Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality, load capacity, and suspension longevity. Only consider your constant accessory load — this means equipment fitted to your Hilux permanently, not occasional loads like camping gear or towing. Common front accessories include steel bull bars (30-50kg), winches (30-40kg), driving lights, UHF aerials, and upgraded bash plates. Rear constant loads include steel rear bars, dual battery systems, drawer systems, long-range fuel tanks, and canopies or tub liners. Occasional loads such as camping equipment, tools, towing caravans, or carrying dirt bikes should NOT be factored into spring selection — if you regularly tow heavy loads, consider pairing this kit with airbag suspension for adjustable load support without compromising unladen ride quality.
Professional installation by an experienced 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and optimal setup of the adjustable dampers. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and ensure proper handling characteristics. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle and bushings to seat before fine-tuning your shock absorber settings. Depending on your lift height and intended use, you may benefit from pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct castor angle, maximize articulation, and maintain factory steering geometry for optimal handling and reduced ball joint wear.
With over 60 years of Australian suspension engineering heritage, Dobinsons has earned its reputation as the suspension of choice for outback adventurers, grey nomads, and professional tradespeople who demand reliability in the harshest conditions.

This lift kit is specifically engineered for all Toyota Hilux N80 series models from August 2015 onwards, including SR, SR5, Workmate, Rugged, Rugged X, and Rogue variants across all cab configurations (single cab, extra cab, dual cab). It suits both 2WD and 4WD models with petrol and diesel engines. The kit is designed to work with factory suspension mounting points and requires no major modifications for fitment. If you've made previous modifications to your Hilux or are unsure about compatibility with aftermarket accessories, contact our suspension experts for personalized fitment advice.
This Dobinsons MRA lift kit provides 2-3 inches (50-75mm) of lift height for your Toyota Hilux N80, depending on your constant accessory load and selected spring rates. The actual lift achieved varies based on front-end weight from bull bars, winches, and other accessories, as well as rear load from canopies, drawers, and tub modifications. Heavier constant loads will compress springs more, resulting in lift closer to 2 inches, while lighter builds may achieve closer to 3 inches. This lift height is ideal for fitting 33-inch tyres and improving ground clearance for off-road capability while maintaining stable on-road handling and factory-like ride comfort.
This comprehensive kit includes everything needed for a complete front and rear suspension upgrade: 2 x MRA 3-way adjustable front shock absorbers with remote reservoirs, 2 x heavy-duty front coil springs, 2 x MRA 3-way adjustable rear shock absorbers with remote reservoirs, 2 x 40mm raised rear leaf springs, 4 x heavy-duty U-bolts, 1 x complete polyurethane bush kit, and all mounting hardware and brackets. The kit does not include upper control arms, diff drop components, or extended brake lines which may be required depending on your specific lift height and vehicle configuration. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct setup and adjustment of the 3-way damping system.
Yes, this Dobinsons MRA kit is excellent for towing when paired with correctly selected spring rates and proper setup. The 3-way adjustable damping allows you to increase compression damping when towing heavy loads, providing superior control and reducing body roll and rear squat. The upgraded 40mm raised leaf springs with multiple load rating options deliver significantly improved rear load capacity compared to factory springs. However, towing weight should NOT be considered when selecting your spring rate — choose springs based only on constant accessory load. For frequent heavy towing, we strongly recommend adding airbag suspension which allows you to adjust ride height and load support on-demand without compromising unladen ride quality.
While this 2-3 inch lift kit can be installed with factory control arms, upgrading to aftermarket extended control arms is highly recommended for optimal suspension geometry, improved castor angle correction, and maximum wheel articulation. Control arm upgrades become particularly important at the upper end of the lift range (closer to 3 inches) to maintain proper ball joint angles, reduce steering wander, and prevent premature wear on suspension components. Upgraded control arms also provide additional wheel travel and articulation for serious off-road use. Our suspension experts can recommend the best control arm options for your specific Hilux build and intended use — contact us for personalized advice on completing your suspension upgrade.
Yes, professional wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on your Toyota Hilux N80. Raising the vehicle alters suspension geometry and affects camber, castor, and toe settings which directly impact tyre wear, steering feel, and vehicle stability. Failure to perform proper alignment after installation will result in rapid and uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics, and increased stress on suspension components. We recommend having alignment performed by a workshop experienced with lifted 4WD vehicles who can properly adjust settings within manufacturer specifications. Allow approximately 500km of driving for springs to settle before final alignment adjustment and shock absorber fine-tuning.
Spring rate selection must be based exclusively on your constant accessory load — equipment permanently fitted to your vehicle, not occasional loads. For the front, calculate the combined weight of your bull bar (steel bars typically 30-50kg), winch (30-40kg), driving lights, upgraded bash plates, and any roof rack systems. For the rear, include canopy or hard lid weight, drawer systems, dual battery setups, long-range fuel tanks, rear bars, and permanently mounted recovery equipment. Do NOT factor in camping gear, tools, towing loads, or passengers as these are variable loads. Selecting springs too heavy for your actual constant load will result in harsh ride quality and potential damage to other suspension components. If unsure, contact our team with details of your accessories for expert spring rate recommendation.
With this 2-3 inch Dobinsons MRA lift kit properly installed, your Toyota Hilux N80 will accommodate up to 33-inch tyres (285/75R16 or 285/70R17 depending on wheel size) with minimal to no rubbing under full compression and steering lock. Actual tyre clearance depends on wheel offset, tyre width, and whether you've trimmed inner guard liners or fitted aftermarket flares. Some light trimming of plastic inner guards may be required for full articulation without contact. For tyres larger than 33 inches, additional modifications such as body mount chop, guard trimming, and diff drop components may be necessary. The MRA adjustable shocks provide excellent control for the increased unsprung weight of larger tyres while maintaining ride quality and handling performance.
This genuine Dobinsons MRA lift kit is covered by comprehensive manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Dobinsons shock absorbers typically carry warranty coverage when installed by qualified professionals and maintained according to specifications. Coil springs and leaf springs are warranted against sagging and breakage under normal operating conditions. Warranty coverage requires proof of professional installation and may be void if incorrect spring rates are selected, vehicle is operated beyond rated payload capacity, or components are damaged through misuse or lack of maintenance. Keep all installation documentation and contact 4WD Suspension or Dobinsons directly for specific warranty terms and claims process for your purchase.
Absolutely — the Dobinsons MRA 3-way adjustable system is specifically designed to deliver exceptional comfort for daily driving while providing performance on-demand when needed. For highway touring and daily commuting, dial the dampers to their softer settings for plush ride quality that rivals or exceeds factory suspension comfort. When loaded for weekend trips or tackling corrugated outback tracks, increase compression damping for controlled, fade-free performance. The premium monotube design with remote reservoirs maintains consistent damping characteristics across all conditions, eliminating the harsh ride often associated with budget lift kits. The adjustability means you're never compromising — you get comfortable daily driving, stable towing performance, and serious off-road capability all from one suspension setup.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Camping Rig
Had this Dobinsons 3-way adjustable lift kit fitted to our 2018 Hilux about six months ago and it's been brilliant for our monthly camping trips down the coast and up through the High Country. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially when loaded up with the camper trailer and all the kids' gear. Really impressed with how easy it is to adjust the dampers depending on whether we're running empty or fully loaded - makes a huge difference on corrugated tracks.(5)
