Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal performance and ride quality. When ordering, choose your spring rates based on constant accessory load only — this means weight that is fitted to your vehicle permanently, not occasional loads like camping gear or towing. Common front accessories include bullbars, winches, upgraded bumpers, driving lights, and intercooler upgrades. Rear constant loads include drawer systems, dual battery setups, water tanks, long-range fuel tanks, rear bars, and permanently mounted spare wheel carriers. Selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual load will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and may cause premature wear to other suspension components. Our team can help you calculate your constant load if unsure.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this kit. The MRA adjustable shocks require proper setup and tuning to achieve optimal performance across all three damping circuits. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct camber, caster, and toe settings — failure to align may result in premature tyre wear and poor handling. All Dobinsons kits require a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle and damping characteristics will stabilize. For FJ Cruisers with significant front-end weight or seeking maximum articulation and wheel travel, consider pairing this lift with upgraded control arms to correct suspension geometry and prevent ball joint binding.
Dobinsons Spring & Suspension has been engineering and manufacturing premium 4WD suspension in Australia since 1953, with over seven decades of proven performance on our harshest roads and tracks.

Explore the complete Dobinsons suspension range for complementary steering dampers, airbag systems, and chassis components.
This kit is ideal for FJ Cruiser owners who demand the ultimate in suspension adjustability and performance — serious touring enthusiasts covering long distances with varying loads, off-road adventurers tackling challenging terrain from beach sand to rocky trails, and those who tow caravans or trailers regularly. The 3-way adjustment capability makes this kit perfect for vehicles with frequently changing requirements: commute to work comfortably during the week, then dial in aggressive settings for weekend off-road adventures. If your FJ Cruiser carries significant rear load or tows regularly, consider adding airbag suspension for on-demand load support and level correction.

This kit is specifically engineered for the Toyota FJ Cruiser GSJ15R series (2011-2016) with the 4.0L V6 petrol engine. It's a direct bolt-on fitment designed around the FJ Cruiser's unique coil-sprung front and rear suspension configuration. To confirm compatibility with your specific build date or variant, contact our team with your VIN number. We can verify exact fitment and recommend any additional components like extended brake lines or differential drop kits if required for your particular vehicle setup.
This kit delivers a genuine 50mm (2 inches) of lift at both the front and rear, measured from factory ride height with equivalent load. This lift allows fitment of tyres up to approximately 33 inches in diameter (285/75R16 or 265/75R17 depending on wheel offset) without rubbing during normal driving conditions. Some minor trimming of plastic inner guards may be required at full compression during extreme articulation. For aggressive tyre choices or wheels with different offsets, our suspension specialists can advise on any additional modifications needed to ensure clearance.
This is a comprehensive four-corner lift kit including 2x Dobinsons MRA adjustable front shock absorbers with remote reservoirs, 2x heavy-duty front coil springs (custom rate selection), 2x MRA adjustable rear shock absorbers with remote reservoirs, 2x heavy-duty rear coil springs (custom rate selection), plus all necessary mounting hardware and installation instructions. The kit does NOT include upper control arms, extended brake lines, diff drop components, or wheel alignment — these may be required depending on your specific application and should be discussed with your installer. Spring rates are customized to your constant accessory load during ordering.
Absolutely — the Dobinsons MRA adjustable system is exceptional for towing applications thanks to its 3-way damping control. When towing, you can increase low-speed compression damping to reduce squat and maintain vehicle stability under load, then reduce it when driving unladen for improved comfort. The heavy-duty coil springs are available in multiple rates to support your towing requirements, and the monotube remote reservoir design prevents shock fade during extended highway runs with heavy trailers. For maximum towing capability and on-demand load support, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear for instant load leveling adjustment.
While this kit will install using factory control arms on most FJ Cruisers, upgrading to heavy-duty adjustable upper control arms is highly recommended for several reasons. Aftermarket control arms correct suspension geometry after lifting, preventing ball joint binding and premature wear, increase wheel travel and articulation for serious off-road use, and allow fine-tuning of camber and caster angles for optimal alignment. If your FJ Cruiser carries significant front-end weight (bullbar, winch) or you regularly drive challenging off-road terrain, upgraded control arms should be considered an essential complement to this lift kit for maximum performance and component longevity.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on your FJ Cruiser. Lifting the vehicle changes suspension geometry and alters camber, caster, and toe angles from factory specifications. Without proper alignment, you'll experience accelerated and uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics, and potentially unsafe steering behavior. The alignment must be performed by a workshop with 4WD experience and proper alignment equipment. This should be done immediately after installation, then rechecked after the 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled to their final ride height.
Spring rate selection is based exclusively on your constant accessory load — permanent weight fitted to your vehicle, not occasional loads like camping gear. During ordering, you'll specify front and rear constant loads separately. Front constant loads include items like bullbars, winches, upgraded bumpers, driving lights, and intercooler systems. Rear constant loads include drawer systems, dual batteries, long-range fuel tanks, water tanks, rear protection bars, and permanently mounted accessories. Do NOT include the weight of passengers, camping equipment, towing loads, or fuel as these are variable loads. If you're unsure about your constant load weight, our team can help you calculate it accurately to ensure optimal spring selection and ride quality.
With the 50mm lift provided by this kit, Toyota FJ Cruiser owners can typically fit tyres up to 33 inches in diameter (such as 285/75R16 or 265/75R17) depending on wheel offset and backspacing. Stock offset wheels generally accommodate these sizes with minimal to no trimming of inner plastic guards. More aggressive tyre and wheel combinations may require additional modification including guard trimming or wheel spacers. Actual clearance will also depend on your shock absorber settings — softer compression damping allows more suspension compression travel which may cause contact with larger tyres. Always test fitment at full lock and full compression before committing to aggressive tyre choices, and consult with your installer for specific recommendations.
Dobinsons suspension products are backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage when installed by a qualified professional and used for their intended purpose. The MRA shock absorbers and coil springs are covered against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty coverage requires proof of purchase, professional installation, and proper vehicle maintenance including regular servicing and appropriate wheel alignment. Off-road competition use, commercial applications beyond normal GVM ratings, and improper installation may void warranty coverage. For complete warranty terms, conditions, and coverage duration specific to this kit, contact our team or refer to the warranty documentation included with your kit.
Yes — despite being engineered with race-proven technology, the Dobinsons MRA kit is perfectly suited to daily driving when properly set up. The 3-way adjustment system allows you to dial in a comfortable highway-oriented setup for commuting and long-distance touring, with soft low-speed compression for compliance over bumps, moderate high-speed compression for stability, and controlled rebound for comfort. You can then quickly adjust to firmer settings for off-road adventures or towing applications. Many FJ Cruiser owners run these kits as their everyday suspension, appreciating the ability to optimize performance for different driving conditions. The key is working with your installer to establish baseline settings matched to your typical driving requirements.
