint wear, uneven tyre wear, and poor handling characteristics. The control arms work in conjunction with the included differential drop kit to maintain proper CV axle angles and ensure your Landcruiser's independent front suspension operates within design parameters. Installing a lift kit without correcting suspension geometry can lead to expensive component failures and safety concerns.
Yes, a complete four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, and should only be performed by a qualified alignment shop experienced with 4WD vehicles. The installation process affects camber, caster, and toe settings which must be corrected to manufacturer specifications or performance settings to prevent rapid tyre wear and ensure safe handling. Book your alignment appointment before beginning installation. We also recommend rechecking alignment after the 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled and all components have seated properly.
Select your spring rate based solely on your constant accessory load—the weight permanently installed in or on your vehicle. Calculate the combined weight of items like bull bars, winches, drawer systems, dual batteries, water tanks, long-range fuel tanks, and permanently mounted camping equipment. Do not select heavier springs to accommodate occasional loads like passengers, camping gear, or towing weight, as this results in harsh ride quality and reduced traction when unladen. If you're between ratings or carry highly variable loads, choose the lighter spring and consider adding airbag suspension for adjustable support.
With 50mm of lift, most 100 Series Landcruisers can fit up to 285/75R16 or equivalent 33-inch tyres with minimal modifications such as plastic inner guard trimming. Final tyre clearance depends on your wheel offset, with more negative offset pushing tyres outward and potentially causing rubbing on body mounts or guards at full steering lock. Test fit tyres before committing to expensive wheel and tyre packages, and cycle the suspension through full compression and steering articulation to check for contact points. Running significantly larger tyres may require additional modifications and can affect gearing, braking performance, and fuel economy.

Absolutely—this Dobinsons MRA kit is specifically engineered to deliver excellent on-road comfort while providing off-road capability when needed. The 3-way adjustable damping allows you to tune the suspension softer for comfortable daily commuting, then firm it up for demanding off-road adventures or heavy towing. At 50mm lift height, handling characteristics remain very close to factory with proper installation and alignment. Many owners report improved ride quality over factory suspension, particularly when carrying typical accessory loads that would overwhelm stock springs. This versatility makes the MRA kit ideal for vehicles serving dual duty as daily drivers and weekend adventure rigs.
Perfect upgrade for our family tourer
Had this 2-inch lift kit fitted to our 100 Series a few months back and it's transformed how the old girl handles with a full load of camping gear and the kids in the back. The Dobinsons setup gives us that extra clearance we needed for beach tracks and forestry roads without making it feel like a bucking bull on the highway. Really impressed with the ride quality – wife actually commented it feels smoother than stock when we're loaded up heading to the high country.(5)
