Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and suspension performance. When ordering, choose your spring rates based on your constant accessory load only — not occasional loads or towing weight. Constant load refers to accessories permanently fitted to your vehicle that add weight 100% of the time.
Common Front Constant Loads: Bull bar, winch, upgraded intercooler, aftermarket air conditioning, long range fuel tank, underbody protection plates, upgraded battery systems, driving lights.
Common Rear Constant Loads: Rear bar, tow hitch, dual battery system, drawer systems, water tanks, fridge slide, roof rack, awning, upgraded exhaust systems, diff breather kits.
Important: Occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, and towing are NOT considered constant loads. Selecting unnecessarily heavy spring rates will result in harsh ride quality and may cause premature wear or damage to other suspension components. For vehicles regularly carrying heavy loads, consider supplementing with airbag suspension for adjustable load support.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this lift kit. The installation requires specialized tools, proper torque specifications, and knowledge of suspension geometry to ensure safe and optimal performance. A complete wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and ensure proper steering response and handling characteristics.
After installation, a 500km break-in period is required to allow springs to settle and shock absorbers to bed in properly. During this period, check all fasteners for proper torque and monitor ride height. For Prado 120 vehicles with significant lift, we recommend upgrading to extended control arms to restore proper suspension geometry and maximize tyre life.
The 3-way damping adjustments should be set to manufacturer baseline settings initially, then fine-tuned based on your specific driving conditions and load requirements. Rebound adjustments affect how quickly the suspension extends after compression, low-speed compression controls body roll and pitch during normal driving, while high-speed compression manages harsh impacts and rapid suspension movements.
Dobinsons has been engineering premium 4WD suspension solutions for over 60 years, with products tested extensively in the harshest Australian outback conditions. From the Simpson Desert to the Gibb River Road, Dobinsons suspension systems are trusted by serious tourers, professional tradespeople, and emergency services across Australia. Every component is backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and supported by a national network of experienced suspension specialists.
The MRA range represents the pinnacle of Dobinsons' engineering expertise, incorporating race-proven technology from their successful motorsport programs.

This kit is ideal for serious touring enthusiasts who demand the absolute best in suspension performance, remote area travelers requiring maximum reliability and adjustability, and 4WD owners who regularly carry heavy loads or tow caravans and trailers. The adjustable damping makes it perfect for drivers who experience varying conditions — from highway touring to corrugated outback tracks to technical rock crawling.
Tradespeople who use their Prado 120 as a mobile workshop will appreciate the heavy-duty construction and load-carrying capability, while weekend adventurers benefit from the ability to quickly adjust suspension settings for different terrain. If you frequently carry maximum payload or tow near your vehicle's limits, consider supplementing this kit with airbag suspension systems for ultimate load management and level ride height under all conditions.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for all Toyota Prado 120 Series models manufactured between 2003-2009, including both the 3.0L 1KD-FTV turbo diesel and 4.0L 1GR-FE petrol variants. The kit is designed to work with factory coil spring suspension setups on both GX and Grande specification levels. If you have any aftermarket suspension modifications or are unsure about your specific model variant, please contact our team or check the detailed fitment table above. We can verify compatibility and recommend any additional components required for your specific build.
This Dobinsons MRA kit provides approximately 50mm (2 inches) of lift over factory ride height when properly installed and settled. With this lift height, most Prado 120 Series vehicles can accommodate 265/75R16 or 265/70R17 tyres without rubbing, though this depends on wheel offset and specific driving conditions. For larger tyres or maximum clearance, additional modifications such as diff drops or further body trimming may be required. The final ride height can vary slightly based on your chosen spring rates and constant accessory load, typically settling within 45-55mm after the initial break-in period.
