Choose your spring rate based on what stays fitted to the FJ Cruiser day to day, not just your heaviest trip. Standard-rate 2" springs suit a vehicle with a bullbar and winch but no rear touring load, while a firmer rear rate is worth discussing with our team if you're running a roof-top tent, long-range fuel tank, drawers or rear bar and spare tyre carrier. Front accessories like bullbars, winches and steel bumpers, and rear accessories like drawer systems, water tanks and dual spares, are the main factors that shift the ideal spring rate.
This is a bolt-on kit for an experienced DIY installer with the right tools, though we recommend a qualified 4WD workshop for the coil spring compression and reservoir bracket mounting. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring camber, caster and toe back within factory tolerance at the new 2" ride height. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the shocks and springs to settle before fine-tuning the damping adjustment. If you're lifting the front end, pairing this kit with control arm upgrades corrects CV and steering angles that shift once the vehicle sits higher.
Dobinsons has been building and testing suspension for Australian conditions for decades, and the MRA range is developed specifically around local corrugations, gravel roads and touring loads rather than sealed-road use only. Every MRA kit carries a manufacturer warranty and is backed by our Australian-based fitment support team if you have questions before or after you order. Tourers and tradespeople running the FJ Cruiser as a genuine work or touring vehicle choose Dobinsons for its adjustability and remote-reservoir cooling — view the full Dobinsons range for matching componentry.
This kit suits FJ Cruiser owners fitting a bullbar, winch or roof-top tent who need the standing height and load support to match, and tourers who want adjustable damping to tune ride quality for corrugated tracks versus blacktop. If you're carrying a constant heavy rear load such as a canopy and drawers, it's worth asking our team about airbag suspension to add load-levelling on top of this kit.

This Dobinsons MRA kit is designed for the Toyota FJ Cruiser GSJ15R sold in Australia from 2011 to 2016 with the 4.0L V6 1GR-FE petrol engine. It uses the factory coil spring mounting points front and rear, so no cutting or drilling is needed. If you're unsure of your build date or series, our team can confirm fitment from your VIN before you order.
This kit provides a 2" lift front and rear using the vehicle-specific raised coil springs included in the kit. The actual ride height gained depends on the accessories already fitted and your final spring rate selection. Our team can talk you through expected height with a bullbar, winch or rear touring load already on the vehicle.
Please note that all assembled struts are dispatched at a height based on our experience and the manufacturer’s specifications for the advertised lift. Coil springs and leaf springs are also manufactured according to the advertised height and constant-load rating. Actual vehicle height may vary depending on the vehicle and the weight of fitted accessories. Further adjustment may therefore be required after installation. The installer may use coil spacers or adjust the struts at their discretion to achieve the desired height. We are not responsible for vehicle-specific height variations or any additional adjustments required after installation.
The kit includes 2 x Dobinsons MRA adjustable front shocks and 2 x MRA adjustable rear shocks, both with remote oil reservoirs and 3-way external adjustment, plus 2 x 2" raised front coil springs and 2 x 2" raised rear coil springs. Remote reservoir mounting brackets and the fitting hardware are included. Upper control arms are sold separately and recommended for correct front-end geometry at this ride height.
Yes, the raised rear coil springs and adjustable rear shocks support additional load, which helps rear-end stability when towing or carrying a heavy tow ball weight. The 3-way adjustable damping lets you firm up the rebound setting when a loaded trailer is attached. For constant heavy tow loads, ask our team whether a firmer rear spring rate or an airbag suspension add-on suits your setup better.
At a 2" lift, the factory front control arms can run into reduced CV joint and steering angles, so we recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms for correct geometry. It's not always mandatory at 2" depending on your alignment specialist's findings, but it's the most common upgrade paired with this kit. Our team can advise based on your exact FJ Cruiser build and intended use.
Yes, a full wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit to bring camber, caster and toe back within factory specification at the new ride height. Skipping alignment leads to uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel. We recommend booking alignment immediately after fitment, before extended driving.
Yes, Dobinsons offers different coil spring rate options for the FJ Cruiser depending on your constant accessory load front and rear. If you're running a bullbar and winch up front, or drawers, a fridge and a roof-top tent at the rear, tell our team what stays fitted day to day and we'll match the spring rate to suit.
A 2" lift typically creates clearance for a modest tyre size increase over factory, though exact clearance depends on your wheel offset and whether flares are fitted. We recommend confirming your intended tyre and wheel combination with our team before ordering so we can advise on rubbing points at full lock and full compression.
This Dobinsons MRA kit is covered by the Dobinsons manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Our team handles warranty claims on your behalf and can talk you through the process if an issue comes up. Genuine fitment and warranty support is provided from our Australian base.
Yes, the MRA shocks are designed to keep a compliant, comfortable ride at unladen weight, not just under load, so the FJ Cruiser remains usable as a daily driver. The 3-way adjustable damping lets you soften the ride for commuting and firm it up for touring or a loaded trailer. Most owners set the damping once after the 500km bed-in period and rarely need to change it for daily use.