This complete kit includes 2 x Dobinsons MRA adjustable front shock absorbers with remote reservoirs, 2 x front coil springs, 2 x MRA adjustable rear shock absorbers with remote reservoirs, and 2 x rear coil springs in your selected spring rates. The shocks feature premium 6063 honed aluminum reservoirs, 3-stage sealing systems, and Carbon Fibre/PTFE/Disulphide composite wear bands. Spring rates are customized at time of order based on your constant accessory load. Please note that upper control arms, extended brake lines, diff drop kits, and installation hardware are sold separately and may be required depending on your specific vehicle configuration and desired setup.
Yes, this Dobinsons MRA kit is excellent for towing applications thanks to its adjustable damping system and heavy-duty construction. The 3-way adjustment allows you to firm up low-speed compression damping to reduce squat and sway when towing, while the remote reservoir design prevents shock fade during extended highway towing. However, towing weight should NOT be included when selecting your spring rates — choose springs based only on constant accessory load. For frequent heavy towing or maximum load carrying, we recommend supplementing this kit with airbag suspension which provides on-demand load support without affecting unladen ride quality.
While not absolutely mandatory for a 50mm lift, upgraded control arms are highly recommended to restore proper suspension geometry and maximize the benefits of your lift kit. Factory control arms at 50mm of lift will operate at steeper angles, which can affect ball joint wear, CV joint angles, and steering response. Extended or adjustable control arms correct these geometry issues, improve wheel alignment settings, reduce tyre wear, and enhance overall handling. Most experienced installers recommend control arm upgrades when lifting 50mm or more, particularly if you're planning serious off-road use or want to maximize component lifespan.
Yes, a complete 4-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, and this Dobinsons MRA kit is no exception. Changing suspension height alters your vehicle's camber, caster, and toe angles, which directly affects tyre wear, steering feel, and vehicle stability. A proper alignment must be performed by a qualified suspension specialist using calibrated equipment after the kit is fully installed and all components are torqued to specification. We also recommend rechecking alignment after the initial 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled, as ride height may change slightly during this period.
Spring rate selection is based exclusively on your constant accessory load — weight that is permanently fitted to your vehicle 100% of the time. Calculate the weight of front accessories like bull bars, winches, and upgraded intercoolers, then rear accessories like drawer systems, dual batteries, and rear bars. Do NOT include occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or towing weights in your calculation. If you're between spring rates, it's generally better to choose the lighter option for better ride quality. Our team can provide specific spring rate recommendations based on your exact accessory list — simply contact us with details of your setup for personalized advice.
With a properly installed 50mm Dobinsons lift kit, most Toyota Prado 120 Series vehicles can fit 265/75R16 or 265/70R17 tyres without significant rubbing during normal driving and moderate off-road use. However, exact fitment depends on wheel offset, backspacing, and suspension droop during articulation. Some drivers may experience minor rubbing at full lock or full compression with maximum size tyres, which can usually be resolved with minor trimming or bumper modifications. If you're planning to fit larger tyres or want guaranteed clearance during extreme articulation, additional modifications like diff drops or body lifts may be required alongside this suspension lift.
This Dobinsons MRA lift kit is covered by Dobinsons' comprehensive manufacturer warranty, which protects against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms vary by component type, with shock absorbers typically covered for 2-3 years or specific kilometer limits, and coil springs generally warranted against sagging or breakage for the warranty period. To maintain warranty coverage, the kit must be installed by a qualified professional according to Dobinsons specifications, and regular maintenance must be performed. Contact us for complete warranty details including specific terms, conditions, and claim procedures for your kit components.
Absolutely — the Dobinsons MRA kit excels in daily driving applications thanks to its adjustable damping system that lets you optimize ride quality for any situation. Set the dampers to softer settings for comfortable highway cruising and urban driving, then firm them up for loaded touring or spirited off-road work. The monotube design with remote reservoirs maintains consistent performance during highway use and prevents the shock fade common with traditional twin-tube designs. Many Prado 120 owners report improved on-road handling and reduced body roll compared to worn factory suspension, while maintaining excellent ride comfort that's suitable for daily commuting and long-distance highway travel.
